Them Belly Full
Bob Marley & The Wailers Lyrics

Them belly full but we hungry
Although their stomachs are full, they still feel hungry and unsatisfied with their living conditions.

A hungry mob is an angry mob
When people are deprived of their basic needs and cannot meet their expectations, they become angry and violent.

A rain a fall but the dirt it tough
Despite the rainfall, the ground remains hard and infertile, making it difficult for crops to grow and for people to make a living.

A pot a cook but the food no 'nough
Although they have pots to cook with, they do not have enough food to feed everyone, which exacerbates their hunger and poverty.

Forget your troubles and dance
Through music and dancing, people can temporarily forget their problems and enjoy the moment.

Forget your sorrows and dance
Music has the power to lift people's spirits and temporarily alleviate their sorrows.

Forget your sickness and dance
Music can provide a way of coping with illness and help people forget about their physical pain.

Forget your weakness and dance
Through dancing, people can feel strong and empowered and forget about their perceived weaknesses.

Cost of livin' gets so high
The overall cost of living and basic necessities continue to increase, making it difficult for people to afford basic goods and services.

Rich and poor they start to cry
Both rich and poor people become affected by the increasing cost of living and are struggling to make ends meet.

Now the weak must get strong
During difficult times, those who are vulnerable and weak must become strong to survive and overcome the challenges they face.

They say oh, what a tribulation
The difficult circumstances that people are experiencing have brought about great suffering and adversity.

We're gonna chuck to Jah music chuckin'
Through dancing, people can find comfort and solace in Jah, the Rastafarian term for God.

Belly full but them hungry
Despite being well-fed, people are still hungry and unfulfilled due to their oppressive living conditions.

A hungry man is an angry man
When people are hungry and cannot satisfy their basic needs, they can become angry and frustrated.

A rain a fall but the dirt it tough
Although it may rain, the soil is still infertile and makes it difficult for crops to grow and for people to make a living.

A pot a cook but the food no 'nough
Even though they have the means to cook, they do not have enough food to feed everyone, which leads to hunger and poverty.

A rain a fall but the dirt it tough
Despite the rainfall, the ground remains hard and hostile, making it difficult for agriculture and economic opportunities.

A pot a cook but the food no 'nough
Despite the availability of cooking utensils, there is not enough food to go around, exacerbating hunger and poverty.
