Lyrics

Poison the 666 conception now!
Hey, slave-driver
I'm asking you this question again an' again an' again an' again
Work police, you false priest
Trying to indoctrinate Jah people but (Hear me man)
When will this payday be? (Slave driver)
When will this payday be? (Tell us this hour)
When will this payday be?
For these retired slaves (Let me ask you something)
When will this payday be? (Mr. Bigman)
When will this payday be?
When will this payday be?
For all these retired slaves (Ya a listen me?)
My forefather worked down here
On this great plantation
True, he didn't get no pay
For all their wasted days (Tell us now)
When will this payday be? (Mister Slave-driver)
When will this payday be? (Tell us this hour)
When will this payday be?
For all these retired slaves (Lord)
Will this payday be Monday?
Will this payday be Tuesday? (Tell us now)
Will this payday be Wednesday?
Wednesday, Jah, need a working day
Can this payday be Thursday? (Ben Johnson day)
Can it be Friday? (The regular payday)
Will it be Saturday? (Saturday Jean shoemaker's wife day)
Why won't you give me that (I want it now)
When will this payday be? (Slave-driver)
When will this payday be? (Oh, Jah)
When will this payday be?
For these retired slaves (Tell us now)
When will this payday be? (You better give me that)
When will this payday be? (Tell us this hour)
When will this payday be?
For these retired slaves
You beat my grandmother in the fields
Rape her and call her a prostitute
Fill the land with colored babies
From an outlaw's race (Cho)
When will this payday be? (I'm asking)
When will this payday be? (Backra Master, the table is turned)
When will this payday be?
For these retired slaves
We nah joke, we nah take back nah talk
When will this payday be? (Slave-driver)
When will this payday be? (You'd better give me that)
When will this payday be?
For these retired slaves
Boy, true!
Mama come suffer, father come suffer
Bad man suffer, pickney come suffer
Brother come, gone at prison
Uncle come, no have no job
When will this payday be?
