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 CHORUS (2x) 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?
