Them a Fi Get a Beaten Songtext
von Peter Tosh

I can′t stand this no longer,
The wicked get stronger.
I can't stand this no longer,
′Cause the battle is gettin' hotter.
But dem ha fe get a beatin',
The wicked ha fe get a beatin′.
Dem mus get a beatin′,
The wicked ha fe get a beatin'.
Now that you waited,
Till your back is against the wall.
One step, to progress, my brother,
And I know Jah will help you all.
Dem ha fe get a beatin′, Lord.
Dem mus get a beatin', yeah.
Dem ha fe get a beatin′, I say,
And dem can't get away.
I can′t stand this no longer,
The wicked get stronger.
I can't stand this no longer,
'Cause even cockroach get nuffer.


Dem ha fe get a beatin′, yeah.
Dem mus get a beatin′, Lord.
Dem ha fe get a beatin', yeah.

Must the good suffer for the bad?
And every time the good open his mouth,
The bad say: "You must be mad!".
Dem ha fe get a beatin', Lord,
Dem mus get a beatin′, yeah.
Dem ha fe get a beatin', Lord,
And dem can′t get away, yeah.

Till your back is against the wall.
