This is (Trench town rock) don't watch that
(Trench town rock) big fish or sprat now
(Trench town rock) you reap what you sow
(Trench town rock) and only Jah-Jah know
(Trench town rock) I'll never turn my back
(Trench town rock) I'll give the slum a try
(Trench town rock) I never let the children cry
(Trench town rock) 'cause you got to tell Jah-Jah why
