Lyrics

LIVING IN SHACKS

Sta-bam-stam-stam Sta-dam-zam Chorus:
Poor people Living inna Shacks, shacks, shacks
Rich a live inna Heart attacks. -Rep.

(1)
I ain't Playing your game
Too much people in pain
I ain't Playing your game
I think you're insane

Chorus: Rep.

(2)
I don't wanna live
In exile
Don't wanna be
Called by a number
People
On mimic Island
Dem kinna
Living in slumber.
While…

Chorus: Rep.

(3)
From slavery
To jail house
From poverty
To alms house
From survival
To dark house
From brain-washed
To church-mouse.
An'…

Chorus: Rep.

Bridge:

How
Do you feel
When from the poor
Yu steal?
How


You dignity
Searching for
Identity
Caught
In riches
And poverty.

Chorus: Rep.
