Culture - Poor Jah People lyrics

Woah oy, ah ay
Equal right and justice we want to see it
(Woah oy)

Jah people walk through the valley
Of the shadow of life
All through the agony of Babylon
We fear no evil poor Jah people

We have been hit, stoned and refused
Kicked out on the street so many many times
Poor Jah people

Jah is not satisfied with what is going on
He need to see some more equal
Rights and justice turn up poor Jah people

We have never been given a
Chance even one time
To try and control our own little lives
Poor Jah people (Woah oy, woah-oy)

For Jah know it all
Jah seal it, and hold, and control it
Poor Jah people

Equal rights and justice stand for all
But some take it aside away and slowly crawl
Poor, brr, Jah people

Qedamawi Qedamawi I I, Selassie
Mahamlai, Ras Qatari I the heads of all gods
The King of King and Lords of Lords
Poor, poor Jah People

Jah is not satisfied with what is going on
He need to see some more equal
Rights and justice turn up poor Jah people

We have been used, stoned and refused
Kicked out on the street for so many
Many times poor Jah people

Some have got a bag full in their hands
And while you see some
Dem mouth wide from hungry poor Jah people

But it will be weeping
Wailing and gnashing of teeth
Who nah no teeth, dem gum a go feel it
Poor Jah people

Who know they are doing wrong
Just translate it and put in write
Poor Jah people

I man a obey these words, I say
For before one of these word pass away
Zion and earth pass poor Jah people

From a long time ago we have
Been working on the plantation
With nothing at all to give, remember
Poor Jah people

It is full time now for us to have
There should be there more no more
Have not I say
Poor Jah people, poor Jah people
Oh Jah, oh Jah Rastafari
I just can't express in words, I say
Poor Jah people

But all I know whatever you're
Doing for poor Jah people
Do it good and positive, I say
Poor Jah people (Oh Jah)

Jah never yet been asleep or slumber
Jah count in all your deeds
And days by number poor, poor Jah people

Be careful what you do and say
The prayers of the poor reach
To the ears of Jah his Imperial Majesty I
Poor Jah people (Rastafari)

I'm fatigued, he put in my mind
Living like this can't be good at all
Poor Jah people

Some on the street drinking dirty water
Some eating out of garbage pan, I say
Poor Jah People (Lord Jah Rastafari)

Only Jah I can tell all my problems
Because I'm really my brother's keeper
Poor Jah people
