Ah want to tell you a story, about something that really concerns me
The other day ah went to San Fernando , to do some business you know
Before ah know what was happening , ah hear this man shouting,
Chorus
Hello darling ,ah fine you looking so nice , ( repeat)
Dat was not enough for he
He start to tell me about me body
Well, ah get so vex right away, but ah continue to go on me way
Ah start to listen and look around, to see what really going on,
Well every time a woman passing, you should hear all the heckling,
Ah doh know how all ah you feeling
But ah find it disgusting
Even when you going to church an ting
The same nonsense you encountering
All whey you pass you meeting some man
Who feel he right to speak out he mind
Making yuh life uncomfortable ,and taking you rights from you
Is like they ent have nothing else to do, but to lime and call out to you
Meh heart does grieve when ah remember
How it was many years ago
When you could ah walk the road anytime
To shop and even to lime
bur nowadays it ent so again
Woman of all age in plenty ah pain
Anytime you decide to walk the road
Is the same old song to be heard
What ah pity , what ah shame, what ah disgrace
Even in you own house you ent even safe
Women char go about the business in Peace
Because the men feel they have a lease
ah char take these horrors no more
Ah find they going too far
Is time to open we mouth and talk
And demand the freedom to walk
Well ah have ah suggestion, to alleviate dis frustration
Leh we tell we don’t like Dey action
They have to take a new direction
Leh we start with the old and the young
And all dem who liming around
Leh we tell them they have to sing a new song
Like, good morning, how you doing today
Dat go be enough for we, and it make for equality and harmony
SANTIMANITAY…..
