Cause everyday inna mi ears
Di hear gunshot a blaze

but dem nah go change dem ways

wat true hunger is
when you tripe a twist
feelin like you mashin up your health
well I really feel this country

but it hard
Fi hear you pickney a bawl seh him hungry
So in which party deh inna di world at all
Man a cough it because it’s really tough fi tough it
For the people

Well I see children having children
And children having big men
Having big man sleep with dem
And a veiw dem like theyre women
And that you really givin dem
Father god nah go figive dem
Is what that you puttin in dem

Mi see crack head and coke head
A knock head
Pon coke bed
And how some juvenile dem a live you know dey must dead
A rasta turn in pork head
Me see Christian dem a hold hand
And going to church on Sunday
But fi the rest of the week dem nuh know him
Me see people think it evil and a wuk Obeah hard
A spray dem obeah oil
And a powder people yard
And man a murda granny down to the pickney and di dog
No one cyaan save us now
Is just the mercy of the lord
(chorus)
For the people (crying for the people)
I’m crying for the people
Can someone give me a reason
Why this world is full of so much evil
Crying for the people(crying for the people)
Crying for the people
I know I’ve gotta be vehicle
And start preach love
