Gregory Isaacs ( from about 1979?)
Called POOR AND CLEAN
A rich mans heaven is a poor mans hell
So many years I've been slaving in your factory
Never had a chance to talk to the boss
And for so long I've been living in this
Old community ,where no one knows my fate
Yet I pay the cost
No one knows my fate yet I pay the cost
But I would rather live poor and clean
Than rich in corruption
I said I've got to live clean
Cause JAH has got to pa** down judgement
I said I wanna be clean
Can't you see what I mean?
Wanna be strong
All day long
I would rather to live poor and clean
Than to live rich in corruption
I wanna be clean
Can't you see what I mean?
A rich mans heaven is a poor mans hell
