Do You Expect Me
Tanya Stephens
Intro:
De people dem seh dem ah talk and nobody nah listen dem all along
So dem wan me put it in de form of a song
Is like, Sir no betray we trust
So this is to all a u from all of us
Verse 1:
Providing no jobs and telling us not a crime
Is like beating a child and telling him not to cry
With all de highways u a build and go thru
U never build a little avenue fi de youths dem
Burn a buck
Things a run em up
Tell me what de fuck u really think a go happen
If dem no earn a buck
Burn a bus
And none of us really want that shit to happen
Hook:
Yow mister,
U know me nah try fi diss yah
But everything nah so cris here
We just a beg a little help primeminister
Yow
Chorus:
Do u expect me to turn de other cheek
Taste my tears and admit defeat
Do u expect me to listen when u speak
U never ever practice what u preach
Do u expect me to still come out and vote
No matter what happens, I'm always broke
And my people seh dem tired of being poor
Dat de empress a chant and de lion a rooaaar
(Rooooaaaaaaaarrr)
Unno say, yow
Verse 2:
Well even de richest man affi go learn fi take a stance
When dem realise seh dem no safe inna dem mansion
Dere's a tough way fi learn seh u no really secure
When de problems of de poor come kick down ur door
De youths dem a get two thousand gun fi every one who no cease
Instead of treating the symptoms why don't u cure the didease
U know, things must really get wicked
When u paycheck is less than ur speeding ticket
Hook:
Mister,
U know we nah try fi diss yah
But everything nah so cris sah
We just a look a litlle help primeminister
Chorus:
Do u expect me to turn de other cheek
Taste my tears and accept defeat
Do you expect me to listen when u speak
U never ever practice what u preach
Do u expect me to still come out and vote
No matter what happens, I'm always broke
And my people seh dem tired of being poor
Dat de empress a chant and de lion an roooaaar
(Roooooaaaar)
Unno say, yow
Verse 3:
Yow, it goes like this,
Well we seh
Money fi run an it fi run inna bundle
Let it go a river, let it go down a jungle
Down a garden need fi water right down to de dirt
When last u touch a Mavalie, when last u go curt
Unno better fire up de oven, unno need fi start bake
And de Brook Valley man dem need a slice of de cake
Wel dem man dem outta east dem ready fi put down de gun
And no war, dem love war
But de food affi run
Well while tall and great hills roared
U know dem have a little messaege fi disclose
It goes like this
Hook:
Mister,
U ego big u might a think we a diss yah
But everything nah so cris sah
We just a beg a little help primeminister
Yow
Chorus:
Do u expect me to turn de other cheek
Taste my tears and accept defeat
Do u expect me to listen when u speak
U never ever practice what u preach
Do u expect me to still come out and vote
No matter what happens, I'm always broke
And my people seh dem tired of being poor
Dat de empress a chant and de lion a rooooaaaar
(Rooooaaaar)
Unno seh, yow
Well,
Do u expect me to turn de other cheek
Taste my tears and accept defeat
Do u expect me to listen when u speak
U never ever practice what u preach
Do u expect me.........?
