Dem say, every ship must have a anchor
An' every christian must have a answer
I want you listen to me as a roots dawta
Seen? (Hey)

[Chorus]
Livin' on free food tickets
Say, what did it milk from the hole in the roof?
A let di rain come through
Say, what can you do? (Tell me)
Jah, mi say, tears from our little sister
Deh she cry 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
A man, a party to go
A what do you know?
How could we get by?

[Verse 2]

Said dat, mi tired of di dam rap racing
And I've had it with di constant competing
Of people's greed and hate for achieving
Not to mention di muggin' an' di killin'
Of di poor, di black an' di children
If a parents dem have in a di prison
Tryin' to make dem guilty of treason

[Chorus]
