Witeman Country lyrics

It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
 
In the '50s my mother sister run go Englan
No my mother gone a America she talk American
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
 
So you left Clarendon fi go a Brixton
And you checks it in school in a Liverpool
But in a fore we didn't know that tings would get a blo
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
 
And I listen the news and I get confused
A black man join the Ku Klux Klan
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
 
If you're white it alright; if you're brown stick around
If you're black get back or you bettah attack
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
 
Now the fire are go burn and the blood a run
Time Big Ben really tumble down
Attah say him a gone go de chalice
But me say him should a torn down the palace
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
 
Hear why
When you there you say "hey Sir"
When you go there you say "hey mate it's got too late"
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
 
So dem shoot ray gun - them shoot the poor
The shoot of at the queen and you take it fi a true
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
 
Blacks In Englan what is your plan
Blacks in Englan take the time
Skinhead dem now check them crime
Blacks in Englan find your land
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
