Inglan Is A Bitch

Inglan Is A Bitch lyrics with English Translations





W'en mi jus' come to Landan toun Mi use to work pan di andahgroun But workin' pan di andahgroun Y'u don't get fi know your way around
Inglan is a b*tch There's no escapin' it Inglan is a b*tch There's no runnin' whey fram it
Mi get a lickle jab in a bih 'otell An' awftah a while, mi was doin' quite well Dem staat mi aaf as a dish-washah But w'en mi tek a stack, mi noh tun clack-watchah
Inglan is a b*tch There's no escapin' it Inglan is a b*tch No baddah try fi hide fram it
W'en dem gi' you di lickle wage packit Fus dem rab it wid dem big tax rackit Y'u haffi struggle fi mek ends meet An' w'en y'u goh a y'u bed y'u jus' can't sleep
Inglan is a b*tch There's no escapin' it Inglan is a b*tch A noh lie mi a tell, a true
Mi use to work dig ditch w'en it cowl noh b*tch Mi did strang like a mule, but bwoy, mi did fool Den awftah a while mi jus' stap dhu ovahtime Den awftah a while mi jus' phu dung mi tool
Inglan is a b*tch There's no escapin' it Inglan is a b*tch Y'u haffi know how fi survive in it
Well mi dhu day wok an' mi dhu nite wok Mi dhu clean wok an' mi dhu dutty wok Dem seh dat black man is very lazy But if y'u si how mi wok y'u woulda sey mi crazy
Inglan is a b*tch There's no escapin' it Inglan is a b*tch Y'u bettah face up to it
Dem a have a lickle facktri up inna Brackly Inna disya facktri all dem dhu is pack crackry Fi di laas fifteen years dem get mi laybah Now awftah fifteen years mi fall out a fayvah
Inglan is a b*tch There's no escapin' it Inglan is a b*tch There's no runnin' whey fram it
Mi know dem have work, work in abundant Yet still, dem mek mi redundant Now, at fifty-five mi gettin' quite ol' Yet still, dem sen' mi fi goh draw dole
Inglan is a b*tch There's no escapin' it Inglan is a b*tch Is whey wi a goh dhu 'bout it?
