Lyrics: Lexie Lee. Other. Dixie.
Verse 1
Dis a nuh di south, we nuh whistling Dixie
People life real, a nuh fairytale, listen me
System set up fi jail di poor pickney
Shackle di mind, dem chain we an whip we
Infest di soul wid all kind a vanity
Program di mind an mek we loose sanity
Stuck ina a state of constant moronity
Fall victim, we exit from humanity
Life is a struggle dressed up in weeds
What goes around comes around in deed
Nuff a dem a suffah from insatiable greed
Abundance in a time of need
Hook
So money haffi run, down ina di ghetto
Tell di government fi come, bring it ovah yah so
We fi rise like di sun, shouldnt haffi win di lotto
Fi live a bettah life, dat a everybody motto
Repeat
Verse 2
Mi ask dem
Wah mek poor people caan get no help
An corporate welfare, teck presidence
Ovah people weh not even have a residence
Di apathy is clear, it a real evidence
Dem nuh give a rats ass or a sixpence
Nail yuh like Jesus, dem hen yuh pon fence
Might a meck dollas but it nevah mek sense
Dem, wicked act haffi come to an end when
(Dem a build all dem house outa blood
Knee-deep di whole a dem stand up ina di mud, mi seh)
Repeat
What a calamity
Dem teck set pon humanity
Youth and youth unu fi fallah me
Fi live a bettah life, dat a di livity
Wah me tell dem seh
Hook
So money haffi run, down ina di ghetto
Tell di government fi come, bring it ovah yah so
We fi rise like di sun, shouldnt haffi win di lotto
Fi live a bettah life, dat a everybody motto
Mi tell dem
Repeat
Verse 3
Money fi run, it haffi flow ina di ghetto
So di youth dem can survive if dem a live ina di ghetto
Money fi run, it haffi flow ina di ghetto
So di youth dem can survive if dem a live ina di ghetto
If dem a struggle, dem a strive ina di ghetto
Money fi run, it fi flow, it haffi run ina di ghetto
Money fi run, it haffi flow ina di ghetto
So di youth dem can survive if dem a live ina di ghetto
Money fi run, it fi pass round di cornah
Money fi run ina every single area
Outah Bronx lane, outtah Rema
Money fi run, tell dem bring it ina
Money fi run, it fi runa all ina jungle
Money fi run, it fi come ina di bungle
Money fi run, Money fi run, Money fi run
Wah mi tell dem seh..
