Dirty money
Jesse Royal Lyrics

If education is key, why you can't make it free for we?
If education is truly important, why don't you provide it for free to us?

Or is it because unnuh profit from poverty?
Or is it because you benefit financially from the poverty we suffer?

When you look at me do you see a man
When you look at me, do you see me as a human being?

Or do you see another vote for your party?
Or do you see me as just another vote for your political party?

Only see you when there's election
We only see you when it's time for elections

And you only care (only care) when you're the opposition
And you only show concern when you're not in power

When election done, I nuh see you no more
Once the elections are over, I don't see you anymore

But 'member God is watching (God is watching), you politicians
Remember, God is watching you, politicians

Not even holy water can clean your dirty money (holy, holy)
Even holy water can't cleanse your corrupt money

No holy water can clean your dirty money (holy, holy) (no, no, no, no)
No holy water can cleanse your ill-gotten wealth

No holy water can clean your dirty money (holy, holy) (dirty money)
No holy water can purify your dishonest earnings

Not even hope and prayer can save you from your folly
Not even hope and prayer can rescue you from your foolishness

You rape your daughter and you kill your sister
You commit atrocious acts like raping your own daughter and killing your own sister

You do it for the paper, you're a boss and safa
You do it for money, you consider yourself a powerful and protected figure

For the blood you shed, Jah Jah gonna hunt you down (hunt you down)
For the lives you've taken, Jah Jah will seek justice against you

Wasting plenty, plenty money
You waste a tremendous amount of money

And the children are living inna poverty, ohh
While the children are living in poverty

Hospital no build, the road e no fix, oh
Hospitals are not being built, roads are not being repaired

Do you care 'bout di blood weh ah spill like your house pon di hill
Do you care about the blood being shed, just like you care about your luxurious mansion on the hill?

Or your big fat Benz weh insurance a couple mill
Or your expensive Mercedes Benz with millions in insurance?

Don't you judge me by my attitude
Don't judge me based on my behavior

But when you raise the taxes I don't know what to do
But when you increase taxes, I'm left uncertain about how to cope

And you only care (only care) when you're the opposition (opposition)
And you only show concern when you're not in power

When we vote you in, I nuh see you no more
Once we vote you into office, I no longer see you

God is watching, you politicians
God is observing your actions, politicians

No hope and prayer can save you from your folly
Neither hope nor prayer can rescue you from your foolishness
