Tribulation
Dennis Brown And King Tubby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be toiling on home
I'll be myself and no one
I'll keep trodding on
A man must go through tribulation
No matter who or where he's from
If he's a man of understanding
But fools know not of understanding
That's why they stumble
Never going to their way, oh, yeah
For wisdom is hard for them
A man must go through tribulation
No matter who or where he's from
If he's a man of understanding
He then know that time alone will tell
But fools know not of understanding
That's why they stumble
Never going to their way, oh, yeah
For wisdom is hard for them
Rough as the road might seem to be
I'll be toiling on home
I'll be myself and no one
I'll keep trodding on
A man must go through tribulation
No matter who or where he's from
If he's a man of understanding
He then know that time alone will tell
But fools know not of understanding
That's why they stumble
Never going to their way, oh, yeah
For wisdom is hard for them
A man must go through tribulation
No matter who or where he's from
If he's a man of understanding
He then know that time alone will tell
But fools know not of understanding
That's why they stumble
Never going to their way, oh, yeah
For wisdom is hard for them
In this song, Dennis Brown is talking about the hardships of life and how it's important to keep moving forward even when the road seems rough. He emphasizes that no matter who you are or where you come from, you will face tribulations and tough times. As a man of understanding, Brown knows that time will ultimately reveal the path forward, and it's important to keep persisting even when it's difficult.
Brown references the foolish people who don't have understanding and therefore stumble in life. They never know where they're going and struggle because wisdom is hard for them to grasp. In contrast, Brown is committed to being true to himself and staying true to his path no matter what. He is determined to keep trodding on and reaching his destination.
Overall, "This Tribulation" is a message of persistence, wisdom, and understanding in the face of life's challenges. It's about embracing the hardships that come our way and using them as a source of growth and learning.
