What a sufferation, what a tribulation
I and I have to go through
To get a little work you'll have to trim and shave your face
And if you don't work, you'll starve (yeah)
Three little children, a lovely little queen
I've got my own peep too (yeah)
Everyone depending, depending upon I
And I don't want to steal (that's why I cry)
Oh Lord, oh Lord, what a sufferation
Oh Lord, oh Lord, what a tribulation
Oh Lord, oh Lord, what a sufferation
Oh Lord, oh Lord, what a tribulation
Three little children, a lovely little queen
I've got my own peep too (yeah)
Everyone depending, depending upon I
And I don't want to steal (so I want to say)
What a sufferation, oh Jah what a tribulation
Dreadlocks man have to go through (oh, no, no, no)
Get a little work, you'll have to trim and shave your face
And if you don't work, you'll starve (so I've got to cry)
Oh Lord, oh Lord, what a sufferation
Oh Lord, oh Lord, what a tribulation (yeah now)
Oh Lord, oh Lord, what a sufferation
