Hate a little sister
Hey little sister
In the government, you're entrenched now.
In a government yard in Trenchtown
In the government, you're entrenched now.
In the government yard in Trenchtown
My fear is my only courage.
My feet is my only carriage.
No, what mine look like
No woman no cry
Ah lick'a toilet, don' shed no tears.
Oh little darlin', don't shed no tears.
And we would cook some Neosporin
Of which I'll share with you.
And we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you.
Good French we lost
Good friends we lost
I remember when we used to sit
In the government you're entrenched in.
I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown.
In the government fjord in Trtenchtown
In the government yard in Trenchtown
My fear is my only carriage.
My feet is my only carriage.
My fear is my only courage.
My feet are my only carriage.
No old man don't cry.
No woman, no cry
No woman, no child
No woman, no cry
No woman, no crack
No woman, no cry
No woman, no crime
No woman no cry
No woman, no pride
No woman, no cry
No woman, no pride
No woman, no cry
No worms in the pies
No burgers, no fries
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
