"Burdens Heavy" lyrics

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
