Lyrics

I took a little walk the other day
In a we shanty town
The same cycle of unbearable downpression
And then a poverty pouring down like a rain, oh gosh
Sufferation
Striking like a lightning

For the masses of the people
I man would a shout it out
Every day them watch the sun a rising
Every day them watch the sun a dawning in
I wish I was a man of miracles
To make this world a bit more wonderful
For the beggars on the streets, oh Lord
I fall on my knees and I pray

Take a little look around and you will see
Check the next one or watch the other one (I yaga yaga)
A little bit of this and a little bit of that
Just to keep on their feet
The preacher man are rich, the politics they speak
Nothing cools down the heat
I yaga yaga

For the masses of the people
I man would a shout it out
The winter was still, the summer is here
I'm still waiting man
I wish I was a man of miracles
To make this world a bit colourful
For the beggars on the streets
I bore down my hurt and I cried

I wish you well, I wish you well
Hmm, they wish them well, you wish them well
I daba daba
I daba daba

Ya man, the reality, you wanted to know
It's like everything stands still

I took a little walk the other day in a we shanty town
The same cycle of unbearable downpression
And then the poverty pouring down like a rain, oh gosh
Sufferation
Striking like a lightning

For the masses of the people
I man would a shout it out
Every day you dem watch the sun arising
Every day you dem watch the same sun of dawn

I daba daba
I daba daba
