(Verse 1)
Look pon the watch 1 2 3 o clock
Deh pon the work an mi hand still a scratch
A from 6 mi wake an still no food no deh pon mi plate
Go ATM fi go collect mi stash
Push in mi card an it spit it out back
Mi no get the pay an the boss still deh pon him way
(Chorus)
Mi know seh it rough but still mi haffi press on
Likkle sweat never kill no body yet
From mi likkle an a grow mama though mi a listen
If you want good yo nose haffi wet
Mi know seh it rough but still mi haffi press on
Likkle sweat never kill no body yet
From mi likkle an a grow mama though mi a listen
Hold the faith don’t give up just press on
(Verse 2)
Look pon the watch five days after that
Mi reach work gate but now a ten o clock
The boss lock him gate
And seh no let no body in a him place
Stand up a the gate an mi naw turn back
One month mi work mi fi get pay fi that
Him seh a no fi mi date
But mi still a gwaan hold the faith
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Mi catty deh a foreign waan file fi mi
Mi friend a look a visa fi buy fi mi
Dem si how hard mi a work an dem a cry fi mi
Dem all a ask father god fi apply fi mi
And fi mi youths mi haffi gwaan like mi really steady
Cause mi haffi put food pon di brown table
Cyan drive a range now but mi soon able
Remember Jah a mi father so mi go able
(Repeat Chorus)
(Outro)
One day yeh things a go better
Worries a wi bread an it no light like feather
One day must si the sunshine weather
Show mama two house an ask are which one shi prefer
One day things must get better
Worries a wi bread an it no light like feather
One day must si the sunshine weather
Gwaan hold the faith yaw mi brother
(Repeat Chorus)
