Poverty

Poverty just a blow them mind
Poverty a blow the youths them mind
So in return all dem waan do is crime
Poverty a blow the people mind

We tell dem now
Poverty just a blow them mind
Poverty a blow the youths them mind
So in return all dem waan do is crime
Poverty a blow the people mind

Bills are fling they fun right
We can't take the bill inna we eyesight
Just yesterday we done pay the lights
And now dem send another one out there tonight
That no right in Jah sight
And then dem raise certain price despite
Just so black youth dem can't enjoy it
So in return all what them waan do is fights
_______________ Certain lights

Poverty just a blow them mind
Poverty a blow the youths them mind
So in return all dem waan do is crime
Poverty a blow the people mind

One more time
Poverty just a blow them mind
Poverty a blow the youths them mind
So in return al dem waan do is crime
It blow the people mind

Haffe join on employment line
And pray fe a better pay this time
Minimum wage can't be attention to your mind much less
We connect through telephone line
Bill collecters dem dep pon deh line
Givin' you calls just to remind
Seh pon a payment you there way behind
Interest rate just a move up high

Poverty just a blow them mind
Poverty just a blow them mind
Poverty just a blow them mind
Poverty just a blow them mind

Poverty just a blow them mind
Poverty a blow the youths them mind
So in return all dem waan do is crime
Poverty a blow the people mind

Poverty just a blow them mind
Poverty a blow youths them mind
So in return all dem waan do is crime
Poverty a blow the people mind

Bills are fling they fun right
We can't take the bill inna we eyesight
Just yesterday we done pay the lights
And now dem send another one out there tonight
That no right in Jah sight
A then dem raise certain price despite
Just so black youth dem can't enjoy it
So in return al dem waan do is fights
