Them say we sinking into sin
A really cope we a cope
Cause most of us millenials just clinging for hope
This madness make we question everything wah we know
And all the structures we were given is going up in smoke
So this is just the result of a spirit provoked
The monster you created when you take us for joke
And now you pree me as the Frankenstein
But I'm really still your little child

And mi ah bawl Aaaah Oh Lawd
Ye mi a bawl Aaaah Oh Lawd
Mi haffi bawl Aaaah Oh Lawd
Aaaah 'Low mi mek mi bawl

Oh Lawd Oh Lawd
Mi a bawl fi yute who work so hard and still can't get a chance
Mi a bawl fi di yute who study fi di test and still can't get a pass
Mi a bawl fi di yute who stumble when dem trod di narrow path
Mi a bawl di di yute who bare dem soul and Fyah bun dem heart
Mi a bawl fi di yute who live in love and learn say life no fair
Mi a bawl fi di yute who bawling out and no one seems to care
Mi a bawl di yute who feel the weight is more than they can bear
I beg you please just hang in there all when yuh haffi bawl

Aaaah!
O Lawd
Ye mi a bawl Aaaah Oh Lawd
Mi haffi bawl Aaaah Oh Lawd

Weeping endures for a night
But joy cometh in the morning light
Weeping endures for a night
I know Father God him hear my cry
Weeping endures for a night
But joy cometh in the morning light
Weeping endures for a night
I know Father God him hear my cry
