Due to unfavorable financial conditions,
I am unable to cope with this financial situation,
It's causing an inflation upon creation.

The wicked get stronger.
I can't stand this no longer,
'Cause the battle is gettin' hotter.

But dem ha fe get a beatin',
The wicked ha fe get a beatin'.
Dem mus get a beatin',

Till your back is against the wall.

And I know Jah will help you all.

Must the good suffer for the bad?
And every time the good open his mouth,
The bad say: "You must be mad!".
