Testo Uptown Babies - Max Romeo
Testo della canzone Uptown Babies (Max Romeo), tratta dall'album Best Of
Sees a little lad selling kisco (kisco)
Shouting "kisco pops, kisco pops, kisco pops, kisco pops"
Sees a little lad selling star (star)
Shouting "star, read the news, read the news, read the news"
He is doing it, you see
To help his mummy pay the fee
For little Junior to go to school
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what hungry is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like
They have mommies and daddies
Lots of toys to play with
Nannies and grannies
Lots of friends to stay with
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what hungry is like
They have mommies and daddies
Lots of toys to play with
Nannies and grannies
Lots of friends to stay with
Hear that little baby, she's crying (crying, crying)
Yes, she's crying, crying, crying 'cause she's hungry
You can hear her mama saying (saying, saying)
That it's easy, easy, ain't easy when you're poor
I'm speaking of life in the ghetto
Where survival is the motto
I'm putting it to you: poverty is a sin
Oh, yes, I say
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like
They have mommies and daddies
Lots of toys to play with
Nannies and grannies
Lots of friends to stay with
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what suffering is like
Uptown babies don't cry
They don't know what hungry is like
They have mommies and daddies
Lots of toys to play with
Nannies and grannies
Lots of friends to stay with
