Day One

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Yeah
Dem say good friend better than pocket change
And big yard never change
Out Clear

Poppa tell me work hard inna life
Him say, "Son keep holding on"
Yeah
Fi all the struggles weh me face inna life
Focus, 'cause it won't be long
Mama tell me, put me hand 'pon me chest
Feel me heart and be sure there is a God
Because a nuff youth lif weh harder than mine
Still find time fi chant a psalms

And me know say, one day a better a go come
Fi the youths inna the slum weh eye water can almost full a drum
One day better, we a go see fi the youths inna the street
Weh a tuff it out fi feed dem family
A one day we haffi get pay, all when we no see no way
Jah know, hard life set away
Me do this fi the youths inna the slum, weh waan poverty done
So dem can food when night come

So if you take a look inna big yard life
There we a smile but nothing no alright
Pocket dem empty, so no food cyaan buy
Tired fi see the tears inna we juvenile eye
Waan mek it better fi done with hard life
Me no waan see no gun, fi true, me nah lie
Me no waan think fi go bruk shop this year
Waan see the table a spin, me swear

And me know say, one day a better a go come
Fi the youths inna the slum weh eye water can almost full a drum
One day better, we a go see fi the youths inna the street
Weh a tuff it out fi feed dem family
A one day we haffi get pay, all when we no see no way
Jah know, hard life set away
Me do this fi the youths inna the slum, weh waan poverty done
So dem can food when night come

Jah, please guide me, every day
'Cause my life ain't easy
Mama cry today
And as long as I live, to You I pray
And I know You hear the words I say
Oh

And me know say, one day a better a go come
Fi the youths inna the slum weh eye water can almost full a drum
One day better, we a go see fi the youths inna the street
Weh a tuff it out fi feed dem family
A one day we haffi get pay, all when we no see no way
Jah know, hard life set away
Me do this fi the youths inna the slum, weh waan poverty done
So dem can food when night come

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Yeah
Dem say good friend better than pocket change
And big yard never change
Out Clear

One day a better a go come
Fi the youths inna the slum weh eye water can almost full a drum
One day better, we a go see fi the youths inna the street
Weh a tuff it out fi feed dem family
A one day we haffi get pay, all when we no see no way
Jah know, hard life set away
Me do this fi the youths inna the slum, weh waan poverty done
