Inglan Is a Bitch Lyrics

W´en mi jus´ come to Landan toun

Mi use to work pan di andahgroun

But workin´ pan di andahgroun

Y´u don´t get fi know your way around



Inglan is a bitch

Dere´s no escapin it

Inglan is a bitch

Dere´s no runnin´ whey fram it



Mi get a lickle jab in a bih ´otell

An´ awftah a while, mi woz doin´ quite well

Dem staat mi aaf as a dish-washah

But w´en mi tek a stack, mi noh tun clack-watchah



Inglan is a bitch

Dere´s no escapin it

Inglan is a bitch

No baddah try fi hide fram it



W´en dem gi´ you di lickle wage packit

Fus dem rab it wid dem big tax rackit

Y´u haffi struggle fi mek en´s meet

An´ w´en y´u goh a y´u bed y´u jus´ can´t sleep



Inglan is a bitch

Dere´s no escapin it

Inglan is a bitch

A noh lie mi a tell, a true



Mi use to work dig ditch w´en it cowl noh bitch

Mi did strang like a mule, but bwoy, mi did fool

Den awftah a while mi jus´ stap dhu ovahtime

Den awftah a while mi jus´ phu dung mi tool
