Bob Marley - Them Belly Full (But We Hungry) Lyrics






Na-na na na-na na na na;
Na-na na na-na na na na;
Na-na na na-na na na na;
Na-na na na-na na na na.

Them belly full, but we hungry;
A hungry mob is a angry mob.
A rain a-fall, but the dutty tough;
A yot a-yook, but d' yood no 'nough.

You're gonna dance to Jah music, dance;
We're gonna dance to Jah music, dance, oh-ooh!

Forget your troubles and dance!
Forget your sorrows and dance!
Forget your sickness and dance!
Forget your weakness and dance!

Cost of livin' gets so high,
Rich and poor they start to cry:
Now the weak must get strong;
They say, "Oh, what a tribulation!"
Them belly full, but we hungry;
A hungry mob is a angry mob.
A rain a-fall, but the dutty tough;
A pot a-yook, but d' yood* no 'nough.

We're gonna chuck to Jah music - chuckin';
We're chuckin' to Jah music - we're chuckin'.

A belly full, but them hungry;
A hungry mob is a angry mob.
A rain a-fall, but the dutty tough;
A pot a-cook, but d' food* no 'nough.
A hungry man is a angry man;
A rain a-fall, but the dutty tough;
A pot a-yook, but you no 'nough'
A rain a-fall, but the dutty tough.
A pot a-cook, but you no 'nough;
A hungry mob is a angry mob;
A hungry mob is a angry mob. /fadeout/

[*Sheet music gives this line as: "A pot a cook but you no' nough".]

    Salut Dear Youtubers . Normalement je devrais etre en colère.La vie m'aide a me calmer.A hungry mob is an angry mob.La faim peut etre physiologique voire spirituelle. Qui peut comprendre quelqu'un qui meurt de faim spirituellement?Accrochez vous chers youtubers ne laissez jamais tomber la poursuite du Vrai Bonheur ou si vous voulez L' Autheur De La Vie , ou, Le Createur.La Fecilicité ou le Bonheur Supreme Je suis entouré de sophistes ici au Cybercafé d'ou j'envoie le message.
    A quoi ressemblent ils ? Au gens qui venèrent la demi connaissance....consacrent leur temps a profaner le Sacré , les cybercrimminels ils confondaient les personnages dommage et en plus ils appartiennent au Poubelles De l'Histoire Cosmique. Donc, In God We trust . En general ils ne vont pas loins dans les etudes et c'est des demi lettrés.Au fait tout ce que je sais c'est que je ne sais pas
    J'avais trop envie de versifier avec des vers , des alexandrins en Rap . Claude m'aide .Enough respect to M.C Solaar. Hey Bigger si j'avais un problème tu m'aidrais je le sais.Merci Bigger
    Vous savez quoi chers youtubers le rapper convertit l'energie negative en energie positive et c'est ce qui donne de la puissance a son phrasé.
    The Power of The Pen is writting down the Page of Life , yeah. En ce moment j'ai beaucoup de colère accumulée en moi, mais comme Laars le dit ,Je balançe des rimes pour les gens qui positivent.Thanks Laars ça m'aide.Survival skills dear survivors, a clue turn immediately the negative situation into a positive situation.How?Listen that's all.
    Naturally listening deals with music .Authoring deals with also music.music or the Sound is always with you.Silent or noise Speaking or being in a tacit attitude. Authoring means create something from yourself authoring meaans also music. The quikest way to create is with Music _ speaking ; listening melody echoes and so on so forth....Remember create something which uplift the entire human race and Life and create a better for you for me and the entire human race. Thanks Michael Jackson. NowLyrics mine, Stone. I'm done. With understanding I can't stand dear humans beings . What is god ? A simple mail which is shot. Througout the p.o Box oh baby . I can't stand the Fox so crazy. But the who's the fox if not my own ways. I follow the Creator or Evil im not aware if I do it everyday I do really believe In God we trust. But its Workers have all burst. Continents of the South . Not developped people over there will never be sought . Appearance,Ooooh
    But I'm blind forever all at once ...Noooo


    May be they've never seen IT.



    Oh verifier les gars on a tous deux pieds de mains cinq doigts deux yeux de oreilles mais on est pas humains ...Estamos tontos porque noquremos la utilisacion de la accion podemos Ah , El Poder... .Ah j'avais oublié je suis défiguré fracas mandibulaire et fracture des deux femur mais je remarche .In God we trust.
    L'habit fait le moine pour certain.. triste de constater ça mais penser mieux que cela fait plutot du du bien
    Il fallait que ça sorte.
    Maintenant dans un tout autre ordre d'idée;

    Hey .... Hyperboreista,
    I'm not ECKista I'm an ECKist AhAhAhAhAhAhAh!!!!!
    For you have chosen Egoïsta Dossou
    But I'm Georges Life Lovista( Life Lover)Dossou
    Hey ...Hyperboreista
    You 've chosen to follow your Masta(Master) Egoïsta
    He led you nowhere and now you gonna be, you gonna be the laughing stocka baby yeah( laughing stock) you gonna be, you gonna be the laughing stocka yeah
    And I'll add more
    It just remember me Hey Joe from Jimmmmmmy Hendrix
    If you want guys you can adjust it withe instrumental of "Hey Joe
    All I wanted was my Life Speech or Life Discourses(L D) because you see
    (LDs) are U.S dollars or Greens if you want.As It helps being creative enough find ways to gain you Greens. It in tune with Times.Sometimes it appears as the creative to obtain your Greens , sometimes you inherit from Taxes, Administration, Government Position, sometimes it 's about Gold extraction, sometimes it may appears as Diamond Lightnings or Golds Coins Rains etc...
    Today it deals with have your Greens and your children to Stanford , Yale , Harvard, Princeton, having the best Health Insurance, buying a serveral billion dollars House in Beverly Hills, Invest in New York Stock Exchange activities, financial ressources for the Senatorial Campaign orRepresentative; by the way I love being a Congressman.Oh I wanted to be a Texas Senator in Congress of the United States. I would have done Welfare State Reform. To sum up my program if you don't work you don't eat.No more food tickets.

    In that program there would have the Health Insurance Reform.If one goesto hospital and don't have the full fees to cover its expense one should General Interest Work Pay something back for what has receive as a financial support.It could cleaning the toilet it could befor intance painting the public building walls and so on so forth.You see it's normal. It'a matter of Giving and Recieving.That's Life is about.
    Of course as I'm Republican; Securities Issues.People don't understand generally the National Rifle Association.You know it something which is good.Of course I do understand what happened in Colombine -Colorado dear victim families dear victims I'm with you.I 'm creating about setting mankind aid sessions and worskhops which will be fostered by humanists and the Pentagone.More Later
    Loving The United States, Loving you Country.
    Thanks Bob Lawton.
    The Human Promise is "I am always noble with Life"/La Promesse de L' Humanité est "Je suis toujours noble avec la Vie"
    The Mankind Ancient Blessing is" I am always noble with Life"/L' Ancienne Bénédiction du Genre Humain est " Je suis toujours noble avec la Vie"

    Debbie Marquis it was the same for many people in New Zealand after his final tour in 1980.. he offers such unique spiritual & musical maturity. Respect & love always to Robert Nesta Marley

  52. S.... ....

    I am just tripping on the "round" attack on the bass notes in this. I think I detect an overdubbed pick or fingernail strike on many of the notes. It's sublime!!! There was some serious "ducking" going on at the engineer's desk!!!
