Plastic Smile Lyrics
Don't show I yuh teeth, plastic smile can't work
Don't show I yuh teeth, plastic smile can't work
Take you face from the ground
Girl, stop wearing frown
I'm not a clown that laughs and jokes
While my structure in smoke
Every man is born of truth, in the natural birth
The things that the Fari say to do now
Shows what life really worth
Don't show I, don't show I no teeth, teeth can't work
Don't show I yuh teeth, plastic smile can't work
Don't show I yuh teeth, plastic smile can't work
She mummy came from a foreign land
With a whole lot of Babylon
Now you gone a lucky land
Girl! You've got to prove she lion!
Don't show I yuh teeth, plastic smile can't work
Don't show I yuh teeth, plastic smile can't work
You mummy been saying that, whoa oh
When you reach a foreign land
You will get a future paradise
But that no right, that no right
That no right, inna Jah Jah sight!
(..)
A weh she say, she a say, she really say
A weh she really tell so she say
Don't show I, don't show I no teeth, teeth can't work
Don't show I yuh teeth, plastic smile can't work
Don't show I yuh teeth, plastic smile can't work
(..)
Don't show I yuh teeth, plastic smile can't work
