Set sail from the island shores Told of the streets that were paved with gold We were cheap labour right after the war A pie in the sky we were searching for
Our mamas and papas came over and got no respect When they came for work And sent for our brothers and sisters Who left all the sunshine To be treated like dirt....so now
Dem a throw dirty water in our face We came here and got no love only hate So we are tired to eat up the crumbs pon your plate ....can't wait I just can't wait, no way ....can't wait I just can't wait, now, no way Give one good reason why you do that
We ain't got completion to get the connection To be in position for the right direction Wow know
We've got wounds from old slavery And even today they refuse to heal Just like a scapegoat we almost feel Cause we have been given a very raw deal
The last to be hired the first to be fired oh yes Still remains the same We built up your country and foretold your wars Any crises we would get the blame so now
Can't wait, I just can't wait no way Can't wait, I just can't wait
Gimme back me shilling with mi lion pon it Gimme back me land flowing with milk and honey
Back away with your name calling us Jungle Bunny You tell too much blasted lie with your tarzan movie
Can't wait, I just can't wait Just give me one good reason why you do that!
