Y - People Lyrics

The people are feeling down, down, down
So who's gonna help them to climb up
They're feeling down, down
Just look around
The people are feeling down

There's a whole population feeling frustration
Wishing for some paper, medication, sanitation
Insane
Stress killing dem brain
It's a whole generation inna segregation
Looking for some love and patience; more open relation
Indeed
So many in need

The people are feeling down, down
Way down
Di fren weh dem keep kick di ladda to keep dem down, down
Neva turn around
Mhm
The people are feeling down

Open up your eyes and check a history book
You nuh affi skip too far fi get di hook
A shame
Some friends to blame
Wars, czars, lies, tricks an' hypocrites
Dem will sell yuh out fi get a pair a kicks
Graves
Aren't you feeling the pain?

The people still feeling down, down
No sit-down
Nobody to help dem to climb up
They're feeling down, down
There's no doubt
Mhm

That anywhere you go, you can see the truth around
Believe this sound
But people learn to live
So much hope and dreams around
Refuse to drown

The people can't always be down, down
Never stay down
Even if nobody helps them to climb up now
No
Dem turn it around

The people will never, the people will never be down
That anywhere you go, you can see the truth around
Believe this sound
The people, the people, the people will never be down
But people learn to live
So much hope and dreams around
Refuse to drown
My people, your people, the people will never be down
The people won't always be down
