Due to unfavourable financial conditions
I am unable to cope with this financial shituation
It's causing an inflation upon creation
I can't stand this no longer
The wicked get stronger
I can't stand this no longer
Cause the battle is gettin' hotter

But dem ha fe get a beatin'
The wicked ha fe get a beatin'
Dem mus get a beatin'
The wicked ha fe get a beatin'
Now that you waited
Till your back is against the wall
One step, to progress, my brother
And I know Jah will help you all
Dem ha fe get a beatin', lord
Dem mus get a beatin', yeah
Dem ha fe get a beatin', I say

Cause even cockroach get nuffer

Dem ha fe get a beaten', yeah
Dem mus get a beaten', lord
Dem ha fe get a beaten', yeah

Tell me how long
Must the good suffer for the bad?
And every time the good open his month

Till your back is against the wall
If you make one step to progress
