As a context amplifier I'd like to share this little gem, as it explains a lot of what's going on on the planet today.
Barrington was way ahed of his time, and many others like him...

Hypocrites Lyrics

Whoaaaa

[Verse 1:]
I can see so many hypocritism
Everyone are talking this and talking that
Watching how I cook my pot Jah Jah
They always say I'm doing the right thing
And behind me they try to su-su-su-sue unna me
I want to show them that I'm the rasta man
To make the people know my culture
So you see, I've got to stand up on my feet
I've got to carry out my work
Every man got a talent, I got my talent
I've got to show them what it's all about
I've got to say Rastafari

[Verse 2:]
All I can see so many hypocritism
Man and man just fighting against their brother
And if I don't make sure that I'm around the right side
I have to beg Jah for forgiveness
If I cook dumpling Jam-Town gone tell me speak
They always think of me and I don't see them
But one thing more, I've got to control
Excuse me while I smoke my spliff
So you see
You've got a little time to sniff
All I've got is good, good Sensi love
To give you baby, it's just that all I see..
I know well was ???? and me
So many watchy-watchy and beep-beeping at me
All I have seen so many hypocritism
Everyone should show the way
No man should never watch my business
You shouldn't do good things to me to see
I know a man could understand
