Working for a $

Eyo Eyo Eyo Eyo Eyo

Working for a dollar
Selling your soul for a salary
Working for a dollar
The shit don't make no sense to me
Working for a dollar
It's like they wanna steal my energy
Working for a dollar
The Shit dont make no sense to me

Hmmmmmm
Mi say where do I begin?
So much folly in the system
That we living in
No longer picking cotton
Now we work inna dem office
As you get the damn deposit
Like it gone inna di wind
Government ah tax yuh
Pon di likkle weh yuh got
Working hard to pay di rent
From sunrise until it dark
If yuh living on the job
And only sleep inna yuh yard
Tell me, what you really paying for?
Oh Gosh

Things and time must change
Still dem neva listen
when poor man complain
When dem see di crime
and di violence raise
Tell them it's the silent rage

Working for a dollar (yes we are working)
Selling your soul for a salary
Working for a dollar
The shit dont make no sense to me (Working)
Working for a dollar (one dollar)
It's like they wanna steal my energy
Working for a dollar
The Shit dont make no sense to me

Hmmmmmm
Mi say When mi check it out
It's debt and obligation
Keeping them afloat
They trick us with the paper
Bring dem banks and corporations
Making slaves out of the nation
Through we fraid fi rock di boat
Nairobi to Kingston
The story is the same
Ah one plantation
Under different name
The few living lavish
Majority feel the strain
Dem system soon bun up inna flame
Cooyah now!

Huh
Things and time must change
Still dem neva listen
When poor man complain
When dem see di crime
And di violence raise
Tell them it's the silent rage
