Hard time
Won't you leave me alone
I am just a ???
Can't make ??? a stone

Now the race is not for the swift
Nor the battle for the strong
But for those who can endure
Although this hard time seems long

A me say "Hard, Hard Time please leave me alone"
I am just a ???
Can't make ??? a stone

I said I've done no wrong

Now the race is not for the swift
Nor the battle for the strong
But for those who can endure
'Cause this hard time seems long

Hard time
ooh wee
Hard time

I am just a ???
Can't make ??? a stone

Hard time
Always bring hard crime

A me say "Hard time"
Can't make ??? a stone

Won't you leave me alone

Hard time

Poor Natty
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL_O0veTzIY

Now natty wasn't in a position to treat her the way that she wanted
So she said she can't afford to put her eggs not all in one basket

And she started running up and down
Giving her love all over town
Until natty started to step it one a way
Because she said she couldn't stay
Cause he didn't have a car in his possession to take to the party
And the clothes that he was wearing were torn and tampered but still he was hearty

But what a rude little girl like that
Oh what a rude little girl like that
What a rude little girl like that

Natty step it in the party
Met someone else at the party

Oh yeah

But what a rude little girl like that
Oh what a rude little girl like that
What a rude little girl like that

Repeat...

[reggae_ragga]

in the first one he says
"Im just a mortal man" and then "cant make blood out of stone" but Im not sure about blood and stone

[jumbo shower]

reggae-ragga: you're right

Many thanks Chong and everybody. i really appreciate dat. and "mortal man" and "make blood" was really the hardest parts.
