di truth is ano dat we waan we children dem fi learn

a das why a di woman labour inna child birth
mi nuh waan fi see mi bredda dress up inna no skirt
and mi sista nuh fi mek natasha lift up har skirt

Leviticus 18 is a blessing not a curse
lighting and thunder boun fi mek di cloud burst a jus the water from the sugar cane can quench nanny thirst
to whom it may concern
ano dat deh way we waan the tables fi turn
as a citizen wi got alot of concern
di truth is ano dat we waan we children dem fi learn
