[Verse 1]
Never let your problems get you down

So, tell dem say, anytime we hungry again dem a go see we nine
Police outta road say dem a fight crime
And holiday a come and me nuh see the first dime
Tell dem say anytime the government policies a undermine
Poor people's plight, that a sure sign
Corruption and war a go reach it's prime
Tell dem say, anytime we hungry again dem a go see we nine
