lyrics

FAMILY MAN
WRITTEN BY PJ HIGGINS / DUBULAH

Woah
Him a di family man yes
Woah
Him a di family man yes
Say a di one Cameron
Woah
Him a di family man yes
 
He’s a family man
Family man
 
His girl is called Samantha-used to live in Notting Hill
He thinks he’s like the rest of us but that’s a bitter pill
I live a couple of miles away and can’t afford the rent
My money’s all spent
 
We’re in this thing together, said hes just like you and me
Embrace him like a brother welcome to my family
 
He’s a family man – Him a di family man yes
Him a di family man yes – Say a di one Cameron
He’s a family man – Him a di family man yes
Him a di family man yes – Say a di one Cameron – oh (REPEAT)
 
With the rising of inflation you curtail my liberty
I’m sitting here in darkness there’s no money on my key
No I’m not in Gaza I just cant afford the fuel
How could you be so cruel?
 
David – You’ve had your chance, its time to go
And next time round you won’t get the vote
We’re sick and tired of all your lies
You have no concept of our lives
 
He’s a family man
If you wanna trade places with me then come lets go
Family man
I bet you wouldn’t last one week in a flat eating beans on toast
 
Scrimp and save and sign on
Everyday you look for work but there’s none
All the while you’re trying to dodge eviction
Every time you raise your head a bill comes – OH
  
Rule di country – A tom foolery
You never listen once to what di people dem say
Say you nah one of us, no ride  pon bus
Mi can’t find the fare you nuh no ‘bout  rough
Come to mi crib, before we get rid
Let me show you what yuh last policy did – EH
Patronising, need reminding – Boarding school mi never go inside it
 
Family man
He’s a family man
He’s a family man….
 
David you’re my brother but you cant be listening
That’s why when re-election comes – you know you’ll never win
You’ve burnt down all your bridges and you’ve severed all your links
So here’s what I think    X 2
 
He’s a Family man
He’s a Family man
He’s a Family man
He’s a Family man
