[Chorus:]

Emergency, we a suffer roun ere

Roun ere, man a ded, tings tougher roun ere

Crime scene gone up, tall up man ah go fa roun ere

Missa man, whe yu doing fi the gutter roun ere? 


[Verse 1:]

Two party, but ah de same sad song dem a play

Poor people money lean back and rockaway

Dem raise everyting from oil to Craven A

So how dem no raise up everybody pay

Portmore mi born and ah de so mi yard stay

So mi nah pay no toll fi cross the Causeway

Mr. Bruce, Mr. PJ

This is just a couple question from Addi the deejay


[Question:] Kingston mek no AK?

[Question:] How gun come inna JA?

Who own the wharf and the airport, the docks and the bay? 


[CHORUS]


[VERSE 2:]

Everyting except ded people ah raise

De dead man ah 'sehe' him betta off inna the grave

How we fi save pon minimum wage

When two yute go high school, two go all age?

Dem change dem face like Nicholas Cage

True election ah come, dem temporary re-arrange

Mi rate Bruce, mi rate PJ

But dem waan we ded off like dog weh have mange

Mi born a sufferer, when it ah go change?

Mi love Portia Simpson, mi love Babsy Grange

But if dem nuh tun a new page

We nah wear no red or no green again

We ah wear beige

Fi de yute dem a de stoplight, mi a beg oonu a change

Oonu dog a live betta dan dem, oonu outrage

Yu know how much innocent yute dem a hundred man inna de cage 


[CHORUS]
