I am living in a hard time hard time
But me still ah survive time
Hard time hard time
But I live it with a smile
Hard time hard time
But I still here alive fine
Hard time hard time
But I live it with a smile
Them see you again
Take away me happiness
Because me born well bless
Jah direct all me footsteps
Protect me in every step
Ghetto youth me not rich yet
My life is all of my wealth
Say hello to the success
And goodbye to the stress
Hard time, hard time
But I still ah survive time
Hard time hard time
But I live it with a smile
Hard time hard time
But I still ah survive time
Hard time hard time
I'm living with a smile
No current and no water
But me still living proper
Wicked ah try get me angry
But me heart full of laughter
The ghetto youth dem there hungry
Cause they cannot find a work in the country
Mr politician do something
Before the crime rise high like the mountain
Hard time, hard time
But me still ah survive time
Hard time hard time
But I live it with a smile
Hard time hard time
But I still a survive
Hard time
Them see you again take away me happiness
Because me born well bless
Jah direct all me footsteps
Protect me in every step
Ghetto youth me not rich yet
My life is all of my wealth
Say hello to my success
And goodbye to the stress
Hard time, hard time
But me still ah survive time
Hard time hard time
But I live it with a smile
Hard time hard time
Forward and me nah look behind time
Hard time hard time
But I live it with a smile
