(Intro)
The father help those who help themselves
Man haffi work hard fi meck them wealth
Inna this yah time yah
Inna this yah day an age yah
Cyaa have no lazy behavior
(Chorus)
Mi tell dem if a pot fi scower
If a road fi sweep
From a goods fi sell mi wi touch the street
Mi wi tar the roof if the roof a leek
Mi naw itch up inna mi house like mi sweet
Mi tell dem from a tune fi play inna dance mi bleach
From car fi wash me wi dweet
And if a work fi mash naw grin no teeth
Mi naw gwaan like mi meat can eat
(Verse 1)
From mi a likkle youth mi a hunt fi mi bread
Never itch up inna the house a hurt up mummy head
Nor no dan could a never gimmi gun fi go dead
No politician couldn’t gimmi no green nor no red
Who mi rather take it pon a work site
Pon the plantation a slave mi a work like
All when hungry a turn tripe
Haffi meck sure seh mi likle girl right
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 2)
No matter how small it is
My all mi give
Fi leave a legacy like Bob fi the Marley kids
Mi a youth wa have big dreams
From black and white days to now watching big screen
This yah bwoy yah full a ambition
So pass mi the gleaner meck mi search out the classified edition
Am a natural hustler
If a no work mission
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Verse 1)
(Repeat Chorus)
