The time is tough and it's gonna get tougher yet
But when I think of the days I have spent
Jah never feel like it, no
Many times I've had to scrape the barrel
At times I thought there seems no end to sorrow, no
When I've done the best that I can
I look up to the man, yeah
You know I have to call
My back's against the wall
And I think I can't make it touch
