Lyrics

Whoa ooy, ooy - aah, aah aye Equal right and justice We want to see it whoy ooy Jah people walk through the valley of the shadow of life All through the agony of Babylon, we fear no evil Poor. Jah people We have been hit, stoned and refused Kicked out on the street so many, many times Poor. Jah people Jah is not satisfied with what is going on He need to see some more equal rights and justice turn up Poor. Jah people We have never been given a chance even one time To try and control our own little lives Poor. Jah people, wooy, wooy For Jah know it all Jah seal it and hol' and control it Poor. Jah people Equal rights and justice stand for all But some take it aside away and slowly crawl Poor. brrrr, Jah people (.) Qedamawi Qedamawi I I, Selassie Mahamlai, Ras Qatari I The heads of all gods The King of King and Lords of Lords Poor. poor Jah People Jah is not satisfied with what is going on He need to see some more equal rights and justice turn up Poor. Jah people We have been used, stoned and refused Kicked out on the street for so many, many times Poor. Jah people Some have got a bag full in their hands And while you see some, dem mouth wide from hungry Poor. Jah people But it will be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth Who nah no teeth, dem gum a go feel it Poor. Jah people Who know they are doing wrong Just translate it and put in right Poor. Jah people I-man ah obey these words, I say For before one of these word pass away Zion and earth pass Poor. Jah people From a long time ago we have been working on the plantation With nothing at all to gi' remember Poor. Jah people It is full time now for us to have There should be there more no more, have not I say Poor Jah people, poor Jah people Oh Jah, oh Jah Rastafari I just can't express in words, I say Poor. Jah people But all I know whatever you're doing for poor Jah people Do it good and positive, I say Poor. Jah people, poor Jah Jah never yet been asleep or slumber Jah count in all your deeds and days by number Poor. Jah people Be careful what you do and say The prayers of the poor Reach to the ears of Jah His Imperial Majesty I (Poor. Jah people) Rastafari ?? he put in my mind Living like this can't be good at all Poor. Jah people Some on the street, drinking dirty water Some eating out of garbage pan, I say Poor. Lord Jah Rastfari - Jah people Only Jah I can tell all my problems Because I'm really my brothers keeper Poor. Jah people
