Intro
Yea Bay-C
Me do this one for the poor you know
Who a go through hard life, you know what I mean
Straight up, it's not an easy road
Competition on your left, on your right
But never you give up, just hold your lane, because

Verse 1
Jah gives you the burdens so you can overcome
Jah gives you the hurdles so when you jump over,
Even if you fall, get up brush off and move on, heya
I'm hustling for mine, my eyes on the finish line
And I'm gonna win this prize, and I won't get distracted no
Cause you can't enter twice in this race of life,

Chorus
You better run run run run run run run from poverty
You better run run run run run run run from suffering
No silver, no bronze, only gold
Riches for you and I to behold
Run run run run run run run from poverty

Verse 2
Not an easy road, is more like it's a hard street
Every day the youth them have to hustle on the concrete
It's like a jungle or like a track meet
When the shot fire you have to run just like an athlete
Hungry belly is a thing wha make you can't sleep
But if you live in a mansion maybe you cannot see it
Everybody know say cost of living not cheap
So when you see the youth them with the hot feet,

Chorus

Spoken Interlude
Yea you know, keep on moving
Nah give up no matter what them say
By the sweat of your brow you shall reap, you know what I mean
Just put in the works straight to the finish line (no brakes).

Verse 3
And once you get on track, don't you ever look back
Just give it all you got
Cause you're going for first place and the trophy
It's right within your reach, but sufferation is at your heels,

Chorus
End.
