[Intro]
A wha' dem want we do? [x5]

[Verse 1]
Go bed to wake up to set up and cut down
Always in a hurry
I don't even yawn
Time to touch the street
Food have to eat
A so me see it
I got a family to feed
Some have to do it
No matter wa gwaan on
Is like there want to wish we never born
With all that
It still give we the strong to carry on
It really no pretty inna Babylon
All they offer the poor man is another plan

[Chorus]
Get by day to day
Hard, hard, it hard, it hard
Work not find way
Get by day to-day
Hard, hard, it hard, it hard
[Verse 2]
For get the little paid
It done 'fore me reach home
Me nar gon check me neighbor for no more loan
Me and hungry a no friend
But it like say tomorrow we gon have to par again
Me wish belly full
Could have met we at the crossroad
A no me alone, me know it would draw crowd
Cause round every corner you turn a the same concern
We a hustle and no earn

[Chorus]
Get by day to day
Hard, hard, it hard, it hard
Work not find way
Get by day to day
Hard, hard, it hard, it hard

[Verse 3]
Right now we tried a the justice
Have liar and the justice have thief
The justice have hungry
And the justice have grief
The justice have promised
And have nothing much
Link up with the justice, have stress
Take way the justice
Have more, give we more the justice
Have less a so the justice have crime
A big up it chest
Them should a lucky say the justice a fight back
Or hold arrest or else they would have to deal with the justice
The justice have mess
With just a chance to live a better life
We wouldn't have to work so hard in order to survive
Do everything we can but still need an helping hand
You can't setup the thing for suit you
While you understand
[Chorus]
Get by day to day
Hard, hard, it hard, it hard
Work not find way
Get by day to day
Hard, hard, it hard, it hard

[Verse 1 Repeat]
[Chorus]
