Cry Cry Blood Lyrics

A who the hell do they think I am?
A give me food from dem pot bottom
A give me scrap from their table
I man no desperate or disable

In dis ya land we live where dog eat dog
And some a dem just a gwaan like hog
A simple ting fe mek jump and bark
A gravalicious like a harbour shark

Cry blood, cry, cry blood
Cry blood, cry, cry, blood
For my people, yeah

There's just one thing I can't overstand
What mek we love fe kill we own black man
Me feel so shame, me have run and hide
Me call it self-inflicted genocide

Me step aside and hav fe weep and moan
I feel the pressure right inside my bones
I man back against the wall
Woo, I hold my head and bawl

Cry blood
Cry blood, cry, cry blood
Cry blood, cry, cry blood
For my people, yeah

Nyahbinghi Bobo Shanty I
In a dispute I says I don't know why
Be careful of the flag now
Don't put the lion on its back now

A dis ya plan to divide and rule
In a the end a we the people lose
So many martyrs come fe things right
Oh no I and I won't give the fight

Cry blood
Cry blood, cry, cry blood for my people, yeah
Cry blood, cry, cry blood
Cry blood, cry, cry blood for my people, yeah
For my people, yeah, yeah
My people, people
My people

When we gonna wake up?
Yes, we need a shake up
Let us kiss and make up
Or bare witness to this break up
The whole world's taking advantage
While we stand aside and look
It was prophesied we'd rise again
Just take a second look

A cry, cry blood, yeah
Cry blood, cry blood
For my people, yeah, yeah
My people, people
My people
