Another scorcher from the forthcoming 'Havana Meets Kingston - Part 2' album.
Featuring Jamaican singer Stevie Culture (who Mista Savona first worked with on his seminal 2007 'Melbourne Meets Kingston' album), the song is a call to stay positive and resourceful in these challenging times. There is always a solution to any problem! The message is to stay POSITIVE.
This is a soundsystem banger, play it loud and boost the subs.

Rah!
Mista Savona (right)
And Stevie Culture (brap brap brap)
Woah, woah-oy, Ay !
We Can Do It (Yes We Can)
Jah will help us get through it, Ay
We Can Do It (Yes We Can)
Jah will help us get through it, guess why
Chorus
Don’t you ever think about the problem
Think of all the ways that you can solve them
Set a better trend for our children
They cannot learn if there is no one to teach them
Don’t you ever worry ‘bout the problem
Think of all the ways that we can solve them
Set a better trend for our children
They’ll go astray if there is no one to lead them
So much trouble in the world right now
Stressing out man and woman, boys and girls right now
So I’m appealing to the world right now
It’s time we bring the love and heal the world right now
It’s time to change the things we do right now
‘Cause if we don’t it’s gonna be bad for me and you right now
This is my message to you right now
I hope we got the message getting through, watch ya!
Chorus
Don’t you ever think about the problem
Think of all the ways that you can solve them
Set a better trend for our children
They cannot learn if there is no one to teach them
Don’t you ever worry ‘bout the problem
Think of all the ways that we can solve them
Set a better trend for our children
They’ll go astray if there’s no one, watch ya!
The problem that we face is mostly man-made
That’s why when things are happening Rastaman is not afraid
We’ve been warning them about this, for years and decades
They laugh after us and say our heads should be shaved
Now that Prophecy reveal
Now Mankind start to feel
And now we come back again
To let you know that there’s a solution for all the problem
And it’s Love, solution is Love
And overstanding (overstanding)
Overstanding (overstanding), yeh
The solution is Love
Is Love
And overstanding
That is the feeling (is the feeling)
That’s why I say -
Chorus
Don’t you ever think about the problem
Think of all the ways that you can solve them
Set a better trend for our children
They cannot learn if there is no one to teach them
Don’t you ever worry ‘bout the problem
Think of all the ways that we can solve them
Set a better trend for our children
They’ll go astray if there’s no one
So mi seh love and overstanding
A lot of people don’t know the meaning
They have no heart so they have no feeling
All they care about is wealth piled up to the ceiling (again)
Love and overstanding
A lot of people don’t know the meaning
They have no heart so they have no feeling
All they care about is wealth piled up tall up straight to their ceiling, cah
Suffering it isn’t nice
Once you feel it once you never want to feel it twice
Gonna stay busy try to straighten out my life
Try my very best to keep my family and life
Cah when you facing sufferation you are always stress
When your necessary means isn’t always met
So I am working very hard to protect my interests
And that is why I have no time to worry and fret
Chorus
I won’t worry about the problem
I’d rather find some solution to solve them
Set a better trend for our children
They cannot learn if there is no one to teach them
Don’t you ever worry ‘bout the problem
Think of all the ways that we can solve them
Set a better trend for our children
They’ll go astray if there’s no one
Redder, redder, redder, redder pon dem
Hotta, hotta, hotta, hotta fire pon dem
Redder, redder, redder, redder pon dem
Hotta, hotta, hotta, hotta fire pon dem

And Stevie Culture
Whoa, whoa-oy, ay !
