Verse 1
How do yuh feel when yuh have yuh meal
and the people outta street canât find food fi eat?
It nuh pretty inna di city, what a pity
Things tricky get sticky cause di place under heat.
How yuh fi send out frustrated police
fi go try keep the peace
when di violence increase?
A hungry man is an angry man
me did a tell dem inna mi song from nineteen how-long
The people dem fed-up for dem nuh have no food fi eat.
Right now a desperation meck so much corn a beat.
The only way to bring back Jamaica
Is to put some more food pon dem plate yah
Chorus
