It Will Come (A Musician's Life Story) - Tarrus Riley

My girl said

Why don't you go get a job

That's what she asks me everyday

And she says

Music is not no real work

So I have nothing to say

And she seh

Wah mek yu hafi go rehearsal everyday

Wah mek yu haffi go a studio

Pan mi birthday

When was the last time you came home

Before midnight

And I said to her

Baby one day you will overstan

I'm only a man working hard for my family

And though rewards may not come right away

Have some faith this I know

It will come it will come it will come

She sey it will come

Can you give me a day or a time

Or betta yet do you mind telling all of your plans to the landlord

And she sey

I have no faith and I won't even pretend

And by the way do you remember

Tomorrow is rent

You say you love me a lot but that can't put food inna pot no way

Then I say all I ask of you is take your time you might wake the child even though you're angry

Though rewards may not come right away have some faith this I know

It will come it will come it must come

If you would only help me in our persuit for happiness

Then you wouldn't have to worry no more no more

Try and remember when we met we were so happy yes

Help me bring back those days those days will come it will come

Believe me it will come will come

Baby

It will come it will come it will come things will be better it will come
