(Chorus)
Seh mi come from a poverty life
Mi can tell yo what poverty like
Still never run down fame, never run down hype
Work hard everyday and night
Mi seh mi come from a poverty life
Mi can tell yo what poverty like
Still never run down fame, never run down hype
Mi work hard everyday and night
(Verse 1)
Mi never born si no silver or bronze lining
Mi come si mi family face some hard timing
Mi don’t think mi mother ever have a bank book
A whole heap a days no know how the pot cook
Go fi the bread, mi never stop look
Mi know the ice yah even could a turn a hot foot
Walk wid sling shot every night
Shot out deh, that road mi did not took
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Several pan a water weh mi cover early morning
Matter in mi eye, mi tired, mi still yawning
Hard pressure, but poverty keep calling
Hungry bite mi like tix, Mi a pray fi si the garlin
Better must come one day
Better must come one day
Do father god every time mi a pray
Ask him fi guide and protect my way
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Verse 1)
(Repeat Chorus 3X)
