Third world living
We do first world drilling
Trying to build ah worth for we children

Banana republic

Dem try diss the Dan
And them plug it
Dawg
Politicians are puppet
Crime rise dem nah stop it
Yet funds allocated in the budget
So Come
Vacay in the tropics
Gyal thick and dem luscious
Still make you pay for dem crutches
Mount ah K play in these projects
Blood money still making deposits
Do no try make no sense of it

Yeah dawg see it all the time eh know
Free speech is like ah crime eh know

Politicians have one thing on they mind
To climb the ladder of hierarchy
Party hearty
With a set ah trappy barbies
Still they give yuh ah jacket
For playing pimping pappy
Watch yuhself inno daddy

Banana republic
Trinibad and dem love it
Power dem covet
Yet dem coward and novice
Politicians dem promise
Keeps the people impoverished
Convicts on tonic
And issue that's chronic
Wonders with one hit
Convinced that dem run shit
Sad yet ironic
The same ones piss and dem vomit
When gunmen dem spot it
Pull it and pop it
Dem end up a topic

Dem head get too big
So dem forget how to live

So them dem end up with dem long long long bids
A career ah crime inno dog
Yeah money on we mind

Banana republic
Trinibad and we love it
The smartmen dem sharp and dem polish
Selling dem art for ah profit
Stacking the dockets
While fatten fattening pockets
However dishonest
Morals not even ah subject
So nothing can flourish
The masses lack courage
Badness and cash is
All they acknowledge
A system of class
That don't know what
Love is

The land of the pitch lake
Yeah we does gamble for big stakes
Yeah Artist looking for big break
Nothing nah gwan still
While politician eat big stake
We out here grinding dog
This wah the risk take
