Tell It Like It Is

I jus' a tell it like it is, yeah

I jus' a tell it like it is, oh yeah

(I've got to be blatant in this time

jus' like I know 1 and 1 no make 9)

Now what was I saying about being blatant

You got to be blatant in an argument

You got to make sure your feelings are felt

Perfect example for you from me

Watch lying polititians me seh on me TV

Pay big big money for the licence fee

(At the same time them a try fe fool we) (2x)

I jus' a tell it like it is, yeah

I jus' a tell it like it is, oh yeah

(I've got to be blatant in this time

jus' like I know 1 and 1 no make 9)

Now let me tell you more about being blatant

You have to be blatant with the product you invent

If you don't patent it you nah see a cent

You have no money fi go pay up your rent

If you crash fi your car or your in an accident

(If it's not your fault you be blatant) (2x)

I jus' a tell it like it is, yeah

I jus' a tell it like it is, oh yeah

(I've got to be blatant in this time

jus' like I know 1 and 1 no make 9)

Now I get serious about being blatant

Police come and mess with me pon the pavement

They say oi' where you going, what you doing here?

I just leave mi house fi go buy a tin of beer

Another example of being blatant

South Africa police a kill the innocent

Fire live ammunition me seh into the crowd

When the crowd disperse there are kids on the ground

(If that's not blatant murder then murder can't be found)

(repeat)

I jus' a tell it like it is, yeah

I jus' a tell it like it is, oh yeah

(I've got to be blatant in this time

jus' like I know 1 and 1 no make 9)
