Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Them want I, Them want I
Become a them funeral
Them claim say, them claim say
Them are the general
[Verse 2]
And them want I, them want I
Com'a them funeral
Them claim say, them claim say
Them are the general
[Verse 3]
What a big disgrace
Way you rob up the place
Rob everything you can find
Yes, you did and you'll even rob the blind
[Verse 4]
You must see want I if com'a, com'a funeral
And I no go, no one burial
Yet you want I, com'a, com'a funeral
Make you friend come claim say, "you are the geni?"
[Verse 5]
Now we know the truth, yes, we do
I find you wearing the boot
Of taking peoples' business on your head, yeah
So might as well you be dead
[Verse 6]
Them want I, them want I
Com'a them funeral
Them claim say, them claim say
Them are the general
[Verse 7]
Them want I, them want I
Com'a them funeral
And them claim say, them claim say
Them are the general
[Verse 8]
Let the dead bury the dead now
And who is to be fed, be fed
I ain't got no time to waste on you, no, no
I am a livin' man, I've got work to do, right now
[Verse 9]
This man and that man
Yes, they are the same man
You taught us this just as well
That the rich man heaven is the poor man's hell
[Verse 10]
You must see want I if Com'a, com'a funeral
Natty, no go, no one burial
Yet you want I, com'a, com'a funeral
Make your friend come, claim, say, "You are the geni?"
[Verse 11]
Them want I, them want I
Com'a them funeral
