Poor Cry

[Intro]
Well to the babe and the suckling
I and I have to hustle hustle
And Mama do the hustling
And daddy haffi do the hustling too
Hey yo, yo, yo

[Chorus]
Yo What happen to the poor
Dem suffering some more
And a we the bigger heads ignore
And dem refuse to hear we when we cry

Yo, what happen to the poor, poor, poor
Keep dem suffering some more, more, more
And a we the bigger heads ignore
And dem rеfuse to hear we whеn we cry

[Verse 1]
Nuff youth from them a 2 year old dem out inna the cold
Don’t have no dad nor no mum
Some have to wipe car glass fi earn a little mast
Is him the family depending on
Daddy want to know where he went wrong
With a little bit of mast in him hand
Take a look across the ocean
Its the same situation
Its been there since time began
And nuff nuh overstand
Some a ignore the malnutrition and the senseless starvation
Nuff a ignore upliftment of man
And the ticking of the timebomb
Nuff know the right and still do the wrong
But in the end its just badang badang

[Chorus]
Cause dem a ignore,, the crying of the poor
And a we them suffering some more
And dem refuse to hear we when we cry

Yo, what happened to the poor, poor, poor
Keep dem suffering some more, more, more
And a we the bigger heads ignore
And dem refuse to hear we when we cry

[Verse 2]
Nuff pon the system dem rely pon
Nuff a Dem a welfare recipient
See the mother with the food stamps in her hand
But it better than eating out the trash can
Nuff a dem nuh ha no qualification
Street side college is where dem belong
Mama never have a mast, nickel nor a dime fi spend pon education
Where is daddy mi seh mama can't tell
See him a rum bar drunk like a hell
Things bitter like a hollows live off a borrows
What a hell when the rice can't swell

[Chorus]
Never ignore, the crying of the poor, poor, poor
And dem keep dem suffering some more
And dem refuse to hear we when we cry

Yo, what happened to the poor, poor, poor
Keep dem suffering some more, more, more
And a we the bigger heads ignored
And dem refuse to hear it when we cry

[Verse 3]
Make this linger in your memory
And stay as long as can be
There won't be no stability
If the people dem so needy
And the more the youth dem hungry
Is the more dem get so angry
And all that do a send up the crime rate
And the filling of the cemetery
Mister man why you so greedy
Time fi share you nuh member we
Through a u have the key
Grab and a flee
And A Cause pure anarchy
Where is the bare essential
And the things which is so vital
Yow when we backs gainst the wall and we pickney a bawl
We a go do things illegal

[Chorus]
So member the poor
Dem suffering some more
And a we the bigger heads ignore
And dem refuse to hear we when we cry

Yo, what happened to the poor, poor, poor
Keep dem suffering some more, more, more
And a we the bigger heads ignore
And dem refuse to hear we when we cry

[Verse 4]
Nuff pon the system dem rely pon
Nuff a Dem a welfare recipient
See the mother with the food stamps in her hand
But it better than eating out the trash can
Nuff a dem nuh ha no qualification
Street side college is where dem belong
Mama never have a mast, nickel nor a dime fi spend pon education
Where is daddy mi seh mama can't tell
See him a rum bar drunk like a hell
Things bitter like a hollows live off a borrows
What a hell when the rice can't swell

[Chorus]
What happened to the poor, poor, poor
Dem keep dem suffering some more, more, more

Yo, what happened to the poor, poor, poor
Keep dem suffering some more, more, more
And a we the bigger heads ignore
And dem refuse to hear we when we cry
