Shit Politics

Yeah, yeah...

Dem say dis a di land of di free,

but inna di street, a different reality.

Verse 1

Dem promise peace and love for every nation,

a sanctuary for di whole generation.

But today di politics change up di direction,

marking di people wid bias and division.

If di law a wear a mask wid a speech of peace,

unjust politics show dem a fail, and it a must cease.

Chorus

Dem say a free land where di people can strive,

but dem hunt down di innocent just for keeping alive.

Where di promise gone dat di people shouldn't fret?

Months now me see dem politician, a pure fail dem get.

Yet we forced to pay di taxes from di work weh we do,

Oh no, stop wid di threat, me tired of di racist view!

Verse 2

Dem target di dreamer, di one who come build,

di one who sweat him brow till him family filled.

Dem point inna di dark and treat dem wid hate,

just for di skin color and dem home state.

Dem talk big words about liberty,

while inna di streets, a pure inequality.

Chorus

Dem say a free land where di people can strive,

but dem hunt down di innocent just for keeping alive.

Where di promise gone dat di people shouldn't fret?

Months now me see dem politician, a pure fail dem get.

Yet we forced to pay di taxes from di work weh we do,

Oh no, stop wid di threat, me tired of di racist view!

([Bridge] Heavy Rocksteady Riddim)

Nuh make paper words fool you mind,

human dignity a di realest thing you can find.

Wrong policy bound to fall one day,

people power can't get blocked inna no way.

([Outro] Fading with bassline and backing vocals)

Stop di persecution...

Peace and justice for di whole nation.

Me a tell you straight to you face, man,

real equality, no matter di language or di land
