A neva trouble you yesterdeh
A neva trouble you todeh
You si mi 'pon de street a sleep

You come trow dutty water 'pon mi
Den you blame society

A dohn ave nuh whey fi guh
But yuh run mi fram stay
Yah suh
A doh ave nuh close fi wear
All you do is stare
You nuh care

A neva trouble you yesterdeh
A neva trouble you todeh
You si mi 'pon de street a sleep
A doh ave nuthin' fi eat
You come trow dutty water 'pon mi
Den you blame society

You tink it easy dung yah
Naw get nuh help from Jah
Every day you pass an' stare
A can si you a live inna fear
But a too busy to talk to mi head
Sometimes a wish a was dead
A suh fraid a nex day a guh come

Would you think you was sleepin'
Or dead you dead
Suppose you a drink wata one day
An fine seh de wata neva a stay
Would you ask society fi change dem ways
Or tink to you self you was passin' through a phase

A neva trouble you yesterdeh

You si mi 'pon de street a sleep
A doh ave nuthin' fi eat
You come trow dutty water 'pon mi
Den you blame society

You may seh dat dis is not true
But I was just like you
Trying to mek ends meet
Looking down on the people
On the street
But tings an' time suh bad
De best of us eventually get mad
You sooh deh 'pon de street like mi
Den a gwine si
Who a guh blame society

A neva trouble you yesterdeh
A neva trouble you todeh
You si mi pan de street a sleep
A doh ave nuthin' fi eat
You come trow dutty wata 'pon mi
Den yuh blame society
