[Intro]
Sufferation, sufferation
Can't take no more, can't take no more, can't take it no more
Baderation, baderation
Police come kick off mi door
[Chorus]
It hard round 'ere
Hard round 'ere
Hard round 'ere
Shoes walk down and mi cann buy a pair (Caan buy it)
Because it hard round 'ere
Hard round 'ere
Hard round 'ere
Hard round 'ere
Can't stich mi pants a look how dem tear
[Verse 1]
Cann buy flour nor cornmeal
Ghetto man a try an get a raw deal
Wen yu see dem baby die how yuh heart feel?
Warriors nah drop shield
Where is the land of da milk and di honey?
Politician give back da poor man money
Don't love di woman dats why yuh nuh 'ave any
Yuh dutty lifestyle Rasta bun it (blaze)
[Chorus]
Hard round 'ere (Tell yuh say it)
Hard round 'ere (Look an see it)
Hard round 'ere
Shoes walk down and mi cann buy a pair (Caan buy it)
Hard round 'ere (Tell yuh say it)
Hard round 'ere (Look an see it)
Hard round 'ere
Can't stich mi pants a look 'bout dem tear
[Verse 2]
Weh dem say
Gun a loud
Road a block
Politician turn dem back wen di poor man a chat
So it hard
A gunshot
Remember Junior Gong a tell yuh Welcome to Jamrock
Police caan ease down di crime
Don caan hold borderline
Every yute sick inna dem mind
Cause dem want a chance now fi shine (See it)
[Chorus]
Hard round 'ere
Hard round 'ere
Hard round 'ere
Caan buy a shoes an' mi walk down di pair (See it)
Hard round 'ere
Hard round 'ere
Hard round 'ere
Caan stich mi pants an' look how dem tear
[Verse 3]
Poor man caan pay di fare fi go buy a [?]
Where is di politician weh say dem put people first?
Every mornin' mi wake another one bite di dust
Why yuh vex dutty Babylon when you Rasta cuss?
Yuh bring di gun dem in di ghetto by trailer load
Still yuh vex, when ghetto man buss dem a road
Fi dem a live a better life a dat yuh cannot afford
So every day yuh bring a new episode (See it)
[Chorus]
Hard round 'ere
Hard round 'ere
Hard round 'ere
Caan buy a shoes an' mi walk down di pair (See it there now)
Hard round 'ere
Hard round 'ere
Hard round 'ere
Caan stich mi pants an' look how dem tear
