Hypocrite Corner Lyrics
Hey mate, what's wrong?
Hypocrite!
A hypocrite! Just bawl!
And pharisees!
Only righteous people alone pon di track, man
Move out of my way!
Moving on, forward and we nah look back
Because we cyan stay no longer inna hypocrite system
Babylon! Vampire! Heathen! Leave!
Badmind people always find a way to make things harder
But we're getting wiser every day
We must prosper
Always smile when we're face to face
Behind your back it's just a different case
Hypocrite, hypocrite, run down hold your space
Lord!
We cyan stay yah, we haffi run from yah
Too much hypocrite, hypocrite deh pon di corner
Me cyan stay yah, me haffi run from yah
Too much hypocrite, hypocrite deh pon di corner
Everything a weh me do, mi say, dem a follow
Dem a sit down and a labba and a spread rumor
Dem waan fi know weh me get so much dollar
Some of dem a talk 'bout me a smuggle ganja
There's some things you don't forget
Like courtesy and dearest respect
Respect mutual between friends we know
Backbiters, it nah go go so, no
Backbiter, biter, biter, leave from yah
Obeah worker, worker, le- leave 'bout yah
Vampire-pire, waan you leave from yah
Too much informer and too much obeah worker
Violence dem a deal with pon di corner
Dem no waan fi see a youth man make a dollar
Who no waan lick you down and work di obeah
We cyan stay yah, me haffi run from yah
Too much hypocrite, hypocrite deh pon di corner
Cyan stay yah, we haffi run from yah
Too much hypocrite, hypocrite deh pon di corner
(Watch it!)
Hypocrite, hypocrite deh pon di corner
(Watch it!)
This a weh we know, we nah guess it
If you have a doubt, a boy come test it
A God fi we decide, no bwoy cyan take it
Because a long time me deh yah from di foundation
And me no trouble no people, me no harm no man
That's why me cyan take di backbiter dem plan
All dem waan fi do a trouble pure youth man
Dem no like how you stay and dem no like how you tan
Dem no like how you move and how you galong
We cyan stay yah, we haffi run from yah
Too much hypocrite, hypocrite deh pon di corner
We cyan stay yah, we haffi run from yah
Too much hypocrite, hypocrite deh pon di corner
We haffi move off of di hypocrite corner
Moving forward, we cyan stay on yah
No time to ramp, no time to waste
Now we a go deal with the case
We haffi move off of di hypocrite corner
Moving forward, we cyan stay on yah
No time to ramp, no time to waste
Now we haffi step up the pace
Lord!
We cyan stay yah, we cyan stand 'bout yah
Too much hypocrite, hypocrite deh pon di corner
Me cyan stay yah, me haffi run from yah
Too much hypocrite, hypocrite deh pon di corner
That's why I don't know, I don't know
Why di vampire, mi say, dem tan so
I don't know, dread'a, I don't know
Why di heathen, mi say, dem tan so
If you try to make it, mi say, straight up attack dem
Unuh mind me, bredren, if you drop back
And if you don't try to make it at all
Di whole of dem yah call you a lazy boy
Your love is not a gamble and your love is not a toy
Di heathen mussi take God pickney fi toy
A long time me deh yah from di foundation
Me deh yah long time and me know say me strong
Me never trouble nobody, never harm no man
Me still a move long...
Hypocrite!
A hypocrite! Just bawl!
And pharisees!
Only righteous people alone pon di track, man
Move out of my way!
Moving on, forward and we nah look back
