Wants and Needs

WANTS AND NEEDS

INTRO

 Strange things happening

 I guess them want all money and mek it hard fi we live it inna Harmony

 Black-Am-I again, and again, and again, and again, and again

 I know…

CHORUS

 Everything would be alright if it was just wants and needs

 But there’s this selfish desire in men to satisfy greed, O lord

 Most things would be alright if our leaders would lead

 But instead they fuss and fight and more blood bleed

 Watch this…

VERSE

 Not even howdy do the woulda give unnu no see it

 Mother Nature mek it right everybody could’a eat

 Hungry belly Pinckney bawl

 And the cycle a repeat

 Society no care fi our self we hafi do it

 This thing called poverty

 We fi try eliminate

 Babylon switch the focus

 What we do is segregate

 The continent of Africa chiefs and delegate

 United Africa is really the ultimate

 I know…

CHORUS

 Everything would be alright if it was just wants and needs

 But there’s this selfish desire in men to satisfy greed, O lord

 Most things would be alright if our leaders would lead

 But instead they fuss and fight and more blood bleed

 I can see…

VERSE

 Africa emerging

 While the West will dissolve

 Now it’s like a mystery

 Whe’ them can’t seem to solve

 As I write my history

 I need it resolved

 My whole heart is with me 

 I’m deeply involved

 Conscious about it

 Very clear it’s just a sham

 The system canopy Bigger than a lottery scam

 Africa so nice and though you have it pon you Cam

 The footage whe’ you show a fi me hate whe’ me from

 I know… 

CHORUS

 Everything would be alright if it was just wants and needs

 But there’s this selfish desire in men to satisfy greed, O lord

 Most things would be alright if our leaders would lead

 But instead they fuss and fight and more blood bleed

 Watch this…

VERSE

 Them rip and rob from the poor to multiply their gain

 Them still desperate them give dem guns and cocaine

 Them act as if them care a just throughout the campaign

 After that them disappear and gone drink champagne

 Me nah go skin-up cause me know say now a crunch time

 A likkle sup’n hafi spin-up when a brunch time

 Follow me now

 Because a time fi we done crime

 I sing sweet melodies and some serious punch line

CHORUS

 Everything would be alright if it was just wants and needs

 But there’s this selfish desire in men to satisfy greed, O lord

 Most things would be alright if our leaders would lead

 But instead they fuss and fight and more blood bleed

 Woe ye’ ye’

 Everything would be alright if it was just wants and needs

 But there’s this selfish desire in men to satisfy greed, O lord

 Most things would be alright if our leaders would lead

 But instead they fuss and fight and more blood bleed

 Ah ye…

 Black-Am-I again, and again, and again, and again, and again

 It’s I & I again, and again, and again, and again, and again

 Ah ye…

 It’s Black-Am-I again, and again, and again, and again, and again

 Woe... ooe

 It’s I & I again, and again, and again, and again, and again
