Krio for the People

מילים

[Verse 1] From Freetown to the hills, we dey feel it Rice cost more, but the pocket still empty Mornin' bus full, and the clinic line long But dem say all fine when the radio on Office light bright, but the truth stay dark One hand take bread while the rest no start Mama count coins for a bag of small salt Yet dem build big walls with the people's fault [Pre-Chorus] Tell me who gone hear? Tell me who gone care? When the poor man shout And the big man disappear [Chorus] Corruption no go rule we Corruption no go fool we We dey watch, we dey talk We go stand, we go walk Krio for the people Krio for the people Take back wetin belong to we [Verse 2] See the file change hands from desk to desk One stamp, one smile, then the money get vexed Road get promise, but the road still broke Bridge still bend while the speeches float Child dem learn on bench with a hole in the roof And the envelope pass like a twisted truth You fit lock the gate, but the name still ring When the market women sing, they gon' sing this thing [Pre-Chorus] Tell me who gone hear? Tell me who gone care? When the poor man shout And the big man disappear [Chorus] Corruption no go rule we Corruption no go fool we We dey watch, we dey talk We go stand, we go walk Krio for the people Krio for the people Take back wetin belong to we [Bridge] No be small talk, na survival Every stolen kobo get a face, get a title If you steal from the school, from the farm, from the ward Then the whole town bleed, and the wound stay hard But we still dey rise with the drum and the feet From Waterloo road to the inland street If the table no share, then the fire go show And the people go demand what the people know [Chorus] Corruption no go rule we Corruption no go fool we We dey watch, we dey talk We go stand, we go walk Krio for the people Krio for the people Take back wetin belong to we [Outro] From Freetown to the hills, we dey feel it But the people's voice strong, and the people still live it
