Woorden: Elephant Man. Other. Deep Down.


[Intro:]
Let's talk about stuff around we
Too much people a suffer round we
The recession get so deep
Is like it out fi drown we
Well...

[Chorus:]
Is like a poor people it mek fi keep down
Yuh get beat down if yuh nuh keep yuh feet down
Cause it hurt mi deep down, hurt mi deep down
Cyaa believe things a get soh sour inna we sweet town
Cause look how di farmer dem haffi a till di ground
An haffi a duck from gunshot when dem fi go sell a town
Cause it hurt mi deep down, hurt mi deep down
Cyaa believe things a get soh sour inna we sweet town

[Verse 1:]
Cause money mi want, unu tek man fi clown
We nuh wah fi see nuh depression a stick around
Cause Jah run di world him a spin it around
Look how much time things go bad and him bring it around {eh}
The street is hot, and a depression a do it
Tell mi why Kingston a run like down inna di middle east
Everyday yuh hear seh you have gangster tangle up wid police
Want peace from down a south, west fi go back a east

[Chorus:]
Cause is like a poor people it mek fi keep down
Yuh get beat down if yuh nuh keep yuh feet down
Cause it hurt mi deep down, hurt mi deep down
Cyaa believe things a get soh sour inna we sweet town
Cause look how di farmer dem haffi a till di ground
An haffi a duck from gunshot when dem fi go sell a town
Cause it hurt mi deep down, it hurt mi deep down
Cyaa believe things a get soh sour inna we sweet town

[Verse 2:]
A decision haffi go mek and we haffi do it fast
Poor people time a run out like sand through the hour glass
Cause poverty nuh care when recession a sweep pass
Mr Big man open up yuh eye yuh betta see it fast
We economy crash, mash up and now it drop off a di peak
And dem same one a play blind to it gwaan like seh dem nuh see it
Now a di likkle man inna di street tun round a feel di heat
Yuh nuh feel we standing inna quicksand dis a nuh concrete

[Chorus:]
Cause is like a poor people it mek fi keep down
Yuh get beat down if yuh nuh keep yuh feet down
Cause it hurt mi deep down, hurt mi deep down
Cyaa believe things a get soh sour inna we sweet town
Cause look how di farmer dem haffi a till di ground
An haffi a duck from gunshot when dem fi go sell a town
Cause it hurt mi deep down, it hurt mi deep down
Cyaa believe things a get soh sour inna we sweet town

[Verse 1:]
Cause money we want, unu tek man fi clown
We nuh wah fi see nuh depression a stick around
Cause Jah run di world him a spin it around
Look how much time things go bad and him bring it around {eh}
The street is hot, and a depression a do it
Tell mi why Kingston a run like down inna di middle east
Everyday yuh hear seh you have gangster tangle up wid police
Want peace from down a south west fi go back a east

[Chorus:]
Cause is like a poor people it mek fi keep down
Yuh get beat down if yuh nuh keep yuh feet down
Cause it hurt mi deep down, hurt mi deep down
Cyaa believe things a get soh sour inna we sweet town
Cause look how di farmer dem haffi a till di ground
An haffi a duck from gunshot when dem fi go sell a town
Cause it hurt mi deep down, it hurt mi deep down
Cyaa believe things a get soh sour inna we sweet town
