Empty Promises

(album: Legend - 2022)

Why is it dat di system mek some decisions
When no benefit di people
It only show selfishness, and deceit
What about di less fortunate
What about those Who have no helping hand
Patriotz

System nuh care for di poor and me see it
Yeah mi see di strong Dem a prey pon di weak
How could I turn di other cheek when people still
Cyaan find food fi eat
Government nuh care Fi see people a lose
But have you ever think Stepping inna dem shoes
Imagine cyaan provide Nuttin fi yuh youte
These days start show wi di truth

Ano like seh mi waan Depend pon nobody
Mi try look a work But there's none for mi
Mi nuh grow wid a rich Mommy or Daddy
And mi have mi own family weh a depend pon mi
Depression start a pick mi mentally
Sometime mi feel Fi hurt himself physically
Of thoughts of killing Thoughts of robbery
But mi no waan do dat A end of story
Cuh mi have more fi lose than fi gain
What about mi son Weh carry mi last name
And if mi nuh dead fi di world change
Dat means seh mi a dead in vain
Cuh dis is for generations to come
Dem cyaan enslave yuh When yuh have wisdom
Bun dem indoctrination

Cuh di system out fi dem self yeah
Poor man nuh get nuh help yeah

Hungry need to be fed yeah
They talk but deh is no action

While wi have a mind of our own yeah
Your mind shall free you
But wi nuh born as no slave
Oh we were born to give thanks unto di maker
Evilous men could neva outdo di creator
