Gentleman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nah decide to stay home
Everybody gotta seek their own
Everyone wants to reach
No one wants their own
Even when dem try confound
Even when dem hol' you down
Let them know the world go round
See they a gotta chirt the straight and narrow
Wonder what di world will be tomorrow
Will it be joy or will it be sorrow
Who knows
I wish I could fly just like an arrow
If I had wings jus' like a sparrow
Flying beyond the hills of Jahro
There it goes
I mek a search an' fin' out
So wicked people neva tek no time out
Dem work twenty-four seven fi knock yuh shine out
Mi si dem nah plan fi gan tek di crime out
Now di youths are willing to sign out
Nah reach di edge of Amy Winehouse
Are you really planning to blow your mind out
Why yuh neva think dis a Jah Divine House
Think twice before yuh g'an tek di 9 out
Now yuh a fallen inna a too genuine to climb out
Still hear my people cryin' out
While the bad ones live
The good ones are dyin' out
Be carefull fishaman
Or yuh throw your line out
The inspiration of di song is
To leave the blind out
Love and liberation is what we rhyme 'bout
East, west, north and south
Today a gotta chirt the straight and narrow
Wonder what di world will be tomorrow
Will it be joy or will it be sorrow
Who knows (who knows)
I wish I could fly just like an arrow
If I had wings jus' like a sparrow
Flying beyond the hills of Jahro
There it goes (there it goes, there it goes)
The world is on the verge of change, eh
And nothin' stays the same (nothin' stays the same)
But if by chance yuh find it's change (eha)
It's just the parts of what's ordain, eh
These are the times
These are the times
Fulfillment of prophesy
(But we) But we break down those walls
Break down those walls
Let they be wit' hypocrisy
Chyah!
Today a gotta chirt the straight and narrow
Wonder what di world will be tomorrow
Will it be joy, will it be sorrow
Who knows
I wish I could fly just like an arrow
If I had wings jus' like a sparrow
Flying beyond the hills of Jahro
There it goes (there it goes, there it goes)
Today a gotta chirt the straight and narrow
Wonder what di world will be tomorrow
Will it be joy, will it be sorrow
Who knows, who knows
I wish I could fly just like an arrow
If I had wings jus' like a sparrow
Flying beyond the hills of Jahro
There it goes (there it goes, there it goes)
The song "Tomorrow" by Gentleman is an ode to moving on and making a change. The lyrics express the idea that it's time to move forward and leave the past behind.

Gentleman mentions that he has options to choose from, indicating that he has the power to make a change and create a better future for himself.
The second verse speaks of facing obstacles, struggling and persevering through difficult times. The line "Long time they come cross the border, Try to ? walkin a crew, Don't accept the new world order, Bustas!" is a nod to the plight of immigrants and marginalized communities, who often face barriers in their attempts to better their lives. The chorus repeats the main message of the song: it's time to move on and make a change.
Overall, "Tomorrow" is a call to action, urging listeners to take control of their lives and move forward with purpose and determination.

Step out a your comfort zone
Nah decide fi stay home
Everybody got to seek their own
Everyone wants to reach, no one wants to roam
Even when dem try confound
Even when dem hold you down
Let dem know the world go 'round
Let dem know the world go 'round
Today I got to trod the straight and narrow
Wonder what the world will be tomorrow
Will it be joy or will it be sorrow
Who knows (who knows, who knows)
I wish I could fly just like an arrow
If I had wings just like a sparrow
Flying beyond the hills of Jaro, there goes
I make a search and find out
Seh wicked people never take no time out
Dem work 24/7 fi knock your shine out
You seek seh dem nah plan fi go take the crime out
Now the youths are willing to sign out
Nah reach the age of Amy Winehouse
Are you really planning to blow your mind out
Why you never think to seek Jah divine out
Think twice, before you go take the Nine out
Now you are falling hard, ?? want to climb out
Still here, my people crying out
Where the bad ones live, the good ones are dying out
Be careful fisherman how you throw your line out
The inspiration of the song is to lead the blind out
Love and liberation is what we rhyme 'bout
East, west, north and south
Today I got to trod the straight and narrow
Wonder what the world will be tomorrow
Will it be joy, will it be sorrow
Who knows (who knows)
I wish I could fly just like an arrow
If I had wings just like a sparrow
Flying beyond the hills of Jaro, there goes
(There goes, there goes)
The world is on the verge of change, hey
And nothing stays the same (nothing stays the same)
But if I sense you find it strange (hey aah)
It's just the part of what's ordained - hey
These are the times (these are the signs)
The fulfilment of prophecy
But we break down those walls (break down those walls)
Tek the be-would hypocrisy (cha)
Today I got to trod the straight and narrow
Wonder what the world will be tomorrow
Will it be joy, will it be sorrow
Who knows (who knows, who knows)
I wish I could fly just like an arrow
If I had wings just like a sparrow
Flying beyond the hills of Jaro, there goes
(There goes, there goes)
Today I got to trod the straight and narrow
Wonder what the world will be tomorrow
Will it be joy, will it be sorrow
Who knows (who knows)
I wish I could fly just like an arrow
If I had wings just like a sparrow
Flying beyond the hills of Jaro, there goes
(There goes, there goes)
