"Lie" lyrics

"Lie"

I-man not surprised, 'nuff people dem too lie; let me tell you why:
Not a big surprise: all politicians, dem too, lie; let me tell you why

Lies we all tell, so Barabbas can not trick me
Parliament a liar so don't hold it like a ministry
Some a phony preacher and a trouble dey pickney
Sargent a liar an a talk pon de witness
Foreign lie dem a tell a yard, lies are fabricated
Make up their sorrys like novels for babies
Changing mouth regular - like lipsticks on ladies
Get under yuh skin like rabies and scabies

Also entertainers whole heap a lies on dem resume
Buss and by rounds then supplied in community
Talented yardie, end up like Addi
From cash and Bacardi to Tower Street

I-man not surprised, 'nuff people dem too lie; let me tell you why:
Not a big surprise: all politicians, dem too, lie; let me tell you why

I-man not surprised, all entertainers dem too lie; let me tell you why:
Not a big surprise: all police bwoy, him too, lie; let me tell you why

Lies are way much cheaper than the burden of the Truth
Photoshop and filters the new Fountain of the Youth
Aloo Bun O.V. know dem surgically cute
And a lie, but the life never touch them too!
Husband lie to wifey, Pickney lie to parents
Employ does a liar all around the media outlets
Ministers liars, liars dem a liars, the Judgement cooking 'pon backfire!

I-man not surprised, 'nuff people dem too lie; let me tell you why:
Not a big surprise: all politicians, dem too, lie; let me tell you why

I-man not surprised, all entertainers dem too lie; let me tell you why:
Not a big surprise: all police bwoy, him too, lie; let me tell you why

Lies we all tell, we all walk ina one shoe
But we nuh like the one dem weh a influence the youth
Seh dem walk in peace, and dem walk with them troops
Skydivers without a parachute! Tell y' what:
Politicians trick we, election not a victory
The truth is hidden in their lies and paralyze the system
Rockets moving thick-thick, rude bwoy keep the place lit:
Him hungry and not coming to your picnic!
