Lyrics for Song: Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)
Lyrics for Album: Natty Dread
Them belly full, but we hungry
A hungry mob is a angry mob
A rain a-fall, but the dirt it tough
A pot a-cook, but the food no 'nough
You're gonna dance to Jah music, dance
We're gonna dance to Jah music, dance
Forget your troubles and dance!
Forget your sorrows and dance!
Forget your sickness and dance!
Forget your weakness and dance!
Cost of livin' get so high
Rich and poor, they start to cry
Now the weak must get strong
They say, "Oh, what a tribulation!"
Them belly full, but we hungry
A hungry mob is a angry mob
A fain a-fall, but the dirt it tough
A pot a-cook, but the food no 'nough
We're gonna chuck to Jah Music- chuckin'
We're chuckin' to Jah music- we're chuckin'
A belly full, but them hungry
A hungry mob is a angry mob
A rain a-fall, but the dirt it tough
A pot a-cook, but the food no 'nough
A hungry man is a angry man
A rain a-fall but the dirt it tough
A pot a-cook, but the food no 'nough
A hungry mob is a angry mob
A hungry mob is a angry mob

Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)
Bob Marley's 'Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)' stands as a cornerstone of reggae history, delivered with the infectious rhythm and social consciousness characteristic of his work on the 1976 album 'Natty Dread'. The track addresses the stark contrast between the abundance of food in Jamaica and the widespread hunger plaguing the island's poor, a theme central to the album's critique of systemic inequality. Recorded during a pivotal era for the artist, the song blends traditional Jamaican folk melodies with the upbeat dancehall style that defined Marley's global impact. Its message of solidarity and the call to feed the hungry resonated deeply with audiences worldwide, cementing the track's legacy as an anthem of social justice within the reggae genre. |
