Gold spoon inna mouth, me never get none

More time nothing to eat, not even bread crumb

Drink the water from my eye when it a run down

Quench my emotions.

Confuse, so me tek up all a big gun

Robbing people for needs that is not fun

Babylon jailhouse, think me life done

Five years detention


Chorus

Jah will never give you more than you can bear

It's so obvious and it's crystal clear now

Jah will never leave I lonely

He'll take me through the roughest times.

I will trust in the almighty

He will help me to get by

Though the system is all messed up

My meditation is very high

Jah will never leave I lonely

He'll take me through the roughest times


Look a work all now me no get none

Me girl a breed and time it a come down

No money, no cash, not a loan sum

Goose over cook and burn

Hypocrites, backbiters, them all come

Gun shot, turf war, mek me all run

Loud noise, siren, dirty cops come

Things take a different turn


Chorus repeat…
