Lie Songtext
von Alborosie

Yeah, ah, ah yeah
Ah yeah, ah yeah
Ah yeah, ah yeah

I man not surprised
Nuff people dem too lie
Let me tell you why
Not a big surprise
All politician dem too lie
Let me tell you why

Lies we all tell so bad robbers cannot trick me
Parliament a liar so don′t hold it like a mystery
Some a phony preacher and a trouble bare pickney
Sergeant a liar and a talk pon the witness
Foreign lie dem a tell, liar lies are fabricated
Make up their stories like novels, more babies
Changing more regular like lipsticks on ladies
Get under your skin like rabies and scabies


Also entertainers who live on lies on their resume
Buss and buy rounds then supply the community
Darling kid yardie end up like Addie
From Cash and Bacardi to Tower Street

I man not surprised
Nuff people dem too lie
Let me tell you why
Not a big surprise
All politician dem too lie
Let me tell you why

I man not surprised
All entertainers dem too lie
Let me tell you why
Not a big surprise
All police boy him too lie
Let me tell you why


Lies are way more cheaper than the burden of the truth
Photoshop and filters a new fountain of the youth
All who born ugly now they surgically cute
And a lie 'bout the knife never touch them too
Husband lie to wifey, pickney lie to parents
Employers a liar and around the media outlets
Ministers liars, lawyers dem a liars
The judgement cooking pon backfire

I man not surprised
Nuff people dem too lie
Let me tell you why
Not a big surprise
All politician dem too lie
Let me tell you why

I man not surprised
All entertainers dem too lie
Let me tell you why
Not a big surprise
All police boy him too lie
Let me tell you why

Lies we all tell, we all walk inna one shoe
But we no like the one dem weh a influence the youths
Say dem walk in peace and a walk with the troops
Skydivers without a parachute, tell you what
Politician trick we, election not a victory
The truth is hidden in their lies and paralyze the system
Clock is moving tick tick, good wine keep the place lit
The hungry are not coming at your picnic

Not a big surprise
All politician dem too lie
I man not surprised
All entertainers dem too lie
Not a big surprise
All police boy him too lie
Let me tell you why
True
