Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Them belly full (But we hungry)

A hungry mob is a angry mob

A rain a-fall but the dirt, it tough

A pot a-cook but the food, no 'nough

[Verse 2]

We're gonna dance to Jah music, dance

We're gonna dance to Jah music, dance

[Verse 3]

Forget your sorrows and dance

Forget your trouble and dance

Forget your sickness and dance

Forget you weakness

[Verse 4]

I'm sayin', cost of livin' get so high

Rich and poor, they start to cry

Now the weak must get strong

They saying' (Oh, what a tribulation)

[Verse 5]

Them belly full (But we hungry)

A hungry mob (Angry mob)

A rain a-fall (Dirt, it tough)

A pot a-cook (Food, no 'nough)

We're gonna chuck to Jah music (Chuckin')

Lord, don't you knew we're, no, no, no (Chuckin')
