A lot of people wonder: ‘What is the blues?
I hear a lot of people saying the blues, the blues’
But imma tell you what the blues is
When you ain’t got no money - you got the blues
When you ain’t got no money to pay your house rent, you still got the blues
A lot of people hola ‘bout ‘I don’t like no blue’
But if you ain’t got no money
and can’t pay your house rent and can’t buy you no food
You damn sure got the blues
Verse 1 (Danny Ranks):
My bredrin, living hard and tough
It no easy at all, you know bredrin, yeah man
Talking ‘bout life my bredrin
Talking ‘bout trying to make ends meet
It’s such a hard thing to do, sister
It’s everyday reality
Chorus:
Please Mr. Money Man
Won’t you give the poor man a helping hand?
Life no easy down ina Babylon
We suffering, suffering
Please Mr. Money Man
Living down here is such a dreadful thing
It no easy down ina Babylon
Cause we’re suffering, cause we’re suffering, cause we’re suffering
(Howlin’ Wolf) We’re talking 'bout the life of human being. How they live.
Verse 2 (Danny Ranks):
Crisis rising, rising
Prices rising so high
I see wages decreasing, I see help system ceasing
and the whole world sigh (aahh)
It’s just another day my bredrin
Just another day in the game, yeah-i
Don’t let them tame you
Neither blame nor restrain you
Just keep your head up high
Chorus
Verse 3:
It’s a new world order, which means social disorder
Instead of easing the pressure they making things harder
We haffe fight like a soldier, can’t make them cross the border
Cause we facing total disaster, yeah-i!
Chorus
