lyrics

Intro:
Yea aaa aaaa
Yea aa aaa aaaa
Yea aaa aaaaaa
Oh gosh!

Verse:
Once a man twice a child
The longest liver sees the most
Don’t give up for what you want in life
You may be so close
The race is not for the swift but who can endure
No giving in, nah give up that me tell you
By the sweat of your brow you must get pay
I a make hay

Chorus:
When the going gets tough (when the going gets tough)
Hold on for a ride
When time temps us (When time temps us)
Neither fuss or fight

When the going gets tough (when the going gets tough)
Hold on for a ride
When time temps us (When time temps us)
Neither fuss or fight

Verse:
Easy on the head that wears the crown
Don’t envy a man’s frown
Jah nah give we more than we can bare
Trust in him who shall I fear?
A thousand years is twinkle in Jah sight
I not losing courage, i eyes on the prize
Red hot! An it’s this I need you to realise

Chorus:
When the going gets tough (when the going gets tough)
Hold on for a ride
When time temps us (When time temps us)
Neither fuss or fight

When the going gets tough (when the going gets tough)
Hold on for a ride
When time temps us (When time temps us)
Neither fuss or fight

Verse:
Once a man twice a child
The longest liver sees the most
Don’t give up for what you want in life
You may be so close
The race is not for the swift but who can endure
No giving in, nah give up that me tell you
By the sweat of your brow you must get pay
I a make hay

Chorus:
When the going gets tough (when the going gets tough)
Hold on for a ride
When time temps us (When time temps us)
Neither fuss or fight

When the going gets tough (when the going gets tough)
Hold on for a ride
When time temps us (When time temps us)
Neither fuss or fight

Outro:

Yea y’know is I & I Phenom
To all nation an race
don’t give up the fight
Hotter the battle sweeter the victory
Oh gosh! Skunga! Jah Keyz, phenom
I kong!
Yea i, yea aaaa
