All when the rain a fall the ground still tough
How mama earth a tell wi things rough
Now tell me if you see it like me
The words they speak are not true on TV
How can things be getting better when so much people still a suffer?

[Chorus:]
Dem seh things a get better but we can't see it
Cyaa see it wi cyaa
Dem seh money a run right yah now but pocket still a feel it
Still a feel it
Cyaa sleep a night because wi stress out
Every month landlord talk bout kick out
Because ends nah meet
People a end up pon street
Change is what we need

Tell me if you going through this
Working hard day an' night
An still cyaa live a good life
Tell me if you going through this
The money weh yo meck done before it reach yo hand mi friend
Tell mi fi you going through this
No have no money fi gas star
So yo cyaa too drive yo car
Tell mi fi you going through this
Every day yo wonder if no better life no deh, deh fi yo

[Chorus]

Tell mi if you going through this
Working up overtime an still cyaa pay yo bills pon time
Tell me if you going through this
The work you work so hard, still cyaa feed the youth dem a yo yard
Tell me if you going through this
Tears run from yo eye when you look over yo life at night
Are you going through this
Everyday yo wonder if no better life no deh deh fi yo

[Chorus]

So many time you are on your last dime
People see you smile don’t know what you going through inside yea
Working so hard but still ends nah meet
Sometimes you a believe no better no deh deh fi real, yeah

[Chorus x2]
