Gold spoon inna mouth, me never get none   More time nothing to eat, not even bread crumb   Drink the water from my eye when it a run down   Quench my emotions      Confuse, so me tek up all a big gun   Robbing people for needs that is not fun   Babylon jailhouse, think me life done   Five years detention      Jah will never give you more than you can bear   It?s so obvious and it?s crystal clear now   Jah will never leave I lonely   He?ll take me through the ruffest times      I will trust in the almighty, He will help me to get by   Though the system is all messed up   My meditation is very high, Jah will never leave I lonely   He?ll take me through the ruffest times      Look a work all now me no get none   Me girl a breed and time it a come down   No money, no cash, not a loan sum   Goose over cook and burn      Hypocrites, backbiters, them all come   Gun shot, turf war, mek me all run   Loud noise, siren, dirty cops come   Things take a different turn      Jah will never give you more than you can bear   It?s so obvious and it?s crystal clear now   Jah will never leave I lonely   He?ll take me through the ruffest times      I will trust in the almighty, He will help me to get by   Though the system is all messed up   My meditation is very high, Jah will never leave I lonely   He?ll take me through the ruffest times
