t's a tuff rocky road we are trodding on today And piece by piece everything is clear Wise men say things them a go change You can't ignore it and you better rearrange Remember that your heart will never fear no dark So when time come take your stance and play your part A so it built a so it born One day the table affi turn And seven times you'll see it fall And seven times it all reborn It's a tuff rocky road we are trodding on today And piece by piece everything is clear Sometimes I don't understand What really means to be a man Some friends look like them know it all But them nuh see the change is on Them say them born as winners But them struggle fi them dinners Them mind them pierced like mesh marinas How will you weather the storm? It's a tuff rocky road we are trodding on today And piece by piece everything is clear So man a go ball up my fist and ramp with the beast from dusk till dawn Alchemical practice pon top of the list like a Jeet Kune Do don 'Caw the darker the berry the sweeter the juice The hotter the battle me step in like Bruce And now them vex them turn we loose Ah so it built ah so it born One day the table affi turn And seven times you'll see it fall And seven times it all reborn
