Suffering and smiling na for me and you
Nobody cares

You see dem poll
For number five and six
And seven and eight
Dem just dey miscalculate
Instead of make dem relate
Dem go sit down dey debate
On who get the cake
And the people don tire to dey wait
See dem they no wan stop the fighting
See dem dem are biting and criticizing
Only dem are just dividing
But Jah is providing for I and I surviving

Debating money depreciating manipulating to hold us down
But nobody can stop us now

So make dem stop to dey look oh
Person no be fool oh
Dem know the rules and the views
But still dem refuse
Looking for a scapegoat to choose

To portray as a political mumu
Dem go tell am make e loot and improve
Their party wey dey rule
And when e come refuse chei
Dem go start to dey dey confused
Dem go want to dey use excuse
To infuse wetin no dey for book oh
They no want to stop the fighting

Only dem are just dividing
But Jah is providing for I and I surviving
Player hating demarcating and inflating rating democrazing
Miscalculating to hold us down
But nobody can stop us now
