Food for the Hungry

Bridge: Any time I wake up I am dead for hungry, I can't 
afford no food to bust my belly, I search for work 
throughout the city , but I still can't feed my wife and my
 two pickney (children). Jah knows that (say) the bark it 
is never worse than the bite, Jah knows that (say) the fuss
 it is not going to be worse that the fight, I travel all 
day and I DJ all night and survive through the strength of 
Jehovah's might (Phil 4:13).
Chorus: A so it go (This is how it goes) - when we suffer 
and we suffer real bad (1Cor 4:11), A so it go - when we 
suffer and we are begging like a dog, well who feels it 
knows it and I feel it Lord, We are in a tribulation an 
them hit (lick) us hard.
Woe!... So help I Jah, Cha me say Lord have His mercy 
(Psalm 9:13). Woe!... I am a sufferer (2Cor 6:5), Come let 
us do the Trench Town Rock. Woe!... So help I Jah, People 
we are dead for hungry (2Cor 11:27). Woe!... We are the 
sufferers, The true sufferers
It is named; So Jah Say, So Jah Said "Not one of my seeds 
shall sit and beg bread upon the side walk, No more mouth 
talk, Haven't you heard? Actions them speak louder than 
words It's absurd! We beg like dogs when we should fly like
 a bird (Isaiah 40:31) oh Lord! Hand to mouth it can't work
 we beg like a dog when we should fly like a bird, we beg 
like dog when we should fly. . . . . (and sing)
Woe!... So help I Jah, Father we need some encouragement 
(Rom 15:4). Woe!... We are the sufferers, Give us some self
 respect yo (2Pet 2:17), Woe!... So help I Jah, for the 
people living in a tenement. Woe!... We are the sufferers, 
The true sufferers. (Chorus)
Broke pocket! Cause when them poverty come it can't hit we,
 The famine it come it, can't kick we, the two of them come
 and them start to lick we, Jah Jah coming to the rescue 
quickly (Psalm 91:14). When Babylon come them can't hold 
we, The politricks a come them can't control me, The two of
 them come and them start to fold we Jah Jah Spirit come 

and Him control me (Phil 3:21, Eph 5:18). We sing...
Woe!... So help I Jah, well listen to the raggamuffin. 
Woe!... We are the sufferers, Lord have His mercy yeah 
(Psalm 123:3). Woe!... So help I Jah, give the food for the

sufferers, The true sufferers. (Chorus) Break it down! 
(Bridge). Oh Lord! Woe!... So help them Jah, (Lam 2:19) 
give the food for the hungry (Isa 58:10) Woe!... they are 
the sufferers, (Lam 5:10) (Chorus).
The slave masters took the shackles from our ankles - (and)
 put the chains upon our brain, It seems insane but Jah 
workers them don't labor in vain (Ps 127:1), they shall be 
saved all of them who choose to call on His name (Rom 
10:13). So from the sweat off our brows, (from) the sweat 
off our backs, we shall work all day and we are not going 
to relax (Prov. 16:26). Due to sin through thorns and 
thistles we must toil upon the earth (Gen 3:17-19). Only 
the righteous will find what life is worth. In God's 
metamorphosis they shall find a new birth (1Pet 1:3, 1:23, 
John 3:3)(and Sing)
Woe!... So help them Jah, the whole of them in Mother 
Africa. Woe!... they are the sufferers, In Uganda and 
Kenya. Uganda, Somalia, Nigeria and South Africa. Ethiopia,
 and Kenya, in China and the whole of Jamaica.
They say you give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, 
but teach a man to fish and you feed him for life (Matt 
25:31-46). But I can't buy a reel, I can't find no pale, I 
can't by a hook and I can't afford a knife. (They say) you 
have to beat the system before it beats you, yet we are 
already black and so blue. Judging by race and class must 
be through (I Sam 16:7), we want justice for all and not 
just for a few! Broke pocket! And so me tell them say, Lord
 have His mercy yeah! Jah knows them suffer real bad.
