[Intro]
Tonight I man a star
So I man a go check our bredrin here and far
Time is slippin' away
And I and I no get high on yet
[Verse 1]
Mi say, mi stop each height
Mi say, mi have a brand new bike
I man feel fine
Cah, dis ya sufferer's time
[Chorus]
Time fi sufferers drive big car
Time fi sufferers live it up
Time fi sufferers drive big car
Time fi sufferers live it up
[Verse 2]
Mi say, mi dal it up a Constant Spring
But mi never find a thing
So mi dal it up a Monya
Fi go check sister Sonya
A 'bout she gone a California
Gone spend out mi donza
So mi dal it up a sufferer's heights
An' go lick up di hot pipe
Di dread was there so we drink [?]
So mi put on mi big shot
An' mi go prip beggar suss
Mi go drink up di roots in mi big hill boot
Under heavy, heavy manners
Under heavy ambition, you know
[Chorus]
Dis a sufferer's time
[Verse 3]
Four hundred years of colonialism
And I and I no get high on yet
I and I no reach high on yet ('Cause)
Too much ism and skism (Taking over)
Too much ism and skism
Too much ism and skism (Children)
Too much ism and skism
[Verse 4]
Mi say, mi stop each height
Mi say, mi have a brand new bike
I man feel fine
Cah, dis ya sufferer's time
Riding through the valley
And over di hill
A with a pile of ten dollar bill
[Chorus]
A time fi sufferers drive big car
Time fi sufferers live it up
Time fi sufferers drive big car
Time fi sufferers live it up
[Verse 5]
A 'bout she gone a California
Gone spend out mi donza
So mi dal it up a sufferer's heights
An' go lick up di hot challis pipe
Di dread was there so we drink [?]
So mi put on mi big shot
An' go prip beggar suss
Mi go drink up di roots in mi big hill boot
Under heavy, heavy manners
Under heavy ambition, you know
Few ballheads could
What a [?] could do
Watchin' a sufferers passin' through
[Outro]
Fi we time, fi we time
Dis a sufferer's time
Fi we time, fi we time
Dis a sufferer's time
