Yes I, greetings. New member here.

I am in a roots band and besides playing originals and classic riddims, we also play covers.

I was hoping someone can help me out with lyrics for Throw Me Corn, a song my group would like to cover.

It is performed by KC White, Ken Lazarus, and others.

Mainly I need help w/the chorus.

"Whyyyy, Why you _________...Whyyy, Why you_________"

If anyone has a full set of lyrics that would be extra nice.

Bless up, to all who read this...AND all who didn't!

I don't know what the man says in the first part after "me throw me corn a..." but here's the rest

me throw me corn a door in a ... suppose you want to pick it up it's your business

whether you are black or you are white
whether you are black or you are white

it is you
it is you

why won't you stop your fussing and your fighting
why won't you stop you stealing and your killing

it is you
i'm talking to
it is you
i'm talking to
