Busy Signal - Burdens Heavy lyrics
[Busy Signal - Burdens Heavy lyrics]
As I open my eyes, no complaints
I give thanks fi life, fi di
Sun an' fi di rain, yeah
Politician ah look someone fi blame
And dem treat di people inhumane
Wah dem ah stir up, dem system corrupt
Wi cyaan give up, wi haffi live up
Lord, Lord, Lord
Wi haffi carry on, trod along, yeah
First thing as I open my eyes
Give tanks, give tanks, ah ah ah
Mi see di sunset, mi see di sunrise
Give tanks, give tanks, ah ah ah
'Nuff ah drain yuh energy
An' bridge yuh current
'Nuff ah dem inna di dark an' some a
Dem ah talk an' some a dem silent
Beg di Most High di courage an' di strength
Fi rise up inna any event
'Cause even though di burden's heavy
Mi still nah grudge nor envy
Yow, I and I work, mi nuh lazy
Fi what mi waan, mi work, mi nuh lazy
And even when di times get crazy
Some seh dem badda rape eh
Girl and kill di baby
Di wicked, dem nah show nuh mercy
I wonder why dem so blood thirsty
Alright, it hard fi get a job
But still mi nah guh rob
Nuh purse mi nah guh grab
Survive wid weh mi have
Mi ah wonder if some a dem
Yute ah create inna di lab
Some friends weh used to par now ah war
Now it's so sad watch deh
Machine rise ah pure negative trendin'
Jus a few positive tings still pendin'
I ah stand firm, no shake, no bendin'
Watch eh subliminal dem sendin'
'Cause even though di burden's heavy
Mi still nah grudge nor envy
Yow, I and I work, mi nuh lazy
Fi what mi waan, mi work, mi nuh lazy
And even when di times get crazy
Some seh dem badda rape eh
Girl and kill di baby
Di wicked, dem nah show nuh mercy
I wonder why dem so blood thirsty
Ayy, I and I jus ah pray fi
A change inna dem yah time
Ayy, because di less fortunate and poor
People always deh 'pon mi mind
Ayy, some seh dem ah lead but
Granny seh blind nuh lead blind
Joke ting dat nah fi gwaan nuh time
Some nuh have nuh regards fi mankind
'Cause even though di burden's heavy
Mi still nah grudge nor envy
Yow, I and I work, mi nuh lazy
Fi what mi waan, mi work, mi nuh lazy
And even when di times get crazy
Some seh dem badda rape eh
Girl and kill di baby
Di wicked, dem nah show nuh mercy
