Harder They Come, Quicker They Run
Mikey General and Wilson (listen, what we sing for, yeah)
Crucial combination
(Special request fi all the roots man, nobody fi control the roots man sound)
Wilson and Mikey General
(Telling about there is one song brought from Spain and from Jamaica land)
Whoa, whoa (tell about it, Jah)
I seh the harder they come, are the quicker dem a run (always dem a run)
And the tougher they be, are the faster dem a flee well, hey
Yes, the harder they come (ride me up insane) are the quicker dem a run (roots inna di vein)
And the tougher they be (to the bounty Jah) are the softer dem a squeeze, hey
I see dem looking, trying to get me scared (tell dem, General)
But I'm a lion heart and we no walk in fear
Nothing they do and nothing they say
Can make me shake or feel a way (ah-ah)
Come make me tell you me say your bad mind
Righteous it a mi sign, strong like a lion inna dis ya rough time
After number eight, I tell you always come nine
Life is joy, let your sun come shine
Listen, dis your message from a combination
Outer nationally big seh spreading all around
Bad man have to run, mi a tell you better must come
Right now mi suffer in dis ya wicked Babylon
Seh the harder they come, are the quicker dem a run (whoo, yeah)
And the tougher they be (always dem a run) are the faster dem a flee, hey
Yes, the harder they come (yeah, yeah) are the quicker dem a run
