Wayne Marshall lyrics : "Overcome"

Wayne Marshall ? Overcome

[Intro:]

True, true... true-true, true, true...
True-true
True, true... true-true, true, true...


[Chorus:]
Times well hard and they are 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
Nothing in this world that you can do
If you work hard then you will pull through, overcome, overcome.


[Verse 1:]
The reason that we call that one ya overcome

Because some likkle youths moving, oh, so dumb...
Sit down hardly nothing
And they want things come

And they nuh pressure people
But they want income
Young baby, father can't feed him son

And any girl he done say he needs his gun
Get gun take gun rob Mr. Chung
Five innocent people get licked down because...


[Chorus:]
Times well hard and they are 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
Nothing in this world that you can do
If you work hard then you will pull through, overcome, overcome.


[Verse 2:]
Everyday yuh get up, living like a bum

But if yuh waan good
Remember you nose haffi go run
Get up brush up take yourself out of the slum

And go find a trade, and make something fun
Don't drown your stress in a smoke or rum
So much dro they would put you underground

Set up buss all likkle food and likkle bun
So when the week done you nuh fi beg nobody none.


[Chorus:]
Times well hard and they are 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

Nothing in this world that you can do
If you work hard then you will pull through, overcome, overcome.


[Verse 1]
[Verse 2]
[Chorus: till end]
