Cheetah Sisters - Girl Power lyrics

[Intro:]

Why my people suffer so bad ?

Who is it that should really be sad ?

Is it... Is it the misplaced melancholic ?

Whoa...

[Chorus:]

Well is't politics time again

Are you gonna vote now ?

My people you ah talk

It's politics time again

Are you gonna vote now ?

My god...

[Verse 1:]

Rise up falling suffer

Rise and take your stands again

He who fights and run away

Will live to fight another day

[Chorus]

Make love and not war

[Verse 2:]

It's the time to duty

Haffi see the chance to vote

Fire bun dem constitution

Long time we need ah choose

Fed up with promises

And hopeless hope

Why the box must be empty

For those clothes

No one harm no one

True the color of the clothes, now

But some just plain greedy

No matter how we teach them

For get easy... yaw

[Chorus]

It's the rasta them talkin'

New gear, new gear

[Verse 3:]

Bloodshed...

From rema-a-and

Down in the valley

Can them hear ya-a-ah

Crack down...

(it's) Has become ah gunman compound

Now bless all people who has seen this shit

Lord

Dem cry reliclesly yeah

You keep on moving

Every minute every hour

Gunshot fall like shower

Whoa like new clear power

[Chorus]

[Verse 4:]

And the likkle want, we want

And the likkle preach, we preach

Selcter buzz thier big on the street, lord

Kill people

What dem really seek?

Who is it that I man speaking?

Who is it that is controlin' the system?

Three parties and I'm not dancing

Who is it then?

Who is she then?

Now who is the Mr. In?

Yeah, it is the pain time

Again now... Whoo

[Chorus]

[Verse 5:]

Everything race

But we won't live in fret

But the air we breath becomes thick with dead

Then we know Jah ah guide

We will never fret

When ever you ready ready

No more sparge

Whenever you light or heavy

Ah pure respect, lord lord lord lord

Now war, now war

[Chorus]

[Repeat Verse 2]
