Hush Baby Hush
M. Myrie/C. Dod
It is real, as real as it see
Don't you live on illusio
And don't you ever try to live a drea
I sing..
Choru
Buju say how could you rise up every living da
Telling yourself everything is O
When you look at life you'll see it slipping awa
Lord knows who feels it every moment every da
Those why cry for the poor get neglected, rejected, put to deat
How much more will we take
Did you father work off his shirt, blood, sweat and tear
Don't tell me that you forgo
Being oppressed by the oppressors, all different types of stres
For the sorrows of the poor, they don't even care les
Refuse to deal with world atrocities, civil unres
Instead they're building penitentiaries as big as a bird's nes
Saying we are to be blamed for whatever what mes
Choru
Some say, how are you going? They want to know if we are min
Not until we reposess what's rightfully min
Sitting down for so long we do belive it is tim
Everyone is entitled to food at mealtim
'Til then, we'll struggle for rights, no more racial fight
Degradation to the highest height
All obstacles as a people we have to cros
With health and strength we all can get acros
Happenings of yesterday are just a thing of the pas
Choru
Don't you cry little one, wipe your tears, sing my son
Though we're in a strange land with evil one
Help the weak if you're strong, iron sharpens iro
When you're down take a look at where the help is coming fro
What about the masterminds with the foolproof plan
What about the geniuses who achieve grade on
Choru
Repeat verse 1 and verse 2
