(When we gonna wake up?)

Who the hell do they think I am?
Give me food from dem pot bottom
Ah give me scrap from them table
I man no desperate or disable

In dis ya land we live where dog eat dog
Ah so di whole ah dem ah gwan like hog
Ah simple ting fi mek we jump and bark
Ah gravalicious like ah harbour shark

Ay, ay

There's just one thing I don't overstand
What mek we love fi kill we own black man?
Me seh me shame, me haffi run and hide
I call it self-inflicted genocide

We step aside and haffi weep and moan
The pressure building up inside my bones
I man back against the wall
Woo, I hold my head and bawl

Cry blood (cry blood)

Nyahbinghi Bobo Shanty I
In a dispute I says don't know why
Be careful of the flag now
Don't put the lion on its back now

Ah dis 'ya plan is to divide and rule
Inna the end ah we the people lose
So many martyrs try to put things right
But no I and I won't give up the fight

When we gonna wake up?
Yes we need a shake up (shake up, shake up)
Let us kiss and make up
Or bare witness to this break up (break up)
The whole world's taking advantage 
While we stand aside and look
It was prophesied we'd rise again
Just take a second look

Ah cry, cry blood yeah
Cry blood, cry blood
(Cry blood)
Cry blood (cry blood)
Ah cry, cry blood yeah (cry)
For my people people, yeah-ay (cry)
