Write Off The Debt lyrics

Write off the debt 
Me say write off the debt 
Me say write off the debt 
And stop the third world a fret 

I say the imf put on too much interest 
Certain man pon the streets can't even buy a little vest 
I said the east and the west them just a build up dem chest 
Certain man in the third world can't even digest, a little food 
But no bother take them man deh as no fool 
Cos' you know say dem teach and go a good school 
Me say lord a god a mercy dem learn up all the rules 
So no bother patronise dem cos all dem need is the tools 
Me say over the millennium me say what a bomb 
Me say a whole heap of right 
Me say a whole heap of wrong 
I say it's time to come together and sing we own song 
And make the shooting and all the killing and the fighting 
Have fe done 
I say the imf wipe off the lump sum 
You know say me bredren that would a handsome 
So come on fe me posse lets rehearse up this song 
And hope say dem man yah don't take too long 

Me say write off the debt 
Me say write off the debt 
And stop the third world a fret 

Picture a world with no more hurt and pain 
Picuture a world where we are all the same 
Maybe not in mind but in spirit 
Must do the right thing to ease the pain 

Yes me breden that would a wicked!
