Rasta Bourgeois - Alpha Blondy

We’re sick and tired of being poor

Life is worth much more than silver and gold

Live a descent life

Give my children a better life

I want them to go to school

And learn the golden rules

So they won’t become nobody’s fool

The sun belongs to everyone

No one stands alone

Long time I and I strive

Hanging on my pride

My dignity and my pride

Long time we have no fun

Rasta let’s laugh together now ha ha ha

Rasta bourgeois

Jah wants you to smile

Poverty ain’t no fashion

Poverty is not a profession

Poverty is a crime

Poverty is a social crime

Rasta bourgeois

Rasta don’t cry

I wanna see you smile

Rasta dé pon top, rasta never flop

Our povertyis not exotic

Our politic is not touristic…
