Am telling you
Day in, day out
Am trying to find the way out
Seems there's always a trap
Seems like 4 steps forward
A five steps back
But am telling you
Day in, day out
Am trying to find the way out
Seems there's always a trap
Seems like 4 steps forward
A five steps back
The landlord him just a pressure my days
Mi feel like him waan get mi out a him place
A 6 months now mi no pay the rent date
And him come a tell mi seh it raise
Mi just lose mi work but mi nah lose mi pay
Still have mi likkle wagon so a hustling straight
Poppine to down town without the red plate
Now mi car deh pon the wrecker back
How mi go pay
Just tek mi last pay the doctor bill wooy
Still have the prescription fi fill
Tho mi cyaa buy the name brand pill
Wa mi do, hold the generic, carry on still
I don't want much
My only desire is fi just keep mi pot pon the fire
Clothe paw mi back respect to build a fire
And fi be a father figure fi mi youth dem admire
But it's like against me the system a conspire
Fi just keep mi down in a the muck and the mire
Cause seet deh mi just get fire
Police tek weh the whole car plus it all waan tire
But I keep faith in a the messiah
Gwaan read mi bible, mi gwan seh mi prayer
Mi aunty a England 1001bs shi wire
Mi go buy a weed wacker garden of a hire yea
No watch no face
No walla in a pain and sorrow
Caw my day must come
It might be tomorrow
So mi stay pon the straight and the narrow
And mi nah stray, no mi stray like a arrow
Construction sight gwaan push a barrow
Work fi mi own mi nah beg and barrow
Bad company mi nah follow
Nah meck dem stress mi out fi mi go smoke and parrow
Aim fi the stars and the moon like a follow
Gi mi self chance mi a try win the latto
Nah fold mi hand dem, stand up like statue
Mi done tell nankel, Pumpkin and kalallo
