Robberman Lyrics by Barrington Levy

This Is Crucial Reggae

0

The time is so hard
Oh yes, the time is so hard
The time is so hard
Ey, ey ...

Coming from town, one friday all alone
I was walking on a lonely road
Coming from town, one friday all alone
I was walking on a lonely road

When robber man say them come
Shook me down to the ground
You should hear me started to sing

To robber man: no bother shoot me, sir
To robber man: no bother shoot me, sir
My mama sent me out to buy some mutton

And he says to me:
"Shut up boy, me no want hear nothin
We is a robber weh no eat up mutton
And outta yuh pocket, we ah defend sup'm
Him even steal off Selassie I button, so

To robber man: no bother rob me, sir
To robber man: no bother rob me, sir
To steal from me is bitter to the belly
To steal from me is bitter to the belly
So robber man: no bother rob me, sir

My father, my mother, they so poor
They got a lot of we
To steal from we, Jah will draw away blessings from you
Hey, ey, so...

To robber man: no bother rob me, sir (gwaan)
To robber man: no bother rob me, sir
Him say shut up boy, me no want hear nothin
Me is a robber weh no eat up mutton
And outta yuh pocket we ago rip off sup'm
Him even steal off Selassie I button, so

To robber man: no bother rob me, sir (gwaan)
To robber man: no bother rob me, sir (gwaan)
To robber man: no bother rob me, sir
Don't you rob me
Don't rob me... ey, ey

Why don't you be like Robin Hood
Who steal from the rich and give it to the poor?
Why should you want to come and kick off poor man door?
Ey, so

To robber man: no bother rob me, sir (gwaan)
To robber man: no bother rob me, sir
Him say: hold on boy, we no want hear nothin
We is a robber, weh no chat up, chat up
And outta yuh pocket we ago tek out sup'm
Him even steal off Selassi I button, so

To robber man: no bother rob me, sir
To robber man: no bother rob me
Cause to rob from me is bitter to the belly
But to steal from the rich man is sweet to your soul, so

To robber man: no bother take nothin, sir (gwaan)
To robber man: no bother take nothin, sir
Him say: Ey you boy, better chat up chat up
We is a robber weh no chatty chatty

And outta yuh pocket we ago tek out sup'm
Him even steal off Selassie I button, so
