[Chorus] [2x]

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people every day

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people every day

[Verse 1]

So the Glock a fyah Judgement inna you ears

And you cannot take it no more

You're visioning a spaceship

That a take you out a hardcore

You full a broken dreams, weh you can't just restore

You think you heart heal, then it broke out inna sore

Would you be a Jedi star, inna this yah star war

Vader nah go make you reach far

Or would you just lose your mind like inna movie shine

Walk away and turn the blind eye

[Chorus]

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people every day (Kingston 12)

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people every day (Kingston 11)

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people every day (Kingston 19)

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people every day

[Verse 2]

Ask yourself how dem a do it

I tell you how dem do it

Kingston 12 a so dem do it

Who a fyah the 'matik

Who keep away from it

Who going drop 'cause a militancy

So would you be a gun bwoy

Or play with Lego toys

Be a spectator or the real McCoy

Or would you try tek the sky on a paper plane flight

Knowing that your visa was denied

[Chorus]

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people every day (Kingston 12)

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people every day (Kingston 11)

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people every day (Kingston 19)

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people every day

[Verse 3]

So the speedometer gone to the limit

And you cannot stop it no more

Babylon a three digits

But them nah go come to you door

Shotta livity never into your pores

So you need a way out this cold

So would you be a Jedi star, inna this yah star war

Vader nah go make you reach far

Or would you just lose your mind like inna movie shine?

Walk away and turn the blind eye?

[Chorus]

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people every day

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people every day

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people every day

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people every day

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people (Kingston 12)

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people (Kingston 11)

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people (Kingston 19)

I cry for my people every day

Cry for my people every day
