 (Cho) {Life is harder for de law abiding citizen} 3x

             Living under all this persecution}

{Cause police and thief, police and thief

 Is there a difference, could you tell me?}2x

We de law abiding citizens

Have so much things to take on

We cyah walk de streets or even work in peace

Criminals killing, kidnapping, raping, robbing we families

When we go to de grocery to buy food

De little money we make cyah even soothe

And de ones who complaining dey could afford

De ones who can't, cyah afford to bawl

Dese politicians have no heart and vision

It hard to believe they breathe air like everyone

Politician and thief, politician and thief

They're one and de same so there's no relief

            So  {cho)

            Talking Talking Talking but nothing being done

 

These radio stations that we have here

Playing de same foreign songs year after year

And there's so so many on every point on de dial

But airplay for so many local artistes are their denial

Dis is injustice for our cultural growth

So many good tunes people just don't know

 

            So (Cho)

            Cause their souls are not exposed to satisfaction

 

The law abiding citizen

Is always alone on the run

Cause we let crappy politics divide us

When none of dese parliament officials enlight us

Struggling to make ends meet

And no nutritional food to eat

Whether for our soul or our body

The law breakers are the ones who are happy

Living means suffering for the law abiding citizen

But are we foolish to just suffer on?
