Lyrics Everyman's Burden - Jah Mali

Well now, I man tell you I ready
So you shouldn't bother worry (No-no-no-no)

Your blues ain't like mine
Every man's burden is heavy, yeah
Your blues ain't like mine
Every man's burden is heavy, yeah
Your blues ain't like mine
Every man's burden is heavy, yeah
Your blues ain't like mine
Every man's burden

You claim say you hungry
From morning you no drink no tea
Yet you sit idly, complaining daily
Well, you should put your shoulders to the wheel
The way to earn an honest meal
So now I tell you how I feel
My feelings I reveal (Say)

Your blues ain't like mine
Every man's burden is heavy, yo
Your blues ain't like mine
Every man's burden is heavy, yeah
Your blues ain't like mine
Every man's burden is heavy, well
Your blues ain't like mine
Your little weight you got to carry, yeah

So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up (Oh)
Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up (No now)
Time to live up, live up, live up, live up
Live up, live up, live up, live up (Well now)
Don't you give up, give up, give up, give up
Give up, give up, give up, give up, give up

Got one solution for your problem (Oh, well)
Only Jah can solve them (I tell you)
Jah can quench your thirst
So just put Him first
With Jah you will burst
No, heathen cannot curse (Say)

Your blues ain't like mine
Every man's burden is heavy, yo
Your blues ain't like mine
Your little weight you got to carry, yeah
Your blues ain't like mine
Every man's burden is heavy, yes
Your blues ain't like mine
Your little weight you got to carry, yeah

So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up

Heights of great men reached and kept (Woah-oh)
Attained while the idle slept (Well now)
Now dem think of sudden flight
While we were toiling through the night
Jah Jah, He a shown up the light
And now I make my plight (Say)

Your blues ain't like mine
Every man's burden is heavy, yo
Your blues ain't like mine
Your little weight you got to carry, yeah
Your blues ain't like mine
Every man's burden is heavy, yes
Your blues ain't like mine
Your little weight you got to-

Say, you're hungry
From morning you no drink no tea
Yet you sit idly, complaining daily
Put your shoulders to the wheel
The way to earn an honest meal
So now I tell you how I feel
My feelings I reveal (Yes, say)

Your blues ain't like mine
Every man's burden is heavy, yeah
Your blues ain't like mine
Your little weight you got to carry, yeah
Your blues ain't like mine
Every man's burden is heavy, yes
Your blues ain't like mine
Your little weight you got to carry, yeah

So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
