LYRICS

Verse I
A who the hell do they think I am
A give me food from dem pot bottom
A give me scrap from their table
I man no desperate or disable

In dis ya land we live where dog eat dog
And some a dem a just a gwaan like hog
A simple ting fe mek jump and bark
A gravalicious like a harbour shark

Chorus I
Cry Blood, Cry Cry Blood
Cry Blood, Cry Cry Blood
For my people yeah x2

Verse II
There’s just one thing I can’t overstand
What mek we love fe kill we own black man
Mi feel so shame mi have run and hide
Mi call it self-inflicted genocide

Me step aside and hav fe weep and moan
I feel the pressure right inside my bones
I man back against the wall
Woo l hold my head and bawl

Chorus II
Cry Blood
Cry Blood, Cry Cry Blood
Cry Blood, Cry Cry Blood
For my people yeah

Verse III
Nyahbinghi Bobo Shanty I
In a dispute I says don’t know why
Be careful of the flag now
Don’t put the lion on its back now

A dis ya plan is to divide and rule
In a the end a we the people lose
So many martyrs come fe things right
Oh no I and I won’t give the fight

Chorus III
Cry Blood cry cry blood
Cry Blood cry cry blood for my people yeah
Cry Blood cry cry blood
Cry Blood cry cry blood for my people yeah
For my people yeah yeah
My people people
My people.

When we gonna wake up
Yes we need a shake up
Let us kiss and make up
Or bare witness to this break up
The whole world’s taking advantage
While we stand aside and look
It was prophesied we’d rise again
Just take a second look

A cry cry blood yeah
Cry blood cry blood
For my people yeah ye
My people people
My people.
