Now dis one ya livicated to my bretheren Leo
Rest in peace while we gwaan keep the peace ya know

Spain Town living was hard and angry
White squall have me unda water  pumpy
Cornmeal married to my chicken chassis
Lust after girl in a Ferluchi
Well want to work but no vacancy
Run to flour mill and cement factory
Worm in my belly singing nearer to thee
Sell off a cow tail outta Ferry

Lorda do you remember them hungry daze
Woya me and ma chalice in me yard a blaze
Lorda do you remember them hungry daze
Woda me and ma chalice in me yard a blaze

He take off mi shirt wash it put it on back
Watch Anne-Marie  borrow Honey Bee frock
Dread locks Jah Mike bubble the ital pot
All of a sudden cousin.. what dat wha dat wha dat
Man jump da fence man on mi house top  
Fish gun bottle-bomb and all a one pop
God only know why the fool them attack
By the skin of my teeth we live tru dat

Dont make my casket yet Mr. Morgan
Hold on dont drive no nail Im a busy man
Dont look for me at police station 
God bless me more than the Queen of England
We walk around in colors like these
Gone on a mission in a 5 pound cheese
This aint livin only fulfill the need
Out of man only one and few leave

Hey those were the days and we thought that they never would end
And we could not afford Aunt Jemima much less Uncle Ben
We could not afford to borrow and nothing to lend
But if I had to live them again I would live them again
