(verse 1)

Cause everyday inna mi ears

Di hear gunshot a blaze

but dem nah go change dem ways

when there's no one dere to help

wat true hunger is

when you tripe a twist

Fi hear you pickney a bawl seh him hungry

So in which party deh inna di world at all

Man a cough it because it's really tough fi tough it

For the people

(verse 2)

Well I see children having children

And children having big men

Having big man sleep with dem

And a veiw dem like theyre women

And that you really givin dem

Father god nah go figive dem

Is what that you puttin in dem

It too early to begin dem

Mi see crack head and coke head

A knock head

Pon coke bed

And how some juvenile dem a live you know dey must dead

A rasta turn in pork head

Me see Christian dem a hold hand

And going to church on Sunday

But fi the rest of the week dem nuh know him

Me see people think it evil and a wuk Obeah hard

A spray dem obeah oil

And a powder people yard

And man a murda granny down to the pickney and di dog

No one cyaan save us now

Is just the mercy of the lord



(chorus)

For the people (crying for the people)

I'm crying for the people

Can someone give me a reason

Why this world is full of so much evil

Crying for the people(crying for the people)

Crying for the people

I know I've gotta be vehicle

And start preach love
