Sizzla - Hard Ground lyrics

Intro: Let H.I.M. be sanctified Hey whoa oh whoa oh Check how di vibes all ah flow How di ghetto youths dem ah grow So much love Chorus Hard grounds no sound from di suffering Who collect di pounds to keep dem bound from di uprising? Hey hard ground, cold ground for di suffering Hey dem bounce wi about, throw wi down Yet wi still striving (x2) Verse 1 Then ah who gi di ghetto youth gun Fi dem roam all di street every day and night? Check ah which way di nozzle dem turn Mi ah tell unno seh trigger happy ever waan strife Nuff ah bawl 'Cree!' Too late fi guh flee By chance if yuh keep all yuh life Before di day could done, nuff a dem gone Stop all di war and strife Where are the so called leaders Who pollute and corrupt all di place? Yow di nowadays bleeders, back door dealers Who put di youths dem to waste Di devil's receivers they always ah cheat Just step pon di things dem create Woee, strive now Mi see seh day Babylon ah fake Chorus Verse 2 Their feelings manifest what is so real Hoping not for the innocent but who? Shall we surely feel I can see outpouring wrath Its not concealed Time fi equal rights and justice Not fi corn meal I know they don't know where they're going Long before now Rastafari dem see and know everything They go confused within this modern system You've received the prize, was it rewarding? Chorus Verse 3 Home on yuh own alone wid mother and child Yet father missing Man stand up and play yuh role Mi haffi do my own, cyaan do it fi him Have yuh ever heard di cries of boys and girls Every time when hungry ah ring? Tears full mamma eye everyone know why She alone haffi do di jugglin, yeah Some guys organise and ah mek bare noise And not one thing dem ah bring Mama well qualified education alright Fi her way not a job can swing When she touch pon base and look pon di fence Stress keep on coming Is a heavy piece a weight when she push all di gate Like di struggling just begin Chorus
