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
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 ruffest 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 ruffest 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
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 ruffest 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 ruffest times
