Who Feels It Knows It

(album: Romain Virgo - 2010)

This one is fi all a di hard working people
Jamaican people
Some nuh know what it feels like
Fi a work from six inna the morning
Straight up to midnight, midnight
A me fi tell yuh, huh

You think it easy fi barber
Stand up inna di shop whole day
And nuttin nah gwaan
You think it easy fi farmer
Stay up inna di sun whole day
A plough the farm
It no easy being a vendor nor a taxi man, no
You think it easy fi stand up
And a watch di youth a cry fi food fi nyam

But a who feels it knows it
We a feel it from we likkle and a grow
A who feels it knows it
Sometimes you feel like fi let go
A who feels it knows it
We a feel it from we likkle and a grow
A who feels it knows it
A only Jah Jah know (only Jah Jah know)

You think it easy fi know seh
Early a morning landlord a come fi the rent
When deep dung inna yourself, you know seh
You don't have a cent
You know mi feel it fi di youths dem
Wey haffi sleep out a street
Dem no care fi di youths dem
And a long time mi seet

So a who feels it knows it
We a feel it from we likkle and a grow
A who feels it knows it
Sometimes you feel like fi let go
A who feels it knows it
We a feel it from we likkle and a grow
A who feels it knows it
A only Jah Jah know (only Jah Jah know)
Yeah

The way di system set up
No help poor people no way
But poor people nah go give up, no
No matter how it stay
We still hustle and fight it (hustle and fight it)
All when we no like it (when we no like it)
Still working on an on
From dusk till dawn

So a who feels it knows it
We a feel it from we likkle and a grow
A who feels it knows it
Sometimes you feel like fi let go
A who feels it knows it
We a feel it from we likkle and a grow
A who feels it knows it
A only Jah Jah know (only Jah Jah know)
Yes

You think it easy fi know seh
Early a morning landlord a come fi the rent
When deep dung inna yourself, you know seh
You don't have a cent
You know mi feel it fi di youths dem
Wey haffi sleep on the street, hmm
Dem no care fi di youths dem
And a long time mi seet

So a who feels it knows it
Dem a feel it from dem likkle and a grow
A who feels it knows it
Sometimes dem feel like fi let go
A who feels it knows it
Dem a feel it from dem likkle and a grow
A who feels it knows it
A only Jah Jah know, yeah
