| You know better than I oh lord
|
| What we say?
|
| We know the pressure great but we ah brace
|
| Cause ah so it go
|
| We haffi strong to hold a space right down here so
|
| They won’t love we as ourselves oh no
|
| It’s a known fact say we come from the ghetto
|
| We know the pressure great but we ah brace
|
| Cause ah so it go
|
| We haffi strong to hold a space right down here so
|
| They won’t love me as myself oh no
|
| It’s a known fact say me come from the ghetto
|
| Nuff ah dem ah say how them genuine yet them no pure
|
| Even though you see we so, we radical to the core
|
| How better we fi look when you know say we poor?
|
| When we all ah rise you all ah sink we even more
|
| We this, nothing new, nothing nah hide
|
| We no try false pretence we haffi show the true side
|
| When I’m being myself, this is what I symbolize —
|
| Life on a whole, so be wise
|
| Well after you set all your traps tell me where do I stand?
|
| Because where I’m at you say that’s where you belong
|
| Living the past and the present, the future is at hand
|
| Having know idea where the meal ah come (from)
|
| It hurt us just the way you jump in
|
| And the little lust… beans
|
| Yo we sacrifice yet we rejoice there was life from the Supreme
|
| Nuff of unnu up there so heart, it no clean
|
| I say, if whichever way you turn, be stronger
|
| That’s what I learn
|
| If no one concerned 'bout life they never earn
|
| Whether you’re weak or fit we haffi live
|
| This is for all fools and the wise hearted |
