| I’m gonna smoke til my eyes them red like fire
 | 
| Read a couple page and chant out two prayer,
 | 
| For the weak for the poor the long time sufferer
 | 
| The one when evening come they can’t find no supper,
 | 
| The youths them have to bathe up in a cold water,
 | 
| A family getaway is a non-starter
 | 
| Every day is grim and like in get carter…
 | 
| And though times hard and money short there’ll be sunshine in the face of the
 | 
| people,
 | 
| Whether they are walkathon or have corn to put gas in their vehicle (s),
 | 
| And though times hard and money short consumer goods are produced by poor
 | 
| people,
 | 
| When nuff of them are walkathon and have no corn to put gas in their vehicle (s)
 | 
| So for these words these sounds these powers I’m giving you my — thanks and
 | 
| praise,
 | 
| Giving me the strength to believe that there’ll be — brighter days
 | 
| These words these sounds these powers I’m giving you my — thanks and praise,
 | 
| Give me strength and conviction — to go on
 | 
| Me nah go drink up too much of the firewater cos it’s a deeper vibration I&I ah
 | 
| call for,
 | 
| As a herbsman I smoke and meditate like Rasta,
 | 
| For there’s a whole heap of questions and and I want some answer (s),
 | 
| Why a station inna space and no cure for cancer?
 | 
| How much more have to dead to put oil in a tanker?
 | 
| Why man locking up for weed but them ah free the banker?
 | 
| We nah go take none of the sympathy neither,
 | 
| You don’t see nuff ghetto youths ah turn riddim rider,
 | 
| Courthouse and jailhouse them sick of lock up inside of,
 | 
| I don’t condone the badness or the things that ain’t right sir,
 | 
| Do things to make your family proud your future brighter,
 | 
| Here what I’m saying my friend just push up you lighter — and smoke til your
 | 
| eyes them red like fire…
 | 
| Although times and money short there’ll be sunshine in the face of the people,
 | 
| Whether they are walkathon or have corn to go put gas in their vehicle (s),
 | 
| And when times hard and money short consumer goods are produced by poor people,
 | 
| And nuff of them are walkathon and have no corn to go put gas in their
 | 
| vehicle (s)
 | 
| So for these words these sounds these powers I’m giving you my thanks and
 | 
| praise,
 | 
| They’re giving me the strength to believe that there’ll be — brighter days,
 | 
| These words these sounds these powers I’m giving you my — thanks and praise,
 | 
| They’re giving me the strength and conviction to move on,
 | 
| So for these words these sounds these powers I’m giving you my thanks and
 | 
| praise,
 | 
| They’re giving me the strength to believe that there’ll be — brighter days,
 |

 | 
| They’re giving me the strength and conviction to move on,
 | 
| Giving me the strength… The conviction…
 |
