Burdens Heavy Busy Signal

[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
As I open my eyes, no complaints
I give thanks fi life, fi di sun an' fi di rain, yeah
Politician ah look someone fi blame
And dem treat di people inhumane
Wah dem ah stir up, dem system corrupt
Wi cyaan give up, wi haffi live up
Lord, Lord, Lord
Wi haffi carry on, trod along, yeah

[Refrain]
First thing as I open my eyes
Give tanks, give tanks, ah-ah-ah
Mi see di sunset, mi see di sunrise
Give tanks, give tanks, ah-ah-ah
'Nuff ah drain yuh energy an' bridge yuh current
'Nuff ah dem inna di dark an' some a dem ah talk an' some a dem silent
Beg di Most High di courage an' di strength
Fi rise up inna any event

[Chorus]
'Cause even though di burden's heavy
Mi still nah grudge nor envy
Yow, I and I work, mi nuh lazy
Fi what mi waan, mi work, mi nuh lazy
And even when di times get crazy
Some seh dem badda rape eh girl and kill di baby
Di wicked, dem nah show nuh mercy
I wonder why dem so blood thirsty
