Yes, give thanks and praise
To the most high Jah Rastafari
Yeah, you know
As I would say ya, you know
The father is the strong hold for the oppressed
The stronghold in the time of trouble, you know
And those who put their trust in him
Shall endure for iver, you know
As I and I would say, you see

Bless my eye this morning
Jah sun is on the rise once again
Way earthly things are going
Any thing can happen, you see

So much trouble in the world

So much trouble, so much violence
Nah say loving, better you keep silent
So much trouble, so much violence
Nah say loving, better you keep silent
Got to face the day no matter the consequence
World ain't getting better, ain't no improvement
Everywhere you go that's another problem
Work everyday still you can't find a cent
Land lord a hunt cause you don't pay no rent
No mother, no father, you are a lone parent
Everyone all around such a bad temperament
Have no chain round your feet still you can't free yourself
Laws cause crime and violence, so much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world

And all we've got to do
Is give a little
Take a little

Telling you what goes up is coming on down
Goes around and comes around, yeah

So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world

Jr. Gong
So much trouble, so much violence
Nah say loving, better you keep silent
So much trouble, so much violence
Nah say loving, better you keep silent
Got to face the day no matter the consequence
World ain't getting better, ain't no improvement
Everywhere you go that's another problem
Work everyday still you can't find a cent
Land lord a hunt cause you don't pay no rent
No mother, no father, you are a lone parent
Everyone all around such a bad temperament
Have no chain round your feet still you can't free yourself
Laws cause crime and violence, so much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world

And them no reverend
And Raggamuffin say him naw keep silent

Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down

We can't tell the woman from the man
They are dressed in the same pollution
Their minds is confused with confusion
So to their problems seems there's never no solution
Them a night life ravers
Them a midnight ravers

Down in a the ghetto is like old Vietnam
Gun shot a bust with grenade and bomb
First fi survive a fi iron lion
Learn fi trod through great tribulation
Learn to survive off the plantation
Plant up potatoes wi plant up yam
Turn over soil cause food have fi nyam
Satta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranch
Mi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpence
Jus yesterday a man rip off mi fence
And if mi catch him a shhhh silence

Fi defend mi life mi bus up some corn
Dead man don't tell tale and that done gone
Jus fi survive man a so man a fi gwan
Wey dem a go do when the real war start
Can't find solution who play the part
Claim sey you bad see how fast you tek off
You use to brag how you kill and laugh
How you wicked and a rip out men heart
Carry dead man gwan thing of a wharf
Well I Jr. Gong a show you say you soft
Now Jr. Gong no matter how you brawd or you big

Down in a Jamaica is like old Vietnam
Print a di eyes put a destruction
For the simplest thing man a bram bram bram

Man a sentence fi hang and don't do a wrong

And wi turn over soil for food have fi nyam

Back to the issue wey mi a deal wid

Down in a the ghetto is like old Vietnam
