All the day carry
The oil a day, on top, sun
Some man come spoil, oil a day they carry
All the day carry
Some man come spoil, oil a day they carry
Tell me, tell me my brother (tell me, tell me), why not?
Tell me, tell me if not (tell me, tell me), why not?
Tell me, tell me if not (tell me, tell me)
Tell me why I go get, I am not go see (tell me, tell me)
Tell me why I go get to knows, I know the smell (tell me, tell me)
Tell me why I go get the air no go here (tell me, tell me)
Tell me why I go get your mouth another dog (tell me, tell me)
Tell me why I go get your ear an I go home (tell me, tell me)
Tell me why I go get your heart an I go home (tell me, tell me)
Aha

I love you my brother
Them they beat
Them they cheat
Them they (tell me, tell me)
I get the hand to fight if I want fight (tell me, tell me)
I get the leg to run if I want run (tell me, tell me)
Well they take the eye to see oppression
Every day (for left, for right, for up and down)
Well they take the nose to smell
Anomalities everywhere (around, around, around, around)
Well they take the ear to hear corruption
Every day (for left, for right, for up and down)
We go take him out to talk the things we see
Hear and smell (around, around, around, around)
I swore he I know my home I go put them for
When they mock me for sell, Wwen I the
You're the savage on the no beat ground (tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)
They on talk (tell me, tell me)
They carry no them spot (like they carry)
Tell me, tell me my brother (tell me, tell me)

Tell me, tell me (tell me, tell me)
Ah!
(Tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)
(Tell me, tell me)

One, two, three
