Poor Jah People

J. Hill

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

[Verse 1]
Jah people walk through the valley of the shadow of life
All through the agony of Babylon, we fear no evil
Poor Jah people

[Verse 2]
We have been hit, stoned and refused
Kicked out on the street so many-many times
Poor Jah people

[Verse 3]
Jah is not satisfied with what is going on
He need to see some more equal rights and justice turn up
Poor Jah people

[Verse 4]
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)

[Verse 5]
For Jah know it all
Jah seal it, and hold, and control it
Poor Jah people

[Verse 6]
Equal rights and justice stand for all
But some take it aside away and slowly crawl
Poor, brr, Jah people

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 7]
Jah is not satisfied with what is going on
He need to see some more equal rights and justice turn up
Poor Jah people

[Verse 8]
We have been used, stoned and refused
Kicked out on the street for so many, many times
Poor Jah people

[Verse 9]
Some have got a bag full in their hands
And while you see some, dem mouth wide from hungry
Poor Jah people

[Verse 10]
But it will be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth
Who nah no teeth, dem gum a go feel it
Poor Jah people

[Verse 11]
Who know they are doing wrong
Just translate it and put in write
Poor Jah people

[Verse 12]
I man a obey these words, I say
For before one of these word pass away, Zion and earth pass
Poor Jah people

[Verse 13]
From a long time ago we have been working on the plantation
With nothing at all to give, remember
Poor Jah people

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 14]
But all I know whatever you're doing for poor Jah people
Do it good and positive, I say
Poor Jah people (Oh Jah)

[Verse 15]
Jah never yet been asleep or slumber
Jah count in all your deeds and days by number
Poor, poor Jah people

[Verse 16]
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)

[Verse 17]
I'm fatigued, he put in my mind
Living like this can't be good at all
Poor Jah people

[Verse 18]
Some on the street drinking dirty water
Some eating out of garbage pan, I say
Poor Jah People (Lord Jah Rastafari)

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