Popcaan - The System Lyrics

Sad to say, ubt
White people ah bawl
Indian people ah bawl
Black people ah bawl
Chinese people ah bawl
System, design fi set we up, yeah
Dem give we di guns and dem same one come wet we up

Dre Skull weh di system do fi ghetto yute? Nothing
Weh dem do fi ghetto yute? Nothing
Every day another mother bawl
Dem don't do nuttin' at all, yeah
We've been suffering from we small, so

Some think seh a bed ah rose
Through pretty clothes inna me closet
None ah dem nah see me pain, further more dem neva ask yet
Silence ah di baddest weapon, so you know weh mi do? Me talk less
Man ah work every day down ah wharf
And a three grand a week dem ah accept
Dem nuh waan' me fi build mama house
Don't waan' mi fi own no assets
Sufferation everywhere mi turn
So give thanks to Jah when yuh pass it
Suh ghetto yute don't mek nuh silly plans
Believe in yourself be a man
Dem waan' we fi dead pon di road
Dem nuh waan' we fi mek billions

Dre Skull weh di system do fi ghetto yute? Nothing
Weh dem do fi ghetto yute? Nothing
Every day another mother bawl
Dem don't do nuttin' at all, yeah
We've been suffering from we small, so

If we sell weed ah problem dat
If we do a robbery a problem dat
Di whole world a pray fi di problem stop
Nobody don't cater fi solving dat
Innocent yute ah receive gunshots
Mama haffi dress up inna white and black
Oh God tired fi go ah Dovecot

White people ah bawl
Indian people ah bawl
Black people ah bawl
Chinese people ah bawl
System, design fi set we up, yeah
Dem give we di guns and dem same one come wet we up

Dre Skull weh di system do fi ghetto yute? Nothing
Weh dem do fi ghetto yute? Nothing
Every day another mother bawl
Dem don't do nuttin' at all, yeah
We've been suffering from we small, so

If we sell weed ah problem dat
If we do a robbery a problem dat
Di whole world a pray fi di problem stop
Nobody don't cater fi solving dat
Innocent yute ah receive gunshots
Mama haffi dress up inna white and black
Oh God tired fi go ah Dovecot
