Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You think a little bit a suffer Tanty suffer?
You think a little bit a pressure she under?
Is plenty
You think a little bit a pressure Tanty under?
Is not a little bit of hunger she suffer
Is plenty
[Verse 2]
Well, Tanty bound to suffer
Is like she bound to suffer
She have no land, no lumber
Is only cockroach and thunder
Then picture this picture
Is only cesspit or river
Is either duck bone or dog rice
She give she life to sacrifice (She suffering)
And every mouth want feeding
And Tanty sit down veranda
She see the village, how it changing
She never touch computer (She suffering)
[Verse 3]
She suffering
She suffering
She suffering
[Verse 4]
Old dirt, nasty dirt
Worthless dirt, earthless hurt
Plenty dirt, bogus dirt
Dirt remaining since 1970 (She suffering)
Since auntie dream of secretarial work
Get put on hold for matrimony
As if that were the pinnacle (She suffering)
As if air-condition office
And shorthand proficiency
Could beat back poverty
In that colony
Either that, either that (She suffering)
Or escape to New York (She suffering)
Skyscrape colony (We suffering)
You make your tall money (We suffering)
You work five job and you weary (He suffering)
But eventually, you end up (He suffering)
Right back up on that hill (We suffering)
With your kin and family (We suffering)
Is perpetual slavery (We suffering)
In this colony (We suffering)
When you born in poverty (We suffering)
Your house does fall down easily (She suffering)
[Verse 5]
We suffering
She suffering
Suffering
She suffering
She suffering
We suffering
[Verse 6]
Tanty, raise your hand but your hand can't raise
That palm crimp and can't raise to groom it
So cut it
Speak your tongue but your tongue can't use
Is only wind the throat pumping, pumping
Beat your heart but the drum skin slack
Ay-ay, is only a Malta Carib the woman drink
(She suffering) So in the middle of the dance
They had to stop the music
And call for the ambulance (We suffering)
And when the mark bust (We suffering)
Is a blood vessel burst
In auntie good head (Suffering)
(Suffering)
[Verse 7]
Listen to the river but the river can't run
Somebody say, "The river dry, but is still a river"
(We suffering)
And is years now
Auntie waiting to open she mouth to sing (She suffering)
[Verse 8]
We suffering
He suffering
She suffering
She suffering
He suffering
We suffering
She suffering
[Verse 9]
You think a little bit a suffer she suffer?
Not a little bit a pressure them under?
Is plenty
Oh, gosh
You think a little bit a pressure Tanty under?
Is not a little bit of suffer she suffer
Is plenty
[Verse 10]
(He suffering)
Is not a little bit a pressure them under?
And not a little bit of suffer them under?
Verity
(Suffering) You think a little bit of hunger she under
You think a little bit of hunger she under
Is plenty
[Verse 11]
We suffering
We suffering
We suffering
We suffering
We suffering
Suffering
[Verse 12]
We suffering
She suffering
We suffering
We suffering
[Verse 13]
(She suffering) Is not a little bit a suffer
Not a little bit a pressure
Is not a little bit of suffer they under
Not a little bit a pressure they under?
(She suffering) Not a little bit of suffer
Plenty
[Verse 14]
(We suffering) Is not a little bit of suffer them under
(She suffering) Not a little bit of pressure
(Suffering)
[Verse 15]
She suffering
We suffering
She suffering
