1. Mi Affi Talk It Plain
Jah know star, yuh see di pressure weh pon di likkle man ina Jamaica? Food price high, light bill high, school fee mash up people head. Everywhere mi go mi hear di same cry: “Poor people fed up!”
Even Pastor pon pulpit a talk, an Bounty Killa long time drop di tune – but di message still relevant today.
So hear mi now – dis article yah ago show yuh why di struggle real, di trap weh poor people stuck ina, di misconception weh mash dem up, an di step dem fi lift up yuh life. Caw complaining alone nah go solve it.
2. Why Dis A Happen
Di system build fi poor people stay ina cycle. Look pon it:
-
Nuff man an woman wuk whole week an cyaan pay rent.
-
Minimum wage cyaan match di supermarket shelf.
-
Government promise “better life,” but a pure tax an pressure drop pon di small man.
Emotional side? People tired. Some cyaan sleep cause bill overdue. Some shame cause dem cyaan send pickney school neat. Dat stress mash up family an mash up health.
3. Wah Nah Work
-
Myth 1: Just wuk harder an yuh life betta. (If hard wuk alone bring wealth, every cane cutter woulda millionaire).
-
Myth 2: Politics a go save yuh. (PNP, JLP – same cycle, promises sweet but delivery dry).
-
Myth 3: Quick hustle or lotto ticket a di answer. (Ninety-nine time outta hundred, dat lef yuh broker).
4. Di How Fi Break Di Cycle
Step 1: Fix Yuh Mindset
Poor nuh just a pocket ting, it a mindset. Believe seh yuh can grow beyond survival.
Step 2: Skill Up
Di world now digital. Learn online skill – graphics, coding, content, trading. Skill bigger dan degree sometimes.
Step 3: Start Small Business or Side Hustle
Nuh wait pon big bank loan. Start wid wah yuh have – fry fish, sell clothes online, rent yuh taxi part-time.
Step 4: Organize Yuh Money
Budget every dollar. Stop tek style an flash when pocket empty.
Step 5: Link Up Wid Positive Network
Find like-minded hustlers. If yuh link wid drainers, yuh stay stuck.
5. Pastor & Bounty Killa Translation
When Pastor seh “God naw sleep” – him mean yuh cyaan just bawl, yuh haffi act pon faith.
When Bounty seh “Poor People Fed Up” – a real cry fi justice, but also a call fi wake up an stop wait pon savior.
Combine dem: Faith + Action = Freedom.
