True, true... true true, true, true... |
|
True true |
|
True, true... true true, true, true |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Times well hard and they are today |
|
But if you don't work then you won't get paid |
|
Many obstacles come along the way |
|
Overcome yutes overcome |
|
Many are called but the chosen few |
|
Nothin in this world that you can do |
|
If you work hard then you will pull through, overcome, overcome |
|
[Verse 1:] |
|
The reason dat we call dat one yah overcome |
|
Because some likkle yutes movin oh so dumb |
|
Sit down hardly nuttin |
|
And they waan things come |
|
And they nuh pressure people |
|
Bout they waan income |
|
Young, baby fadda caan feed him son |
|
And any girl he dun seh him need him gun |
|
Get gun tek gun rob Mr. Chung |
|
Five innocent people get licked down because |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Times well hard and they are today |
|
But if you don't work then you won't get paid |
|
Many obstacles come along the way |
|
Overcome yutes overcome |
|
Many are called but the chosen few |
|
Nothin in this world that you can do |
|
Work hard for your dreams |
|
And they will come true, overcome, overcome |
|
[Verse 2:] |
|
Everyday yuh get up, livin like a bum |
|
But if yuh waan good |
|
Memba yuh nose haffi go run |
|
Get up brush up tek yourself out a di slum |
|
And go find a trade, and mek somethin fun |
|
Don't drown your stress inna smoke or rum |
|
So much dro dem would put yuh undaground |
|
Set up buss all likkle food and likkle bun |
|
So when di week dun yuh nah fi beg nobody none |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Times well hard and they are today |
|
But if you don't work then you won't get paid |
|
Many obstacles come along the way |
|
Overcome, overcome |
|
Many are called but the chosen few |
|
Nothin in this world that you can do |
|
If you work hard then you will pull through overcome, overcome |
|
[Verse 1] |

[Chorus: till end] |
