Lyrics Cry Cry Blood - Steel Pulse

When wo gonna wake up?

A who the hell do they think I am?
A give me food from dem pot bottom
A give me scrap from their table
I man no desperate or disable

In dis ya land we live where dog eat dog
And some a dem just a gwaan like hog
A simple ting fe mek jump and bark
A gravalicious like a harbour shark

Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Cry Blood)
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood
For my people, yeah!
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Got to Cry Blood)
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood
Eh!

There's just one thing I can't overstand
What mek we love fe kill we own black man
Me feel so shame, me have run and hide
Me call it self-inflicted genocide

Me step aside and hav fe weep and moan
I feel the pressure right inside my bones
I man back against the wall
Woo, I hold my head and bawl

Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Cry Blood)
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood
For my people, yeah!
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Got to Cry Blood)
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Cry!)
For my People Yeah, My People
For my People Yeah, My People
For my People Yeah!

Nyahbinghi Bobo Shanty I
In a dispute I says I don't know why
Be careful of the flag now
Don't put the lion on its back now

A dis ya plan to divide and rule
In a the end a we the people lose
So many martyrs try to put things right
Oh no I and I won't give the fight

Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Cry Blood)
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood
For my people, yeah!
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Got to Cry Blood)
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Cry!)
For my People Yeah, My People
For my People Yeah, My People
For my People Yeah!

When we gonna wake up?
Yes, we need a shake up
Let us kiss and make up
Or bare witness to this break up
The whole world's taking advantage
While we stand aside and look
It was prophesied we'd rise again
Just take a second look

A cry, cry blood, yeah
Cry blood, cry blood (Cry Blood)
Cry blood
A cry, cry blood, yeah
For my people, yeah, yeah
