Close One Yesterday - Buju Banton

One more day in the struggle

have to get up and go juggle

yu done know

want a little sugar inna de pan

me nah see fi trouble no man

Oh oh...

Said i had a close one yesterday

jah put an angel over me, be strong

hold a firm meditation

one day things must get better

don't you go down

keep your head above the water

say, one day things must get better, be strong

hold a firm meditation

one day things must get better

don't you go down

keep your head above the water

say, one day things must get better

The rich is wise in his conceit

but the fool with overstanding search him out

poor man mourn the rich riches increase

be not grieved, riches are not forever

envy not the oppressor chose none of his ways

be not wise in his own eyes

only jah you must praise

strive not with a man without cause

if he have done no harm

let by gone be by gone

This nine to five is a joke

the minister say

the economy is getting better

misleading the people

the mass still suffer, oh jah

scarce benefits and spoils

jah know that we feel it

day and night we cry, cry, cry

jah know that we feel it

who can help a weeping soul like i
