Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I have to live for love
And everyday I fight against the evil
And everynight I try to be no rude boy
In the morning wake early and go for work
Listen to the bakra and laugh in his back
Ongle black up in the evening and gi money to your house
Caus' I need love in life
So I have to live for love
And everyday I fight against the evil
And everynight I try to be no rude boy
Easy to steal, to deal but it's easy to fall
First light you're rich, in a di morrows you're shut
If rudies don't play truants they won't study life in jail
It means I'm not a baldhead, just a man in the jungle
Rude boy you can cry, you can loose and you can run
But don't stop dreamin in your way of life
Badness no gi work, you will not a Bhuttu
If you forgive sometime
Take off your pistol now,
Gunmen work for the evil
A mafia man never build a way
Break your chains, break your chains
The slave become a hot stepper
Wait, work and love in a di morrows
You will be a ranking man
The lion himself sometime lets his place
Like him a day we'll die, we kyaan always survive
In this concrete jungle
Caus' I need love in life
So I have to live for love
And everyday I fight against the evil
And everynight I try to be no rude boy
