Share the Riches - Culture

Boy, as far as I see life, food nah sweet a one man mouth.

And this thing haffe share.

Otherwise a death!

I want to share the riches with the poor

Before they share the poverty with you

Rich man, share the riches with the poor

Before they share the poverty with you (Tek warning!)

Share the riches with the poor

Before they share the poverty with you

Man, share the riches with the poor

Before they share the poverty with you

First you must remember:

Children got to go to school

Second, you got to know:

We need education

Third, you got to know:

We nuh want to eat and leff

Fourth, you got to know:

The people are no second choice

(Let me let you man)

Share the riches with the poor

Before they share the poverty with you

(Mr. Rich Man)

Share the riches with the poor

Before they share the poverty with you

Share the riches with the poor

Before they share the poverty with you (now)

Share the riches with the poor

Before they share the poverty with you

You got to remember

Tivoli need to be quiet

Concrete Jungle

Brown’s Pen, too

Down in a Dunkirk

They nuh give respect to the poor

How 'bout the people rebel?

And all y’all you start to sell (but mi a warn you)

Share the riches with the poor

Before they share the poverty with you

Share the riches with the poor

Before they share the poverty with you (time too tough)

Share the riches with the poor

Mr Rich Man

The people who are less fortunate boss you a pressure

them for time after time

Ya a hear me man.

First, you must remember:

Prison door wide open

Nine men gone in, and we no want fe ma beaten

(So me a beg you)

Share the riches with the poor

Before we share the poverty with you

Mr. Rich Man

Share the riches with the poor

Before they share the poverty with you

(Come on and)

Share the riches with the poor

Before they share the poverty with you

Share the riches with the poor

For many days I have seen

Desperation walking in arm to arm

Shoulder to shoulder and fighting back the willing man

(So me a beg you boss)

Share the riches with the poor

Before they share the poverty with you

Share the riches with the poor

Before they share the poverty with you
