Yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Yeeeaaaahhh
Boom!
I man get a little job
And waan fi move from bout yah
Seh I waan move uptown
Go live a Mona
I find a little house pon di avenue
It look good from outside
But I never know nineteen other people live inside.
It is a uptown tenement yard
A move into a damn tenement yard
Oh-oh!
They say it's for the working class
A living in a uptown tenement yard
Ohh Lawd
Dem just a watch everything you do
And Chat everything you do
Wake every morning with them face just a screw
Mi haffi wonder more while if yuh nuh have nothing fi do
Have so much time fi see me, yet mi Naah pree you
Rastaman hold di order

Propaganda in small space will not do
So all of unnu can tan deh a suh suh suh suh suh

Inna di uptown tenement yard
A move into a damn tenement yard

Yuh see a lot a hot girls, heading to work sah
And yuh nuh haffi ask weh di whole a dem come from

It is a uptown tenement yard
A move into a damn tenement yard

A living in a uptown tenement yard
Ohh Lawd

They say it's for the working class, working class, working class
Oh I want to leave here real fast
