brighter day

we shall overcome must overcome
so mi a pray till Jahhovah come

mi pray to mi god weh deh a earth or sky
fi mi friend when say dem love mi
when mi know dem lie
mi pray fi di gully youth
because mi know dem cry
babylon a shoot wi dung
and dem a tell bare lie
mi pray cause rice and flour fi buy
can't depend pon cassava dat hard fi fry
nuh live inna no old days dat hard fi try
mi ras but mama eat steak and dat hard fi buy

so
we shall overcome
must overcome
seh ghetto yutes a money over gun

mi tired of the damn frustration
tired of babylon and dem damn molestation
dem know mi occupation
so nuh lock off the sun
and lock mi inna nuh station
wi music affi wi nation
ah it alone people use go tru dem tribulation
mi a talk wid di nation, mi no want no demonstration

we shall overcome must overcome
thy will be done, Jah know

mi tired a di everyday man a dead
tired a di innocent bloodshed
tired of it Jamaica a run red
people can't sleep inna dem bed
mi tired of di poverty
we need solidarity
mi a talk to the majority
you hear mi clearly

we shall overcome must overcome
