Abdel Wright - Troubled Waters lyrics

Hunger is frequent, can't find food to eat

Can't pay the rent, some end up on the street

Them tax we daily, system indiscrete

Responsibilities, ends can hardly meet, hardly meet.

Bridge

We all know that certain things take time

But not forever

Comfort yourself by singing this song of mine.

Chorus

Although the mountain is high

I know that one day I will get by

Although the bridges are low

I'll take my chances to touch the troubled waters.

Poverty done deya, It's a global thing

Crime and violence mek we head start spin

You see the homeless youths them, trust me, what a thing

Exposed to abuses, chances very slim.

Bridge repeat…

Chorus repeat…

Some ghetto youths see no choice but to tek up the gun

Some leave school with diploma yet work them can't get none

Oh what a thing

You think prison and death row system is such a fun

Think again Suicide to me my view is fire burn, fire burn.

Chorus repeat…

Although the mountain is high

I know that one day I will get by

Although the bridges are low

I'll take my chances to touch the troubled waters.

Although the mountain is high

I know that one day we will get by

Although the bridges are low

I'll take my chances to touch the troubled waters
