Times so hard, times so hard...
Getting serious, oh lord, but I
Stand tall for my children, stay strong for my wife
Stand tall for everybody out there fighting to survive
I see too many people going to bed hungry tonight
Before I see them suffer, I will sacrifice my life
Too many songs we sing but nothing change
Time to stop talk and rearrange
Take a look out there I swear
Everything is still the same
Make a nickel then you have to spend a nickel then
You save a likkle politician take a likkle yeah
Soon it all gone, spent all me money from dusk 'till dawn
As long as I keep standing on these two feet
I will never back down no way
Ever strong and ever firm we a teach and we a learn every minute of every day
Easy to stress and cry, hold your head down and keep it all inside
Me a tell unoo fi dry your eyes, claim your prize
Too many songs we sing but nothing change
Time to stop talk and rearrange
Take a look out there I swear
Everything is still the same
Nothing nuh pretty the road getting so tricky
And its making me itchy so how we fi be happy
In this season, we haffi sit down and reason
