Wheel And Shoulder
Wheel & Shoulder: Unveiling the Struggle for Hope and Survival
Lyrics
Who say that they see? Who say they know
Questioning those who claim knowledge and insight
How the late-stage runnings a go
Reflecting on the challenges of late-stage situations
Men who sit up high get low
Noting that those in high positions can experience downfall
Who say that they see & know?
Reiterating the skepticism towards those who claim to see and know
Remember when cool water winds blow
Recalling a time of refreshing winds and hope
Carrying hope for tomorrow
Describing a period carrying optimism for the future
The way you reap you did sew
Highlighting the consequences of one's actions (you reap what you sow)
Remember nothing nuh go so now
Contrasting the past with the current state of affairs
Is only wheel & shoulder, is only wheel & shoulder now
Emphasizing the cyclic nature of challenges and burdens
Is hungry youth & soldier, & there is no getting over now
Acknowledging the struggles of both hungry youth and soldiers
The whole of every nation crying
Observing widespread distress across nations
I’m sayin all-night bawling
Expressing the intensity of sorrow and despair
Do you hear? Heart breaking sorrow
Calling attention to the heartbreaking nature of the cries
No kind a hope for tomorrow now
Despairing over the lack of hope for the future
Is only wheel & shoulder, is only wheel & shoulder now
Reiterating the cyclical burden on wheel and shoulder
Is angry youth & soldier, & only time getting older now
Highlighting the aging process and ongoing struggles
Recall them pondering some ways to come over
Recalling contemplation on overcoming challenges
When all through wandering ways moving over ends
Noting the end of wandering and the suffering of the poor
A lot of suffering poor people drop over then
Describing the tragic consequences for suffering people
More struggling poor people tip over then
Highlighting the continued struggle of poor individuals
Just through them shoulder to the wheel every night again
Emphasizing the consistent effort to contribute (shoulder to the wheel)
Nuh true them shoulder to the wheel? Man lose sight again
Noting that some lose sight despite their efforts
All kind a love run away from the people then
Expressing the loss of various forms of love among the people
Mercy gone away from the people then
Highlighting the absence of mercy in the current situation
Mad to put some zeros together in a line
Commenting on manipulating numbers without empathy
Now them hungry-belly-blind, all of the youth a turn soldier
Observing the impact of hunger on the youth, leading some to become soldiers
And there is no getting over now, still man have to answer again
Acknowledging the inevitability of facing consequences
Who say that they see? Who say they know?
Repeating the questioning of those claiming knowledge
How the late stage runnings a go?
Reflecting on the progression of late-stage situations
Men who sit up high get low, men who moving slick move slow
Noting the vulnerability of those in high positions and the contrast in movement
Remember when cool water winds blow
Recalling a time of hope and optimism
Still carry hope for tomorrow
Continuing to carry hope for the future despite challenges
The way you reap you did sew
Reiterating the consequences of one's actions
Remember nothing nuh go so now (2x)
Emphasizing the certainty that things won't go as planned
Remember nothing never go so now (2x)
Repeating the idea that nothing ever goes as planned
Is only wheel & shoulder now (2x)
Reiterating the cyclic nature of wheel and shoulder
Is only wheel & shoulder, is only time getting older
Stating that only time is progressing and getting older
Is angry youth & soldier, is only wheel & shoulder
Highlighting the struggles of angry youth and soldiers on the wheel and shoulder
Is only wheel & shoulder, all I see is hungry youth & soldier
Observing the prevalence of hungry youth and soldiers with no resolution in sight
And there no getting over, whoa-oh-oh
Reiterating the inevitability of the ongoing challenges
