Best Dressed Chicken in Town

0

[Intro]
What the time you have there, dread?
Twelve o' clock, natty (Roots!)
Is a wonder dem no say dread have something fi do with the poison flour, eh?
Why, you know, all the while dem blame-
Every hour of the hour
You hear people bawling for poison flour
[Chorus]
I said, there's a man dat live next door
In my neighborhood (Huh!)
In my neighborhood
He die through poison flour
'Cause, every hour an' di hour
You hear di people, dem a bawl
I said, di people-dem a bawl "Poison flour"
Evеry hour an' di hour
[Verse 1]
Know something, an' I-ya tell a want
Five pound of dumpling a kill off a man (Look at dat)
Old timе people used to say
Cah, "Little dumpling kill a beggar man"
An' old time people used to say
"What sweet nanny goat a go run him belly" (Mi say)
But dem ya belly, never have no time fi run, never have no fun, ya
A just dead, a dead, a dead through the floor
[Chorus]
Hear the pot an' pans, dem fall (Look at dat!)
Bang against the wall, bang against the wall
[Verse 2]
That's what Marcus Garvey had said
He said
"You not gonna know yourself until you're back against the wall"
Now, my bredrin, look at dis
If it's not the ratchet, is the gun
An' if is not the gun, is the bomb
An' if is not the bomb, is poison flour, I would say (Say-say)
[Chorus]
Every hour an' the hour
You hear di people bawl
Dem bawl, dem bawl, dem bawl (Huh!)
Poison flour killing all man
Say, from a say, catch him (Huh-uh, say)
Hear the pot an' pans, dem fall (Look at dat!)
Bang against the wall (Uh-huh!)
Bang against the wall
[Verse 3]
But although I man walk through the valleys of the shadows of earth
I ain't gonna feel no evil, ain't gonna feel no evil, say
For, Jah is with I, is what will ever comfort I (Yeah!)
Should ever comfort I no matter where I go
'Cause I know Zion is I home
An' there's where I wanna go (Say, yeah)
[Outro]
Dem a bawl, an' di people-dem a bawl
