Lyrics Born to Suffer (Live) - Lucky Dube

Born to sufferthe better of the people
Are depending on
On the deeds of the children
If they teach them right
They gonna have a brighter future
If they teach them wrong
We gonna have nothing in the world
If they grow up without their parent
Whose gonna tell them this is right
If they grow up without their parent
Whose gonna tell this is wrong

Without their mother
Children suffering
Without their father
Children suffering
Without their parent's help

BORN TO SUFFER

You gonna watch out my son
If your mother doesn't care for you
You gonna watch out my son
If your father doesn't care for you
Kwashiokor is there
Its gonna attack you
They need parental care
They need spiritual care

If they grow up without their parent
Whose gonna tell this is right
If they grow up without their parent
Whose gonna tell them this is wrong

Without the mother
Children suffering
Without the father
Children suffering
Without the parent help

BORN TO SUFFER
