Lyrics
Now this one
Is a musical message
From none other than
The one called Mosiah
And Teacha Dee
Blaze the fire
Meck them know say them cyaa fool we breada
Mosiah they can't fool us no way
Work and we toil inna Babylon (Working)
Blood a run sweat and tears inna Babylon
Still we can't see what we've been working
For now (Every day)
Gather ends and a dodge through them system
Haffi wise or you going be a victim
Economic Slaves slave masters always searching
For
Babylon yuh system nah work
Job them nah pay
Work a nine to five still from your pay i can't survive
Mi see yuh system nah work
Job them nah pay
Keep working and Babylon keep wanting more
Yuh system nah work
Job them nah pay
Work a nine to five still from your pay i can't survive
Mi say yuh system nah work
Job them nah pay
Keep working and Babylon keep wanting more
Work an' a work 'till yuh drop dung dead
That's Babylon intention (Fi real)
Why you think them rise the age of pension
And them nuh pay tax none a them inno
Age a 88 and still a run again inno
While inflation raise (Everywhere)
They don't want to pay a decent wage (Lawd)
And not the country is enraged
The people know now say them a fraud
Babylon yuh system nah work
Job them nah pay
Work a nine to five still from your pay i can't survive
Mi see yuh system nah work
Job them nah pay
Keep working and Babylon keep wanting more
Yuh system nah work
Job them nah pay
Work a nine to five still from your pay i can't survive
Mi say yuh system nah work
Job them nah pay
Keep working and Babylon keep wanting more
Coulda never ever hold us down (No)
Heart fill with hope and cheerful song
Self sufficiency a that we a pree
Bu'n out economic slavery
Free we
It may be long but it's not for ever
Babylon you're not too clever (No no no)
We will make it out of the stress one day (One day)
The Most High will show us the way
Yuh system nah work
Job them nah pay
Work a nine to five still from your pay i can't survive
Mi see yuh system nah work
Job them nah pay
Keep working and Babylon keep wanting more
Yuh system nah work
Job them nah pay
Work a nine to five still from your pay i can't survive
Mi say yuh system nah work
Job them nah pay
Keep working and Babylon keep wanting more
(Inna Babylon red)
Exploitation of a nation (Red red)
Red red red red
Run them we fire bu'n them
(No pay now)
How man fi work
How man fi work without pay (Wha do them)
A just pure sufferation inno (Man toil all day)
Toil and toil and toil (Man toil all day)
No benefits (Nan na na na)
Jah know star (Nan na na na)
Nan na na na
Nan na na na
Nan na na na yeah
