Lyrics:

How could this be?
Not one penny!
We pockets empty

Not one penny you no want see we have
Not one penny you no want see we have
And when the money make you a de first one to grab
Not one penny you no want see we have
Not one penny you no want see we have
Not one penny you no want see we have
And when the money make you a de first one to grab
Not one penny you no want see we have

'Bout five years this woman de pon the same job
And for all the hard work she do and performance
Fifty cent days alone you giving to a grown man
By the time she pay rent and bills all the money done
It circle right back 'round to the rich man
And it circle right back 'round to the rich man
It circle right back 'round to the rich man
It circle, it circle, circle, circle...

(chorus)

Want make we haffe pay fi di water and natural resources
Want make we haffe buy land from you that is not yours
Come change wrong things and put pon off course
Where only you and your people benefit of course
Yuh slinging and blinging upon your golf course
While the poor singin' in a hard times chorus
All the poor singin' in a hard times chorus
While the poor singin' in a hard times chorus...

(chorus)

You can keep you chow change, better worth we have
Worth more than any president's money bag (money bag)
And that money in a the world put together (together)
And that amount to direct lessons from Creator (Creator)
We singing and shouting out harder (harder)
Babylon watch out for the Almighty Father (Father)
Babylon watch out for the Almighty Father (Father)
Babylon watch out for the Almighty Father (Father)

(chorus)

Even a robber man no rob as much as you can pop
Already paid and yuh still _ like hug
Claiming pennies to refugee minorities
And expect a million dollar worth laboring
Once your lies made us blind but now we see
We're striving to leave that kind of crazy scenery
We're striving to leave that kind of crazy scenery
Weh all that has them money hungry

(chorus)
