So one more day, another night
One more year without you
God I'm so blue, honey I miss you
So one more day, another night
One more year without you
God I'm so blue, don't know how old are you...

from bad to worse everyday
God I polish shoes, man I beg fi money
tings dem so hard pon me!


ten years I livin' on de streets
still don't know how to make ends meet
tell me what do you learn at school
do your new daddy tink I'm a fool?
I'm dyin' to hear from you
I still polish shoes and still beg fi money
tings dem so hard pon me!

I'd like to know oh I'd like to know
why do people judge others?
why do people judge others?

lemme know..mama lemme know!

I'd like to know oh I'd like to know
what am I to make of my life?

Jah knows de need better than you know your face

I'd like to know why man's plan often go wrong?
Oh I wish I'd go, yes man go and sin no mo'
mama lemme know oh mama lemme know
why people call it injustice?
who can ever reminisce?

who understands Jah's secret plan
inna di land of de sinking sand?
lemme know oh mama lemme know.....

ES:

Ya dije todo aquello que tenía que decir
Mi experiencia mis estudios no quisieron oír
“Lo lamento no es para ti”
“5 años de trabajo es muy poco vivir”

Tanto tuve que sacrificar
Siempre dijeron que lo bueno vendrá
Todavía espero el futuro ideal
Sigo luchando contra el mundo real

Mi madre dijo que debía estudiar
Pero en ello nada pude encontrar
Ya basta de mentir quiero realidad
Quiero ser alguien que disfruta de verdad
que disfruta de verdad

Tanto tuve que sacrificar
Siempre dijeron que lo bueno vendrá
Todavía espero el futuro ideal
Sigo luchando contra el mundo real

Ya es tiempo de un buen cambio
Nuevos vientos soplarán
No tengo nada que perder
Solo tengo que saltar

Tanto tuve que sacrificar
Siempre dijeron que lo bueno vendrá
Todavía espero el futuro ideal
Sigo luchando contra el mundo real

I have said everything I had to say
My experience my studies they didn't want to hear
"I'm sorry it's not for you"
"5 years of work is too little to live"

I had to sacrifice so much
They always said that good things will come
I'm still waiting for the ideal future
I'm still fighting against the real world

My mother said I should study
But I couldn't find anything in it
Enough of lying I want reality
I want to be someone who really enjoys
who really enjoys

I had to sacrifice so much
They always said that good things will come
I'm still waiting for the ideal future
I'm still fighting against the real world

It's time for a good change
New winds will blow
I have nothing to lose
I just have to jump

I had to sacrifice so much
They always said that good things will come
I'm still waiting for the ideal future
I'm still fighting against the real world
