I'm living while I'm living to the father I will pray
Only him know how we get through everday
With all the hike in the price
Arm and leg we have fi pay

While our leaders play

All I see people a rob & a Jab all a grab
teif neva love fi see teif wid long bag
no love 4 the ppl who a suffa real bad
& as ah told to the pope may God help yuh soul
what is to stop the youths from get out a control
full up a education dem nuh own no payroll
di clothes pan mi back have countless big hole
ah could go on and on the song has never been told.

I'm living while I'm living to the father I will pray
Only him know how we get through everday
With all the hike in the price
Arm and leg we have fi pay
While our leaders play

Who can afford to run will run but what about those who can't
they will have to stay
Oppurtunity a scarce, scarce commodity in dis time I say
When mama spend her last and send you go class
Neva you eva play
Its a competive world for low budget people
Spending the dime while earning the nickel
with no regards for who it might tickle my cup if full to the brim

I'm living while I'm living to the father I will pray
Only him know how we get through everday
With all the hike in the price
Arm and leg we have fi pay
While our leaders play

We could go on and on the full has never been told.
