Me Cyaan Take


​Twenty dollar cigar - Cuban tobacco
Sip ya Jamaican rum! Share holder, gringo
Di stock market weh di money jus a flow
Whola dem tan in it from top to di toe
Neva eva seen machete, neva seen hoe
Neva brought a basket pushin fifty kilo
Full a ripe banana with sweet mango
Neva slept pon di floor inna yuh bush bungalloo
Full up a blood sucka mosquito
Everyday nyam di same potato
Gu dung di market fi sell kallalloo
Ca di money wah dem pay nuh nuff fi pass chu
But di craven dog Wall Street mafioso
Nah go share nuttn from di endless zeroes
So weh yuh a go do, weh yuh knee haffi bow
Weh di Destiny point him finga pon yo

Some a dem leave Trinidad Tobago
Some a dem from Brasil or Puerto Rico
Gone a United States from North Mexico
From Kingston JA gone a Toronto
Mos a dem negro or latino
None a dem wanna be a parrow
Underpayed people nuh waan fi stay low
Inna di business a di coffee and di cocoa

Me cyaan take, how dem abuse di people
But me cyaan take, how dem abuse di people
But me cyaan take, how dem abuse di people
But me cyaan take, how dem abuse di people
Well then...

Tek di las kiss from di gyal who luv yo
Tek di advices from yuh big bro
Him tell ya how dem a go su su pon yo
How yuh a go get blow after blow
Welcome on board ruffneck beenie chico
It a different kinda flight, still dunno weh ya go
Won’t yuh think twice, calculate ratio
A di betta type a livin ya seen inna night show
Welcome abroad weh di people dem get caught
Ya think ya arrived at di beginning a di route
Weh inna di terminal di police come up and spot
Yuh fear dat yuh dun sup ́m wrong and dem know dat
Suppose dem know one time ya smoke’ a likkle pot
Weh di dog dem get closa, place a run hot
Try fi get away fi find a likkle spot
Then start fi breeze weh ya ’ear di dwag bark

Seems fi betta rush, but dem still pon ya back
Warning a di first but yo ’ear a gunshot
Yuh realize that yuh shoulda get dung flat
Then ya thin neck feels di breath a di dwag
Dem tek yuh certificate, but dem right
Dem mus let yo free, but dem have yuh in sight
If jus a likkle ting nuh gwaan so, dem lock yuh up
Dem differentation jus cold I up

Waan prove to dem, so ya work hard
Weh ya face dem stereotype it’s so fraught
Babylon system is jus a fraud
What a fuckery, mi seh what a blood claat!!!

Me cyaan take...
But me cyaan take, how dem abuse di people
But me cyaan take, how dem abuse di people
But me cyaan take, how dem abuse di people
Well then...
