Testo della canzone Poverty (Cocoa Tea), tratta dall'album Biological Warfare
Hypocritical people unno know
A poverty a cause the war and crime, yeah
A whole heap a the war and crime, Lord
Poverty, that's what causing the crime, now, poverty
Rasta sing say, poverty
Poverty, that's what causing the crime, now, poverty
Bingi man say, hungry, a it a cause the crime, now, hungry
Bingi man say, hungry, a cause a lot of the crime, now, hungry
75 percent of the people dem living in poverty
And the next 25 percent a dem a live inna the luxury
Have you ever wonder why, certain baby mother run lef' a baby
Say she gone to greener pastures, she haffi seek fi find it
It's not easy, living in a tenement yard, no
She and the two youths, and the daddy him run gon' abroad, oh Lord
Poverty, a it a cause the crime, now, poverty
Rasta sing that a poverty
That's what causing the crime, now, poverty
Granny a bawl out, hungry, a it a cause the crime, now, hungry
Mommy sing now hungry, a that a cause the crime, now, hungry
Mister Big Shot deh, weh sit inna the easy chair deh (him alright)
Pretending that the fear deh,?? me say peace appear deh
And let the whole world know you care, yeah
Hey, gi' some a walk inna your shop (factory)
Mek some a dem plough your hard, hey
You done know time is hard
So stop throw the food gi' your dog
Poverty, a it a cause the crime, oh, poverty
Rastaman say, poverty, a it a cause the crime, now, poverty
Me say hungry, a it a cause the crime, oh, hungry
Bingi man say, hungry, a it a cause the crime, now, hungry
75 percent a the people dem living in poverty, hey
And the next 25 percent a dem a live inna the luxury
Inna Jamaica, inna England, France and Germany, hey
Inna America, Africa, Canada, Switzerland, Italy
Beg you give a little to the poor
Yes, dem scatter like sand 'pon sea shore
Rastafari love for I-ver more
That's what I preach when I'm a tour on tour
Poverty, a it a kill the world, oh, poverty
Rastafari, poverty, a it a cause the crime, oh poverty
Me go sing say, hungry, a it a cause the crime, oh hungry
Bingi man shout, hungry, a it a cause the crime, now, hungry
Poverty, whooi poverty
Brethren you see it, sistren you see it, ah
Poverty and hungry
