UB40 - Tell It Like It Is

Tell It Like It Is
UB40

Chorus
I sus' a tell it like it is, yeah

I sus' a tell it like it is, oh yeah
Jus' like I know 1 + 1 no make 9 Repeat

I've got to be blatant in this time
Now what was I saying about being blatant
You got to make sure your feelings are felt
You got to be blatant in an argument
Watch lying politicians me seh on me T.V.
Perfect example for you from me
Pay big big money for the licence fee

(At the same time them a try fi fool we) Repeat
Chorus

I jus' tell it like it is, yeah
I jus' tell it like it is, oh yeah

I've got .... Etc
I've got to be blatant in this time
Now let me tell me more about being blantant
You got to be blatant me seh
With product you invent
If you don't patent it
You have no money fi go pay up your rent
You nah see a cent
If you crash fi your car
Or you in an accident
If it's not your fault you be blatant

Chorus
I jus' tell it like it is, oh yeah
I jus' tell it like it is, yeah
I've got .... Etc

Now I get serious about being blatant
They say oi' where you going, what you doing here?
I just leave mi house fi go buy a tin of beer
Police come and mess with me pon the pavement
Another example of being blatant
South Africa police a kill the innocent
Fire live ammunition me seh into a crowd
If that's not blatant murder
Then murder can't be found
