[Intro]
Time is slippin' away
And I and I no reach high on yet
[Chorus]
Fi we time, fi we time
Dis a sufferer's time
Fi we time, children, fi we time
Dis a sufferer's time
[Verse 1]
A time fi sufferers drive big car
Time fi sufferers live it up
A time fi sufferers drive big car
Time fi sufferers live it up
[Chorus]
Fi we time, fi we time
Dis a sufferer's time
Fi we time, children, fi we time
Dis a sufferer's time
[Verse 2]
Now that rasta have a blouse
Time fi rasta hold di douse
Now that dreadlocks have a blouse
Time fi dreadlocks hold di douse (Because)
[Chorus]
Fi we time, fi we time
Dis a sufferer's time
Fi we time, children, fi we time
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 (Children)
Too much ism and skism
Too much ism and skism (Taking over)
Too much ism and skism
[Bridge]
A so we say, a so we go
A so we say, a so we go
A so we say, a so we go
A so we say, a so we go
A so we say, a so we go
A so we say, a so we go
[Chorus]
Fi we time, fi we time
Dis a sufferer's time
Fi we time, children, fi we time
Dis a sufferer's time
[Verse 4]
A time fi sufferers drive big car
Time fi sufferers live it up
A time fi sufferers drive big car
Time fi sufferers live it up
[Outro]
Fi we time, oh lord, fi we time
Stop the ism and skism
Fi we time, children, fi we time
It's a sufferer's time
Fi we time, children, fi we time
Stop the ism and skism
Fi we time, oh lord, fi we time
Dis a sufferer's time
