Nuh siddung and grumble
Me know seh it hard when you think ′bout life
Nuh have nowhere fi run go
You better be humble
Cah life is a gamble
Like a rolling dice
Nuff youth have it hard
Nuh have nowhere fi sleep when touch a night
Seh it better be easy
And trust Jah Jah beleive me
Cus just like Lazarus
The place inna turmoil
The family bawl when him lose him life
Jah Jah go by the graveside
And roll by the tombstone
And seh Lazarus come you better rise
So you see inna life better open your eyes
When your blessing at the door just let it inside
Tell dem all the while
Jah is always on time
Cause when the eye of the storm is before you
And the thunders come roaring with rain
Job, pray to God be your shelter in the time of the rain
And the sun will come shining again
Cause when the eye of the storm is before you
And the thunders come roaring with rain
Job, pray to God be your shelter in the time of the rain
And the sun will come shining again
You know how much man a curse God cause them nuh own a bimma
