This ya name smile just smile never let them see you cry.

Though you light bill and rent is due and the landlord is evicting you.
Don't you bend, don't you screw just do like i man do
And put a smile upon your face cause to be poor is no disgrace.
No sweat no stress don't get upset through yuh going through a phase.

Burdens you bear and all you heavy load.
Oh ohh you walk on the rocky road.
Don't let them see the pain you feel.

Well a little herb him a juggle a try stay out a trouble.
Deh yah a batter batter, him canoe him a paddle.
