LUMPENPROLETARIAT I wanna love ya and treat you right. I wanna love ya every day and every night. We’ll be together with a roof right over our heads. We’ll share the shelter of our single bed. We’ll share the same room, for Jah provide the bread. Is this love that I’m feeling?
—Messina

LUMPENPROLETARIAT Could you be loved…? Don’t let them fool ya, or even try to school ya. Oh, no! We’ve got a mind of our own. So, go to hell, if what you’re thinking is not right! Love would never leave us alone. In the darkness, there must come out the light…

LUMPENPROLETARIAT—So Jah seh:
“Not one of my seeds
Shall sit in the sidewalk
And beg bread”
(No, they can’t; and you know that they won’t!)
