Maxine Lyons A.K.A Maxpoet - Suvival a de Tuffest

De Merica yuh si yah a nuh easy place
Dough it cata fi every God dam race
Yuh a fi buss yuh ass pan two and three wuk
Cause Masa, dis yah dutty tuff
Dem seh Jamaica a lan of wood and wata
America a lan of opportunity
But sometimes it feel jus like a seh
A so so dam stupidity

Dis a suvival a de tuffest, dis a suvival a de tuffest
Dis a suvival a de tuffest, dis a suvival a de tuffest

Wi a fi wuk so hard, fi pay all wi bills
Wi owna heart desire, wi caan fulfill
Much less talk bout relax or chill
Mi use to hear seh, a yah suh honey flow
But it look more like seh, buss yuh ass an money go
As soon as yuh get de lilly pay
Every penny it jus disappear

Dis a suvival a de tuffest, dis a suvival a de tuffest
Dis a suvival a de tuffest, dis a suvival a de tuffest

De harder yuh wuk, de poorer yuh get
An on tap a dat, sometime yuh a fe fret
Cause rent alone, tek every dalla yuh mek
Lite an phone bill, sometime yuh a fi lef

Food, a every day sinting
Every day de price gone up
An de lilly pay yuh get
It remain such

Dis a suvival a de tuffest, dis a suvival a de tuffest
Dis a suvival a de tuffest, dis a suvival a de tuffest

If a yuh one a earn
A dat deh time eh burn
Cause de money whey yuh mek
Mi seh it a fi stretch

Some people nuh get a chance
Fi si sunrise or sunset
Cause all dem caan tink bout
Is whey dem a fi mek
Pickney skool fee, mortgage fi pay
An nuff more bills line up inna de way

Dis a suvival a de tuffest, dis a suvival a de tuffest
Dis a suvival a de tuffest, dis a suvival a de tuffest

Fambily a yaad, dem nuh tap call
Dem want name bran, dem want baby prom
Sum a dem waan money fi buy lan
An sum a dem wann yuh fi sen dem a man
Even dough seh yuh nuh have one.

Dis a suvival a de tuffest, dis a suvival a de tuffest
Dis a suvival a de tuffest, dis a suvival a de tuffest
