Tell Them Songtext
von Eek‐A‐Mouse

Hey

Down in the ghetto is where I go
Pain and tribulation all I know
Mommy and daddy, all a we a look poor
Wha′ make we a suffer so? (Hey)
Storm it come and it blow down mi door
Rain a pour through mi one window
Food tear up, mi toast food short
Jah know, hey, brother more (Hey)
Mama tell me no fi brag no so
Hail police fi fi make mi pass through
She say, "Lord, daughter don't call no whore"
Just take that sufferation so
Jah know (Hey)


Hey, tell dem
Hey, tell dem and go for it
Send dem a medz (Hey)
Tell dem
Hey, tell dem
Send, send for goin′
Send, send dem a medz (Hey)

Whole heap of youth, dem a turn to crime
Jah Jah know that dem can't take the time
Come get one fifty pon the borderline
And a pray, keep inside (Hey)
Hey, hey
Where do dem?
Where do dem? (Hey)
Hey, where do dem?
Where do dem? (Hey)
Down in the ghetto is where I go
Pain and tribulation all I know
Mommy and daddy, all a we a look poor
Wha' make we a suffer so? (Hey)
Storm it come, blow down mi door
Rain a pour through we one window
Five on the bed, four on the floor
Where we a go, do we no know (Hey)


Ooh, hey, hey
Hey, tell dem
Hey, tell dem
Hey, hey
Where we a go do? (Hey, tell dem)
Hey, tell dem (Hey)

Seems like whole heap of excitement
Lots of people, they juggle around
Girl a lean in front of the M
Coffin, I xile under ground (Hey)
Hey, Jah know, I′m in the ghetto (Hey)
Five on the bed (Hey)
Four on the floor (Hey)
Where we a go do, we no know
Where we a go do? (Hey)
Hey, tell dem, we no know
Hey, we no know
