Testo Can't Breathe - Kabaka Pyramid
Testo della canzone Can't Breathe (Kabaka Pyramid), tratta dall'album Kontraband
Oh, kid, come on
Dem system is a strain and a mess
Me feel it like a pain inna me chest
The people need a rest
I feel like me can't breathe
Inna this yah suffocation
The people living inna sufferation
Me can't breathe, me can't breathe
When the youths can't write and can't read
Many can't spell, but a that dem have we under
You can't tell the man different from woman yah
The people dem a swell, the food a gi' we cancer
Look how long we a tell dem 'bout the benefits a ganja
Dem no like the smell, so we no get no sponsor
Rum and cigarette company dem running rampant
No money nah flow, the ghetto get so stagnant
You haffi strong like Junior Gong flagman
Me say me can't breathe
Inna this yah suffocation
The people living inna sufferation
Me can't breathe, me feel claustrophobic
Up inna system weh no economic growth is
Me say me can't breathe
Inna this yah suffocation
The people living inna sufferation
Me can't breathe, me can't breathe
When the youths can't write and can't read
Inna the depths of this mental pollution
Dem waan we tek a dive, living in destitution
But still we a survive, in spite a persecution
We humble as child, becah this revolution
Is of a different kind, we have a different mind
I pree some different sings living inna different time
I can feel the frequencies changing around me (I can feel it)
Is like the society a drown me
Me say me can't breathe
Inna this yah suffocation
The people living inna sufferation
Me can't breathe, me feel claustrophobic
Up inna system weh no economic growth is
Me say me can't breathe
Inna this yah suffocation
The people living inna sufferation
Me can't breathe, me can't breathe
When the youths can't write and can't read, aye
A long time the Rastaman a warn dem
Fi lowe the bloody meat and go tek it to the farm dem
Now a just disease dem a put inna the corn
And the damn soya bean, you must start farm
And the youth dem a the future, yet the police a remand dem
Tell Queen Elizabeth gi' we wha' we demand
A repatriation chant, to the motherland
Yes, we gone, then we no waan resort fi go harm dem
We can't breathe
Inna this yah suffocation
The people living inna sufferation
Me can't breathe, me feel claustrophobic
Up inna system weh no economic growth is
Me say me can't breathe
Inna this yah suffocation
The people living inna sufferation
Me can't breathe, me can't breathe
When the youths can't write and can't read
Whoa, now, now, now
Schi-bi-li-bang
The Rastaman is chanting now
Aye! The nyabinghi haffi sound
Babylon is burning down, yeah
A king Selassie I a wear the crown
Whoa now, now, now
Feel like me can't breathe
Inna this yah suffocation
The people living inna sufferation
Me can't breathe, me feel claustrophobic
Up inna system weh no economic growth is
Me say me can't breathe
Inna this yah suffocation
The people living inna sufferation
Me can't breathe, me can't breathe
When the youths can't write and can't read
