(Chorus)
Caw the youth dem a struggle
Every youth haffi hustle
When yo si the youth dem a struggle
The ghetto youth dem a hustle
Den yo no si seh time hard out deh
Man a suffer like dog out deh
Yo no si seh time hard out deh
Yow time hard out deh
(Verse 1)
Want a food an cant afford it
9 to 5 dem cyaa approach it
Dem no have no bed dem haffi card board it
Hurt mi fi talk bout it
But mi faithful, jah have a plan fi gi dem
Mi give thanks when mi have a grand fi gi dem
An mi no have no house an land fi gi dem
That’s why mi sing a song fi gi dem
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Things rough an the youths dem no have it
Government treat the youth dem crabbit
An mi naw support dem habit
When dem si first an grab it
Me naw tell nobody that’s right
Hungry night wi know wa that’s like
So when yo si the youth dem up a the stop light
Dem a work fi better dem life
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Government just know wa unu up to
Better watch unu code a conduct to
Teacher strike so dem naw go a work to
Police, soldier a ball seh dem broke to
Next thing mi need fi bring up
Dem take wi tax money buy car an truck to
Nuff a dem a migrate an cut
The system unjust an corrupt
(Repeat Chorus 2X)
