Inflation

Hunger

for
many
people
door
every
night.
Some
people
dey
live
inside
mansion
so
fine,
While

for
little
sunshine.
Our
leaders
dey

the
cry
of
the
street,
But
sometimes
e
be
like

the
heat.
People

Still

Dem

I

Dem

Dem
want

life,

freedom
from
pain.
Dem
think
say
dem

the
youth,
But
we

our
truth.
No
let
the
sadness

your
story,
Your
tomorrow

dey
full
of
glory.
I
know
say
the
burden
heavy
sometimes,
I

But
wipe
your
tears,
make
