Burdens Heavy lyrics - Busy Signal

Yeah

As I open my eyes no complaints

I give thanks fih life fih dih sun and fih dih rain yeah

Politicians ah look someone fih blame

And them treat the people inhumane

What them ah stir up

Them system corrupt

We can't give up

We haffi live up

Lord, Lord, Lord

We haffi carry on

Trod along

Yeah

First thing as I open my eyes

Give thanks

Give thanks ahhhh

Mih see the sunset me see the sun rise

Give thanks

Give thanks ahhhh

Nuff ah drain yuh energy and bridge yuh current

Nuff ah dem inna dih dark and some ah dem ah talk and some ah dem silent

Beg the Most High for the courage and the strength

Fih rise up inna any event

Cause even though dih burdens heavy

Mih still nah grudge nor envy

Yow I and I work mih nuh lazy

Fih what mih want mih work min nah lazy

And even when the times get crazy

Some say they bother rate the girl and kill the baby

Dih wicked dem nah show no mercy

I wonder why dem so blood thirsty

Alright

It hard fih get ah job

But still mih nah guh rob

No purse mih nah guh grab

Survive wid what me have

Me ah wonder if some ah dih yute yah ah create inna dih lab

Some friends weh used to par now ah war and it's so sad

Watch deh

Machine rise ah pure negative trending

Just a few positive things still pending

I ah stand firm no shake no bending

Watch the subliminal that them sending

Cause even though dih burdens heavy

Mih still nah grudge nor envy

Yow I and I work mih nuh lazy

Mih nuh lazy

Fih what mih want mih work min nah lazy

And even when the times get crazy

Some say they bother rate the girl and kill the baby

Dih wicked dem nah show no mercy

I wonder why dem so blood thirsty

Aye

I and I just ah pray fih ah change inna dem yah time

Aye

Because the less fortunate and poor people always deh pon mih mind

Aye

Some say dem ah lead but Granny say blind nuh lead blind

Joke ting

That nah fih gwaan no time

Some nuh have no regards fih mankind

Cause even though dih burdens heavy

Heavy

Mih still nah grudge nor envy

Yow I and I work mih nuh lazy

Fih what mih want mih work min nah lazy

And even when the times get crazy

Some say they bother rate the girl and kill the baby

Dih wicked dem nah show no mercy

I wonder why dem so blood thirsty

First thing as I open my eyes

Give thanks

Give thanks ahhhh

Mih see the sunset me see the sun rise

Give thanks

Give thanks ahhhh

Nuff ah drain yuh energy and bridge yuh current

Nuff ah dem inna dih dark and some ah dem ah talk and some ah dem silent

Beg the Most High for the courage and the strength

Fih rise up inna any event

Cause even though dih burdens heavy

Mih still nah grudge nor envy

Yow I and I work mih nuh lazy

Fih what mih want mih work min nah lazy

And even when the times get crazy

Some say they bother rate the girl and kill the baby

Dih wicked dem nah show no mercy

I wonder why dem so blood thirsty
