We stuck in the house
I say we stuck in the house
We don't know, we don't know
When we're comin' out
Feeling sorrow, bwoy
I see horror, bwoy
I have something to say
All the children suffering and dey can't wait for tomorrow (tomorrow)
Something dem tellin' me
Dem tellin' me we can't go away
Why we feel so?
We had enough time to get it straight
And we don't trouble nobody
They're tellin' me I can't stay
They're tellin' me, they don't know why I can't come back 'round here
They got my family in trouble
And they got my children, they can't do nothing they want to
They want me do the way dey want to (do the way they want)
And the children asking 'bout tomorrow
All I know is today, today, today
We're suffering, we're suffering
And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know about tomorrow
So, wah yuh doin?
Wah yuh doing to help me out?
Wah yuh doing?
Tell me why we go suffering so?
I don't know 'bout tomorrow
I don't know 'bout tomorrow
My mother tell me
My mother tell me, don't go down there
I tell she mommy, the city it's burnin'
I have to save my people, I can't just stay inside the house
There no way, no way, no way, no way, no way I go lock down, no
I have to free my people (people)
I have to let them go (go)
We have to see a brighter, a brighter tomorrow
'Cause we don't know about tomorrow (no-no, no-no)
We don't know about tomorrow
So, I can't stay lockdown
I can't stay in the house
I don't care how dey feeling
Done wid the beating
Done wid the lynching
Done wid the thiefing
