Life is moving along like some kind of disasterous Dostoevsky novel ... with a touch of Hesse's
The Steppenwolf.

"Dem Ha Fe Get A Beatin"Due to unfavorable financial condition
I am unable to cope with this financial situation
That is causing inflation upon creation
I can't stand this no longer
The wicked get stronger
I can't stand this no longer
'Cause the battle is getting hotter
[Chorus:]
But them ha fe get a beatin'
The wicked ha fe get a beatin'
Them must get a beatin'
The wicked ha fe get a beatin'
Now that you waited
'Til you back is against the wall
One step to progess my brother
And I know Jah will help you all
[Chorus]
I can't stand this no longer
The wicked get stronger
I can't stand this no longer
'Cause even cockroach get nuffer
[Chorus]
Tell me how long
Must the good suffer for the bad
And every time the good open his mouth
The bad say "You must be mad!"
[Chorus]
I can't stand this no longer
Now that you waited so long
'Til you back is against the wall
If you make one step to progress
I know Jah will help you all
[Chorus]
I can't stand this no longer
The wicked get so strong
I can't stand this no longer
Everything seem to be wrong
"I'm The Toughest"[Chorus:]
Anything you can do
I can do it better
I'm the toughest [2x]
And I can do what you can't do
You'll never try to do what I do
I'm the toughest [2x]
Stop from doing wrongs
Change your foolish plans
Stop from doing wrongs
Just live up like a man
I'm the toughest [2x]
Now my little brothers
You've got to be good
Do what's right
Don't be bad-minded
Just take what's yours
And there'll be no fuss or fight
[Chorus]
Stop from doing wrongs
Change your foolish plan
Stop from doing wrongs
Just live up like a man
I'm the toughest [2x]
Now my brothers
You've got to be good
Just do what you know is right
Don't be bad minded
Just take what's yours
And there'll be no fuss or fight
[Chorus]
I said I love my brothers
I said I love my sisters
I don't covet my neighbour
And I love my neighbour
"That's What They Will Do"[Chorus:]
That's what your friends will do
That's what they will do
They will come with great pretense
To gain your confidence
They'll take you round the bend
And fry you in the end
[Chorus]
They will look right inna you eyes
And tell you the wickedest lies
Make you promises
But never accomplishes
[Chorus]
They will dress up inna you clothes
And punch you inna you nose
Dress up inna you shoes
And still carry false news
[Chorus]
They will know that you in jail
And never try to get you bail
And know that you in trouble
And try to make it double
[Chorus]
They will steal you only goat
And then them cutting throat
If you ever robbed
Woulda come back for you car
