Hunger is frequent, can't find food fi eat

Can't pay the rent, some end up on the street

Them tax we daily, system indiscreet

Responsibilities, ends can hardly meet, hardly meet

We all know that certain things take time

But not forever

Comfort yourself by singing these lines of mine

Although the mountain is high

I know that one day I will get by

And although the bridges are low

I'll take my chances

To touch the troubled waters

Poverty done deya, It's a global thing

Crime and violence mek we head start spin, oh, what a thing

You see the homeless youths them, trust me, what a thing

Exposed to abuses, chances very slim, very slim

We all know that certain things take time

But not forever

Comfort yourself by singing these lines of mine

Although the mountain is high

I know that one day I will get by

And although the bridges are low

I'll take my chances

To touch the troubled waters

Take, take, chance, chance

Take, take, chance, chance

Some ghetto youths see no choice but fi tek up the gun

Some leave school with diploma

Yet work them can't get none, oh, what a thing

You think prison and death row system is such a fun, think again

Suicide to me my view is fire burn, fire burn

Although the mountain is high

I know that one day I will get by

And although the bridges are low

I'll take my chances

To touch the troubled waters

Although the mountain is high

I know that one day we will get by

And although the bridges are low

I'll take my chances

To touch the troubled waters

You'll can take a chances

To touch the troubled waters

I'll take my chances

To touch the troubled waters

Hunger is frequent, them tax we daily

Can't pay the rent, poverty done deya

[Incomprehensible]

Responsibilities

No choice
