Wayne Marshall - Overcome lyrics

True, true, true, true
True, true, true, true
True, true, true, true true, true
Times well hard in the yaad today
But, if you don't work
Then you won't get paid
Many obstacles come along the way
Overcome youths, overcome
Many are called, but the chosen few (So few)
Nothing in this world that you can't do
(Can't do)
If you work hard, then you will pull through
Overcome, overcome

The reason why we call da one yah, "Overcome"
Because some likkle youths moving oh so dumb
Sit down, nah do nothing
And they want things come
And then a pressure people
How dem want income
Young, baby father can't feed him son
And then him tell the Don say
Him need him gun
Get gun, take gun rob Mr chung
Five innocent people get licked down because

Times well hard in the yaad today (Well hard)
But, if you don't work
Then you won't get paid (Everyday)
Many obstacles come along the way
Overcome, overcome
Many are called, but the chosen few
Nothing in this world that you can't do
Work hard for your dreams and
They will come true overcome, overcome

Everyday you get up living like a bum
But, if you want good
'memba your nose haffi go run
Get up, brush off
Take yourself out of the slum
And go find a trade, and make some fun
Don't drown your stress inna smoke and rum
Slow, but sure, dem will put you underground
Set up a stall, likkle bulla, likkle bun
So when the week done you
Nuh haffi beg nobody none

Times well hard in the yaad today
But, if you don't work
Then you won't get paid
Many obstacles come along the way
Overcome, overcome
Many are called, but the chosen few
Nothing in this world that you can't do
If you work hard, then you will pull through
Overcome, overcome

The reason why we call da one yah, "Overcome"
Because some likkle youths moving oh so dumb
Sit down, nah do nothing
And they want things come
And then a pressure people
How dem want income
Young, baby father can't feed him son
And then him tell the Don say
Him need him gun
Get gun, take gun rob Mr chung
Five innocent people get licked down

Times well hard in the yaad today
(Times well hard) but, if you don't work
Then you won't get paid (Overcome)
Many obstacles come along the way
Overcome, overcome
Many are called, but the chosen few
(Many are called)
If you work hard, then you will pull through
(Everyday)
Nothing in this world that you can't do
If you overcome, if you overcome
Times well hard in the yaad today
But, if you don't work
Then you won't get paid (No pay)
Many obstacles come along the way
Overcome, overcome
Many are called, but the chosen few (So few)
Nothing in this world that you can't do
If you work hard, then your dreams come true
Overcome, overcome

Everyday you get up living like a bum
But, if you want good
'memba your nose haffi go run
Get up, brush off
Take yourself out of the slum
Go find a trade, and make some fun
Don't drown your stress inna smoke and rum
Slow, but sure, dem will put you underground
Set up a stall, likkle bulla, likkle bun
Cah when the week done

Times well hard in the yaad today
But, if you don't work
Then you won't get paid
Many obstacles come along the way
Overcome youths, overcome
Many are called, but the chosen few
Don't make dem tell you want you cannot do
Work at your dreams and they will come true
Overcome, you have to overcome
Overcome yeah-ee, yeah overcome
