Rain a Fall

Rain A Fall and dutty tough But that didn't cause my mother or father to be a cruff Instead it make dem realize that things not easy They had three children to support so they put dem head together and open a stall and called it "Rain A Fall" Yes, "Rain A fall"... Rain A Fall and Dutty tough Through all de struggles, my father and mother didn't once think to be a cruff When the times got harder, my father decide that him couldn't bear to see my mother coming home so late to feed wi so him tell her to quit working, stop selling clothes on the roadside cause it nuh easy. Yes, Rain a Fall and Dutty tough. Wi go through many struggles but never once have we considered being cruffs Mi mother quit her little "hustling" and tun her full attention to raising wi. Mi father hold on to him little job at the factory and after many years of stuggles, dem proudly welcome dem pickneys- Teacher, Accountant, Supervisor Yes, Rain A Fall and Dutty tough But that is no excuse to be a cruff!
