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 patronize 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 let's 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 Picture 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!
