“Say Heads of Government a You Me a talk to
The Youth dem in the street want something fi do
Dem belly hungry and dem bills dem overdue

Some leave college, with dem degree
But dem can’t get no job to feed dem family
Please Heads of Government do something for we
And the poorer class people show some mercy.
The Richer get rich, and poorer suffer
Homeless People eat from the gutter
Dem can’t buy the bread, much less the butter
Poor people life a get tuff and ruffah.”
