Testo Half Idiot - Marcia Griffiths feat. Cutty Ranks
Testo della canzone Half Idiot (Marcia Griffiths feat. Cutty Ranks), tratta dall'album Reggae Anthology: Cutty Ranks - Limb By Limb (Edited Version)
So unuh no waan open up unuh eye
So unuh waan mi open up di food up
And notice, dem seh di one true to Caesar give to Caesar
But what Caesar doing for me and you? Nothing, eh
I was drawn into myself (Myself)
Observing all this time
From every angle that I see
My people, you needin' help (Massa dem a feelin')
Brothers have turned to crime
So they die from time to time (Dem nuh stop die)
We'd like to ask you leaders
What have you got in mind?
The people dem a fool, and dem a affiliate
Dem nuh see di food prices waan boycott
Dem a fool, and dem a affiliate
Dem no waan fi dem a straight a mek di food price drop
Dem a fool, and dem a affiliate
Some of dem a poor, suffer gwan like dem a big shot
Dem a fool, and dem a affiliate
Tell all di big bwoy seh dem better turn back 'cause
Fire, fire, fi-fi-fire, fire, fire, fire burning
Another thing I saw in vision
Right in front these eyes (My eyes)
Sisters prostituting
Selling away their lives (Nothing nah gwan fi dem)
They get very little pay
The ones who clean the mess (Hundred dollar)
Minority who sits on top
Rates themselves the best (Eeh)
But I see the fire spreading
It's getting hotter and hot (Red hot)
The haves will wanna be
In the shoes of the have-nots (Dem a turn back, yea)
If the sign is on your door
Then you will be safe for sure
But if you are in pretend
You're on the wrong side of the fence
Mi seh di youth dem nowadays a dead fi hungry
Dem cyaan find a job, Lord, fi earn no money
Dem cyaan buy no food fi mind dem pickney
But listen Cutty Rank a fling down reality
Dem mussi fool, dem mussi affiliate
Dem nuh see di food prices waan boycott
Dem mussi fool, dem mussi affiliate
Di people want di man straight a mek di food price drop
Dem mussi fool, dem mussi affiliate
Tell all di politician dem better turn back
Reality, yes, mi a fling down reality
Follow mi nuh mussi went through
Reality, yes, mi a fling down reality
Di youth dem a dead fi hungry
When mi come, seh yuh know mi welcome
When mi come, a mi yah, massa yah come, cho
When mi come, seh yuh know mi welcome
Yuh know seh Cutty Rank him just a blossom
Said another thing I saw in vision
Right in front these eyes (Front my eyes)
Sisters prostituting
Selling away their lives (Because dem nah earn nothin')
They get very little pay
The ones who cleans the mess (Hundred dollar)
Minority who sits on top
Just rates themselves the best
But I see the fire spreading
It's getting hotter and hot (Red hot)
The haves will wanna be
In the shoes of the have-nots (Selassie I)
If the sign is on your door
Then you will be safe for sure (Eeh)
But if you are in pretend
You're on the wrong side of the fence
