Lucky Dube- Born To Suffer Lyrics

Born to suffer [x5]

The jealousy of the people
We are depending on
For the growth of children
If they treat them right
We gonna have a brighter future
If they treat them wrong
We gonna have nothing in the world
If they grow up without their parents
Whose gonna tell them this is right?
If they grow up without their parent
Whose gonna tell them this is wrong?

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

Born to suffer

You gotta watch out my son
If your mother doesn’t care for you
You gotta watch out my son
If your father doesn’t care for you
Kwashiorkor is there
It’s gonna attack you
They need parental care
They need spiritual care

If they grow up without their parent
Whose gonna tell this is
Right (tell them)
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 [x5]
