Текст Romain Virgo – Press On

ook ‘pon the watch 1 2 3 o’ clock
Deh ‘pon the work an’ me hand still a scratch
A from 6 me wake, an’ still no food no deh ‘pon me plate
Go ATM fi go collect me stash

Me know seh it rough, but still me haffi press on
Likkle sweat never kill nobody yet
From me likkle an’ a grow, mama taught me a listen
If you want good, your nose haffi wet

Me know seh it rough, but still me haffi press on
Likkle sweat never kill nobody yet
From me likkle an’ a grow, mama taught me a listen
Hold the faith, don’t give up, just press on

Look ‘pon the watch five days after that
Me reach work gate but now a ten o’ clock
The boss lock him gate
And seh no let nobody inna him place
Stand up a the gate an’ me nah turn back
One month me work me fi get pay fi that
Him seh a no fi me date
But me still a gwaan hold the faith

‘Cause me know seh it rough, but still me haffi press on
Likkle sweat never kill nobody yet
From me likkle an’ a grow, mama taught me a listen
If you want good, your nose haffi wet

Me know seh it rough, but still me haffi press on
Likkle sweat never kill nobody yet
From me likkle an’ a grow, mama taught me a listen
Hold the faith, don’t give up, just press on

Me catty deh a foreign waan file fi me
Me friend a look a visa fi buy fi me
Dem see how hard me a work an’ dem a cry fi me
Dem all a ask Father God fi apply fi me
And fi me youths me haffi gwaan like me really steady
‘Cause me haffi put food ‘pon the brown table
Cyaan drive a Range now, but me soon able
Remember Jah a me Father so me go able

Me know seh it rough, but still me haffi press on
Likkle sweat never kill nobody yet
From me likkle an’ a grow, mama taught me a listen
If you want good, your nose haffi wet

Me know seh it rough, but still me haffi press on
Likkle sweat never kill nobody yet
From me likkle an’ a grow, mama taught me a listen
Hold the faith, don’t give up, just press on

One day yeh things a go better
Worries a we burden a no light like feather
One day must see the sunshine weather
Show mama two house an’ ask are which one she prefer

One day things must get better
Worries a we burden a no light like feather
One day must see the sunshine weather
Gwaan hold the faith, yo me brother

Me know seh it rough, but still me haffi press on
Likkle sweat never kill nobody yet
From me likkle an’ a grow, mama taught me a listen
If you want good, your nose haffi wet

Me know seh it rough, but still me haffi press on
Likkle sweat never kill nobody yet
From me likkle an’ a grow, mama taught me a listen
Hold the faith, don’t give up, just press on

Look ‘pon me clock, three years after that
‘Member the days when no food inna pot
Me get me blessings straight up
This a no dream, so me nah fi wake up, yeah
