If you don't see me smiling
It got nothing to do with you
My papa been on the rock so long
Inherited a permanent screw
Inherited a permanent screw
Inherited a permanent screw
If you don't see me smiling
It ain't no concern of you
My mama been on the rock for so long
Inherited a permanenet screw
Inherited a permanent screw
Inherited a permanent screw
So you won't even know me
'Cause you can't look me in the eye
Well only then my friend you would see
That I am a rebel in disguise
Said I am a rebel in disguise
And I am a rebel in disguise
We are rebels in disguise
We are rebels in disguise
If you don't catch me smiling
Said I have got serious on my mind
Want to tell you a little story
We are living in a serious time
We are living in a serious time
Said a fire deh, said a fire deh
Fire deh a mus mus tall
You think a cool breeze
Life is real hard
But you think it gonna ease
By letting the pressure pile up on me
The baby crying
You come and ask us for a dollar bill
And we give you ten
Simply mean you should not be coming back again
Simply mean you go home and learn to help yourself
You are putting, you are putting on the pressure
Making it, making it much harder
If you don't see me smiling
It ain't got nothing to do with you
It ain't got nothing to do with you
It ain't got nothing to do with you
Then again you might have done something wrong
And you don't know where you belong
And you don't know where you belong
And you don't know where you belong
So you won't really know us
We are rebels in disgusie
Said I am a rebel in disguise
Said I am a rebel in disguise
And we are rebels in disguise
And we are rebels in disguise
Fire de a mus mus tail
And you think a cool breeze
Your life is real hard but you think it's gonna ease
By letting the pressure pile up on me
