Hungry Daze

Now this, one a live it to my bredrin Leo

Hey

Spentown livin' was hard and hungry
White squall have me a water pumpy
Cornmeal married to me chicken chassis
Lost half a girl in a fur loochie
Well want a work but no vacancy
Run go flour mill and cement factory
Worm inna me belly singing here at the day
Sell off a cow tail out of Peri

Lord-a, do you remember dem hungry days?
Hey
Woah-ya, me and me chalice and me yard a blaze
Lord-a, do you remember dem hungry days?
My God
Woah-ya, me and me chalice and me yard a blaze
Hey

Take off me shirt, wash it, put it on back
Watch and me Ray-Bora, honeybee frack
Dreadlocks, Jah might bubble the ital pack
All of a sudden cousin, wa-da, wa-da, bang, wa-da
Man jump the fence, man on me housetop
Fish gun buckle, bum and hollow one pop
God only know why the fool dem a talk
Skin a my teeth, yeah me live through that

Lord-a, do you remember dem hungry days?
Hey
Woah-ya, me and me chalice and me yard a blaze

Hey

Don't make my casket yet Mr. Morgan
Hold on, no drive no nail, I'm a busy man
Don't look for me at police station
God bless me more than the Queen of England
We walk around in a colour like these
Gone pon a mission inna five pound trees
This ain't living, only fulfill the need
Out of many, only one and few live

Lord-a, do you remember dem hungry days?
My God
Woah-ya, me and me chalice and me yard a blaze
Lord-a, do you remember dem hungry days?
Woah-ya, me and me chalice and me yard a blaze
Hey

Those were the days that we thought that they never would end
And we could not afford Aunt Jemima much less Uncle Ben
We could not afford it to borrow and nothing to lend
But if I have to live dem again, I will live dem again

Lord-a, do you remember dem hungry days?
Hey
Woah-ya, me and me chalice and me yard a blaze
Lord-a, do you remember dem hungry days?
My God
Woah-ya, me and me chalice and me yard a blaze
