Certain things not change
life is joy and its sorrow
and Mama's always feeling the pain
Daddy's always working for a brighter tomorrow
under agony and strain
(Ina time like now)
Stand up to the face of the struggle
No more will you step aside
(Ina time like now)
When the whole wide world is in trouble
the fittest of the fittest will survive
(Ina time like now)
Stand up to the face of the struggle
No more will you step aside
(Ina time like now)
When the whole wide world is in trouble
fittest of the fittest will survive
Root alone nuh bear the fruit on this ya tree of living
and for the loot some man a shoot
for this dem need forgiving
the bigger heads dem undercover
guns and drugs dem shipping
not even little mercy come dripping
It's so hard for us to find some things we can believe in
Everything around us so attractive yet deceiving
Peace within ourself is worth
the hardship of achieving
Hold on tight till we leave
(Ina time like now)
Stand up to the face of the struggle
No more will you step aside
(Ina time like now)
When the whole wide world is in trouble
Fittest of the fittest will survive
(Ina time like now)
Stand up to the face of the struggle
No more will you step aside
(Ina time like now)
When the whole wide world is in trouble
Fittest of the fittest will survive
Never be afraid that you might fail
cause sometimes our train will come out from the rail
shall not to put your soul or your body out for sale
you be like a prisoner charged without bail
If hope should disappear we ain't in a real of a trouble
you got to keep your head up for sure
And how we fit the pieces to the fit cheeks of puzzle
destruction is knocking on your door
(Ina time like now)
Stand up to the face of the struggle
No more will you step aside
(Ina time like now)
When the whole wide world is in trouble
fittest of the fittest will survive
(Ina time like now)
Stand up to the face of the struggle
No more will you step aside
(Ina time like now)
When the whole wide world is in trouble
fittest of the fittest will survive
