[Intro]

True, true, true, true

True, true, true, true

True, true, true, true

True, true

[Chorus]

Times well hard in the yaad today

But if you don't work, then you won't get paid

Many obstacles come along the way

Overcome youths, overcome

Many are called, but the chosen few (So few)

Nothing in this world that you can't do (Can't do)

If you work hard, then you will pull through

Overcome, overcome

[Verse 1]

The reason why we call da one yah, "Overcome"

Because some likkle youths moving oh so dumb

Sit down, nah do nothing, and they want things come

And then a pressure people how dem want income

Young, baby father can't feed him son

And then him tell the Don say, him need him gun

Get gun, take gun rob Mr. Chung

Five innocent people get licked down because

[Chorus]

Times well hard in the yaad today (Well hard)

But if you don't work, then you won't get paid (Everyday)

Many obstacles come along the way

Overcome, overcome

Many are called, but the chosen few

Nothing in this world that you can't do

Work hard for your dreams and they will come true

Overcome, overcome

[Verse 2]

Everyday you get up living like a bum

But, if you want good, 'memba your nose haffi go run

Get up, brush off, take yourself out of the slum

And go find a trade, and make some fun

Don't drown your stress inna smoke and rum

Slow, but sure, dem will put you underground

Set up a stall, likkle bulla, likkle bun

So when the week done you nuh haffi beg nobody none

[Chorus]

Times well hard in the yaad today

But if you don't work, then you won't get paid

Many obstacles come along the way

Overcome, overcome

Many are called, but the chosen few

Nothing in this world that you can't do

If you work hard, then you will pull through

Overcome, overcome

[Verse 1]

The reason why we call da one yah, "Overcome"

Nothing in this world that you can't do

If you overcome, if you overcome

Times well hard in the yaad today

But if you don't work, then you won't get paid (No pay)

Many obstacles come along the way

Overcome, overcome

Times well hard in the yaad today

But if you don't work, then you won't get paid

Many obstacles come along the way

Overcome youths, overcome

Many are called, but the chosen few

Don't make dem tell you want you cannot do

Work at your dreams and they will come true

Overcome, you have to overcome

[Outro]
