Yellowman – Crying Time Lyrics

Reggae

Well, this one goes out to all the black South Africans
Coming from King Yellowman
And I want you to understand me, man
You know?

A Jah me fear
Rasta Rastafari, a Jah me fear
Rasta Rastafari, a Jah me fear

Said, a miss my rass 'bout you, I don't care
Because a you mi people-dem a suffer on here
But the youth-dem trousers bottom it tear
Children in a Africa can't even pick a pear
The white South African fuck up in a chair

Eat fi we food and a drink fi dem beer
Government America act like they care
But we black people the same everywhere
Oppression we go through, you can't compare

Reagan and Maggie love talk on the air
But bad television man, dem me no spare
Maggie and Jezebel, Reagan talk like queer
Him favor Duncan, she favor Mayor
A one underwear Maggie Thatcher love wear
Reagan act like he young, but him have grey hair

Rasta Rastafari, a Jah me fear (A weh mi say?)

Now it's crying time again in a Ethiopia
I can see it far away in their eyes
Everywhere you go, you know black people a suffer
In America and also in a Jamaica
Pain, man, pain, pain (Huh, huh)

A Jah me fear
Rasta Rastafari, a Jah me fear
Rasta Rastafari, a Jah me fear

Said, a miss my rass 'bout you, I don't care
Because a you mi people-dem a suffer on here
But the youth-dem trousers bottom it tear
And children in a Africa can't even pick a pear
The white South African fuck up in a chair

A eat fi we food and a drink fi dem beer
Government America act like they care
But you black people the same everywhere
Oppression we go through, you can't compare
Reagan and Maggie love talk on the air
But bad television man, dem me no spare
Maggie and Jezebel, Reagan talk like queer
Him favor Duncan, she favor Mayor
A one underwear Maggie Thatcher love wear
Reagan act like he young, but him have grey hair (Listen, gwan)

I want everybody to understand
Say, a no Maggie Thatcher, also neither Reagan
Dem a gwan like dem know 'bout sufferation
Yet dem use the money make nuclear weapon
Tell you, Yellowman come fi sing this song
Now it's crying time again in a Ethiopia
I can see it far away in their eyes
Everywhere we go, you hear black people a suffer
In a this world we know the battle will utter (Listen)

A Jah me fear
Rasta Rastafari, a Jah me fear
Rasta Rastafari, a Jah me fear

Said, a miss my rass 'bout you, I don't care
Because a you mi people-dem a suffer on here

The youth-dem trousers bottom it tear
And children in a Africa can't even pick a pear
The white South African fuck up in a chair

A eat fi we food and a drink fi dem beer
Government America act like they care
But we black people the same everywhere
Oppression we go through, you can't compare
Reagan and Maggie love talk on the air
But bad television man, dem me no spare
Maggie and Jezebel, Reagan talk like queer
Him favor Duncan, she favor Mayor

A one underwear Maggie Thatcher love wear (A weh mi say?)

Whether Ethiopia nor black American
I want you fi listen the King Yellowman
Dis are no Jesse Jackson or neither Reagan
But tell you, Yellowman are no politician
But hear how mi feel, mi have fi sing this song
Crying time again in a Ethiopia
