Look how the man them sit up pon the sidewalk 
A set out them business 
The woman them, some with little children, 
See how they spread out 
And it's the start of another day 
That's how they work to get their pay 
And they're trying to do their best 
Each and every day 
They'll sell you this 
They'll sell you that 
Goods, cash, delivery on the spot 
They juggle among 
Thieves and killers 
Who sometimes rob, or shoot a higgler 
Police and soldiers in the area 
Man a run up and down because of fear, sah 
Who is gonna control the situation 
It's getting out of hand 
There must be some way to hold it down 

Just the other day the man them satta 
Pon the corner 
Robber move through 
And take them off guard sah 
So they juck down a higgler 
And rob him of him goods sah 
They live pon the people them 
Like when John Crow swarm dead meat 
They cut off the lady finger 
Just to take her ring sah 
Wa kind a thing that you a deal with 
Whoa yea 
Can't go so way
