Overcome Lyrics

[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 yutes overcome
Many are called but the chosen few
Nothin in this world that you can do
If you work hard then you will pull through, overcome, overcome

[Verse 1:]
The reason dat we call dat one yah overcome
Because some likkle yutes movin oh so dumb
Sit down hardly nuttin
And they waan things come
And they nuh pressure people
Bout they waan income
Young, baby fadda caan feed him son
And any girl he dun seh him need him gun
Get gun tek 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 yutes overcome
Many are called but the chosen few
Nothin in this world that you can do
Work hard for your dreams
And they will come true, overcome, overcome

[Verse 2:]
Everyday yuh get up, livin like a bum
But if yuh waan good
Memba yuh nose haffi go run
Get up brush up tek yourself out a di slum
And go find a trade, and mek somethin fun
Don't drown your stress inna smoke or rum
So much dro dem would put yuh undaground
Set up buss all likkle food and likkle bun
So when di week dun yuh nah 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, overcome
Many are called but the chosen few
Nothin 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]
