Got to be careful, things you say or do
Too much rat never dig good hole
Some ha fe come, some ha fe go
If your heart is willing and your flesh is weak
Now is the time, Jan time you've got to see
If you want to get to heaven
You got to build ahead on the earth
If and when you really want to get to heaven
You got to build ahead on the earth
A lot o' dem a try to reach to the top
But we all got to start from the bottom
I can't stand this rat race
Even a fool would be frustrated
And if you want a better living condition for each and everyone
We got to kill crime, sin, shame and disgrace
Execute hunger and poverty triumphantly
Whoi yoi yoi yoi, whoi yoi yoi yoi
Whoi yoi yoi yoi, whoi yoi yoi yoi
This kind of system keepin' my people driftin'
This kind of system
