VERSE 1
Here comes one and two
Suffering and smiling na
for me and you
Nobody cares
See number three and four
Take a look at the poll
What them are push to
the wall
You see them poll
For number five and six
And seven and eight
Them just dey
miscalculate
Instead of make them
relate
Them go sit down dey
debate
On who get the cake
And the people done tire
to dey wait
See them they no wan
stop the fighting
See them, them are biting
and criticizing
Only them are just
dividing
But Jah is providing
For I and I surviving
Them are hating
Some are faking,
accumulating
Debating, money
depreciating
Manipulating to hold us
down
But nobody can stop us
now
CHORUS

Put your hands up
But now it's full of pain oh
Make you stand up now
Everything done change

E done change oh
No mind them

Miscalculating to hold us
