So they conge my yard, so the black they scheme
Ask for the help just to wait and see
So it force ghetto youth fi go tek the machine
There's no time let's start and shine
People from yo don't feel your pain
Why you keeping for your self
When people need help

We don't know what else to say
Our children lock the potentiality
Wid the voice of God for the ship to sink
Difficult times but pass the test

So they conge my yard, so the black they scheme
Ask for the help just to wait and see
So it force ghetto youth fi go tek the machine
There's no time let's start and shine
People from yo don't feel your pain
Why you keeping for your self
When people need help

"Real People"


Most High Jah, Rastafari!
We love Jah so… !
Yeah! Hear me now…

Real people do real things
We don't go around killing others and steal things
Clean people do clean things
Love is the way of life

Real people do real things
All the militancy and the prophecy reveal things
Real people do real things
Love alone heal things and seal things

We got to care for those who don't have it
Share the food and clothes and a just same, so me trod it
Burn out corruption and all who backstab it
Keep lookin' out for the poor and the addicts – yes!
We've been doin' it from ages – bless!
Those who had overcome the rages
Been through the stage, know what the phase is
No matter what we show love and give Selassie praises

Real people do real things
We don't go around killing other and steal things
Real people do real things
Love is the way of life

Clean people do clean things
Hail Selassie I and HIM black supreme things
Real people do real things
Love alone heal things and seal things

For those children who got no food tonight
Not layin' beneath a roof tonight
I pray someone would find you all and treat you right
