Nickle get so scarce, you can't even get none
So instead a once a week, every day for me I'm ??
Lord
Time get so hard, that even rat a cut bottle
Is a situation that, the poor man can't tackle
Lord
The time get so tough, man can't even get one

Whenever you go down-town, just take a look aroudn
And check how much youth you see walking up and down
