Life gets hard sometimes... but a little banda tune and some barbeque can help you get by!

lyrics

Now, let me tell you about the time when I come to move downtown
Said, let me tell you about the time when I come to move downtown
Well I was poor and rent was cheap
And my bills had dug a hole for me, six feet deep
And a low-income apartment was all that I had found

Now, Everybody’s life gets hard one time or another
Said, everybody’s life gets hard one time or another
But for every day in hell
Is like one more drop in a wishing well
And now I know, I know, I know now what it’s like to suffer

That’s why I’m singing…
Everythings alright, everythings OK, I’m no no crazy
No, I’m just living in a Ghetto
No, No, You don’t have to worry about me

Because the time goes slow, but the money goes fast
Somehow or another, gotta make it last
Don’t let it slip away!

And there’s a girl upstairs and she cries, but I don’t know what to do
Said the girl upstairs and she cries, but I don’t know what to do
(Boo Hoo) Yeah the girl upstairs cries out
And I don’t even know what she’s cryin’ about
But I know, I know she’s so sad, she make me sad too

So I said “Harriet, come downstairs and join my barbeque!”
I said, “Harriet, get your ass down here, you better join my barbeque!”
Where there’s a lot of food to eat
And there’s a place where you can rest your feet
And I know, I know, I know now… That you’ll like my barbeque!

And then I tell her…
Everythings alright, everythings OK, you’re not crazy
No, you’re just with me, in a Ghetto
No, No, You don’t have to worry about it

Because the time goes slow, but the money goes fast
Somehow or another, gotta make it laaaaaaaast
Don’t let it slip away!
