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
And the tougher they be (Mikey and Wilson haffi tell you) are the softer dem a squeeze, hey

Longtime dem a susu pon di rootsman song
Demma no know wha, demma no know wha, dem a talk about
Longtime dem a chat over di rootsman sound
Dem talk too much and spread the rumour all around

Dem tell seh we a telling dem, dem they know what dem say
We a tell dem, yo dem fi know what dem seh

Cah they don't know what they talking 'bout

Yes, the harder they come (yes, dem always come)
Are the quicker dem a run (Rootsman on the land)
And the tougher they be are the softer dem a squeeze will, hey
Yes, the harder they come (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Are the quicker dem a run (run where?)
And the tougher they be (Mikey General and Wilson)
Yes dem have to please, yeah

Peace over the wickedness (was), light over the darkness
Love it a the answer (yeah, wow, whoo) and me seh no bad no conquer lo
Peace over the wickedness (here them talking), light over the darkness, yeah-ah
Love it a the answer, yeah, when me seh no bad no conquer

Lord of mercy, me seh no bad, no conquer, no bad a bring

Right pon mi side no want no backstabbing
Cah Mikey General and Wilson write everything

And the tougher they be and the faster dem a flee, hey
And the harder they come are the quicker dem a run (whoo, yeah)
And the tougher they be (Mikey General and Wilson) are the softer dem ah squeeze
Yeah, yeah, yeah-eh
