Corruption Reef

Some time ago  a ship ram  the  reef
All our  hearts were full of grief
Natural   treasure  had  been destroyed
Baldy’s  government  was  so  annoyed

To  the  court  he said,” let’s  take  the  gringo”
got  a  private lawyer,  first daughter hit  the  bingo!
Case  was won,  Government  has not monies collected
Deanne  has  sent  her monstrous bill, cool and collected

The  people  of  Belize owe  3.2 million
Even though she was just mommy’s pillion
Daddy  will make sure  she  gets  her  stake
Now, I  wonder how large  is  mommy’s  cake?

This   here  Royal  family  di  rape  and  scrape
They eat all the  bread   and they no even  bake
Out here  things  so hard and they no left  the crumbs
Dis  barrow  Crowd  deh da  lone  scums

Crazy  glue, he knows  them  well
He  said  Barrow  comes  from hell
He  warned dis  crowd  will  ram us in the  reef
Not  even he  knew  they  would get  the  beef

If  this  is not  corruption,  then you can’t  smell
Because  this  stink as hell,  only barrow pockets di  swell
And no  matter  how  much the  truth  he  tries to  dispel
All  this cash  shall  come  straight  from the  gabelle…

The  prime minister  he  gone for his  award
Believe me  that must be some  canard
For the only  thing developing in this  country
Is the  first  family  weh get all di bounty

The  rest of us  live in great  struggle
We  two  cents  we have to juggle fu we li muggle
Meanwhile  they  did drink up,  huggle  and  snuggle
We  have  to go to Melchor  to do we  li  smuggle

Dis no  fair
We  di  start  to flare
We pikni no gat  food, we di despair
We can’t  take  no  more of Barrow’s snare
We country  di  become one big nightmare…
