Di Black Petty Booshwah lyrics

dem wi'gi` whey dem talent to di state
an'di black workin' class andahrate
dem wi' side wid oppressah
w'en di goin' get ruff
side wid aggressah
w'en di goin' get tuff

dem a black petty-booshwah
dem full of flaw
dem a black petty-booshwah
dem full of flaw

tru dem seh dem edicate dem a gwaan irate
tru dem seh dem edicate dem a seek tap rate
dem a seek posishan
aaf di backs of blacks
seek promoshan
aaf di backs af blacks

dem a black petty-booshwah
dem full of flaw
dem a black petty-booshwah
dem full of flaw

dem a run-up dem mout' an' a shout all about
tru dem have a lat a dou't 'bout di stren't af blacks
dem a run-up dem mout'
an' a shout all about
but w'en wi launch wi attack
dem wi' haffi dress back

dem a black petty-booshwah
dem full of flaw
dem a black petty-booshwah
dem full of flaw!
