Promise is a comfort to a fool
But I ain't dumb (I see their deception)
Don't you try to show me like you right
Everybody knows you wrong
Well here comes tomorrow
So I place my bet (natty nah go lose sah)
What you give, man, that's what you'll get, yo!
Life is my concept, oh
(A) Oh problems and problems we riding on 
Tribulation upon tribulation
Say we riding on
Come what may, come what may
Night and day we riding on, we riding on
Man through stormy weather yo!
We riding, on and on, we riding on
We riding on and on and on and on and on, yeah!
I ain't got no time to lose over spilled milks and 
stumbling blocks (it's good over evil)
Turbulent times and the storm is ragin yet we will 
survive
Many days can't find no bread
Many nights no place to rest my head, uhh (natty keep 
on riding)
You never stand ina the fire, oh no, no
So you never get burn, ohh yeahh
Repeat A
Man, oppression couldn't hold us down
Couldn't push us around
Say we riding on, we riding on, oh yeah!
Repeat A
Well oppression couldn't hold us down, ohhy
Tribulation make I the better one, oh yeah (see the 
people fighting, fighting)
Man, oppression make I the better one (natty keep on 
rising)
Yeah, yeah
Make I the tougher, yo! (the heathen keep on fighting, 
fighting)
Tribulation make I the better man (still natty keep on 
rising)
Say we riding on, we riding on
We riding on and on and on and on and on, uhhh
We riding on
Man, oppression couldn't hold us down
Couldn't push us around
We riding on...
