CHORUS – 2x
Nobody feel no way
It's coming close to payday I say
Nobody feel no way
Everyman get paid a quota's work this day

Can I plant peas and reap rice?
Can I plant cocoa and reap yam?
Can I plant turnip and reap tomato?
Can I plant breadfruit and reap potato?

CHORUS

Can I tell lie and hear truth?
Can I live bad and love good?
Can I deliver and get down?
Can I give a dollar and want a pound?

CHORUS

Can I be wrong and get right?
Can I be kicked and don't fight?
Can I drink water and get drunk?
Can I drink whiskey and stay sober?
