(It Was A ) Crime of Passion

1. Jorge, he luv Tomika but Tomika don’ care.
She say she luv Toni; Jorge she cannot bear.
Toni shoot down Jorge one sunny afternoon.
Now, Tomika spend Jorge’s money; Toni hangs next June.
Chorus:
It was a crime of passion, a shame, a sin. A sad commentary of da state we are in.
No good ta question da reason why; life’s a bitch an’ den you die!
2. Alfred he work in da office all day
Countin’ da bank money den ‘e puut it all away.
One day ‘e decide ta take some money ‘ome.
Now he sleep every night in da jailhouse all alone. (Chorus)
3. Pearl she don’ do nut’in’ at all.
She sit aroun’ an’ eat ‘till she as wide as she is tall.
When you consider da food she put away
You could feed half Jamaica for one whole day! (Chorus)
4. Rich folk sip Crystal an’ sniff da cocain.
Poor folk drink beer ta ease deir pain.
Da middle folk watch footbol on da Sunday TV.
An’ young folk smoke ganja so dey kin live free! (Chorus)
