Lexie Lee – Dixie lyrics

This a nuh di south
We nuh whistling Dixie
People life real
A nuh fairytale
Listen me
System set up
Fi jail di poor pickney
Shackle di mind
Dem chain we an whip we
Infest di soul
Wid all kind a vanity
Program di mind an mek
We loose sanity
Stuck ina a state
Of constant moronity
Fall victim
We exit from humanity
Life is a struggle
Dressed up in weeds
What goes around
Comes around in deed
Nuff a dem a suffah
From insatiable greed
Abundance in a time of need

So money haffi run
Down ina di ghetto
Tell di government fi come
Bring it ovah yah so
We fi rise like di sun
Shouldnt haffi win di lotto
Fi live a bettah life
Dat a everybody motto

Mi ask dem
Wah mek poor people
Caan get no help
An corporate welfare
Teck presidence
Ovah people weh
Not even have a residence
Di apathy is clear
It a real evidence
Dem nuh give a rats ass
Or a sixpence
Nail yuh like Jesus
Dem hen yuh pon fence
Might a meck dollas
But it nevah mek sense
Dem, wicked act
Haffi come to an end when
(Dem a build all
Dem house outa blood
Knee-deep di whole a dem
Stand up ina di mud, mi seh)

What a calamity
Dem teck set pon humanity
Youth and youth
Unu fi fallah me
Fi live a bettah life
Dat a di livity
Wah me tell dem seh

So money haffi run
Down ina di ghetto
Tell di government fi come
Bring it ovah yah so
We fi rise like di sun
Shouldn't haffi win di lotto
Fi live a bettah life
Dat a everybody motto
Mi tell dem

Money fi run
It haffi flow ina di ghetto
So di youth dem can survive
If dem a live ina di ghetto
Money fi run
It haffi flow ina di ghetto
So di youth dem can survive
If dem a live ina di ghetto
If dem a struggle
Dem a strive ina di ghetto
Money fi run, it fi flow
It haffi run ina di ghetto
Money fi run
It haffi flow ina di ghetto
So di youth dem can survive
If dem a live ina di ghetto

Money fi run
It fi pass round di cornah
Money fi run
Ina every single area
Outah Bronx lane
Outtah Rema
Money fi run
Tell dem bring it ina
Money fi run
It fi runa all ina jungle
Money fi run
It fi come ina di bungle
Money fi run
Money fi run
Money fi run
Wah mi tell dem seh
