Lyrics
Allyuh there
And we here
So we comin ova there
Cause we have to get we share
Mus Eat Ah Food Out Here
Say we ready and prepare
Say we focus and aware
Seein clear
Mus Eat Ah Food Out Here
When the cupboard gettin bare
And the money disappear
Show no fear
Mus Eat Ah Food Out Here
Even if the powers try to interfere
In we career
We don’t care
Mus Eat Ah Food
It have a war with the rich and the poor
Check the prices of food in the store
Then check how much a man does work for
Then check rent
Lights, clothes and water
If ya have youths in the school
Ya have to pay transporter
If ya have a car ya need gas
Ya have no car you need cash
To move around
20 dollars it cost you to move in town
That’s 20% of ya day paid down
And we ain’t even count lunch yet
Hence di reason for bounce check
Phone get cut cause ya use it on the light bill
So you can see ya way around in the night, still
Bills is regular
Try to pay them when you able
You reconnect ya phone
Now they come and snatch ya cable
Put yourself in the shoes of a man who unstable
Financially getting used by employers who underpay him
Wha you go do when ya belly start grumblin?
Hungry man is a angry man
How yuh go humble him?
CHORUS
Say the youth man in di ghetto tryna stack a food
Why ya think they packin tools and they actin rude?
Put yourself inside they shoes you would be packin too
If you was on the battlefield nobody backin you
Ya attitude would be to do what you what ya have ta do
Even if it mean ya have to shoot a youth or stab a dude
And sit in the jail
And shit in the pail
And see ya visits gradually fail
As well as ya mail
Justice for sale
But we can’t afford it
While we fightin over these crumbs
Oil getting exported
So it’s time these crooked rich start getting extorted
Cause the people wraithed ( means upset. a west indian colloquialism)
Tired of bein shorted
The fact is the economics off balance
And when we look around the street
All we see is more violence
You have your cribs and your whips
Look how nice ya kids growin
While we kids malnourished with their ribs showin
