Progress boss music
Selah burma
A one genna gwad
Schadenfreude u uwey

You a guh know how struggle feel
Until you broke like dawg
Then you a guh know seh life is real
Suh you nuh fi play pon di battlefield

Genna feel di pain inna di sun all day
Cyan walk inna mi shoes
Cyaan understand mi
Jah jah show mi love
And gimme more rain
Nah follow critics nuh worry yuh brain

Dem too quick fi judge you e nuh yeah
Without dem knowing you
Nuff a dem too quick fi spread rumour carry go come a lie dem a tell

Dont see mi and criticize take a look and analyze it
Dont see mi and condemn if only you can realise
Dont see mi and criticize take a look and analyze it
Dont see mi and condemn if only you can realise

Running from yourself i can see it in your eyes
Wake up from your slumber and see the btight light
Chosen are the few but many are called
Trod pon di narrow nah guh no otherwise
Affi follow mi lane mi nah guh the wrong way
Mi nuh play no blame anoh mi dem cyaan tame
Hot off the press and lock off dem brain
Selah berma a one genna gawd mi name
Cyaan judge a book base pon the cover
Dont carried away by the glitter and glamour
Nuffa dem a bare libi libi laba
If only they know life a noh bed of rose

Dont see mi and criticize take a look and analyze it
Dont see mi and condemn if only you can realise
Dont see mi and criticize take a look and analyze it
Dont see mi and condemn if only you can realise

X amount a things dem talk about we
We nuh cater it nah bother we
Cah we know seh dem nuh like we
But popa god never disappoint we
Dem see man tings and get red eye
See mi a noh see mi i dont give a damn
I mon a diamond inna the dirt
Could a underrate but mi know mi worth

Dem too quick fi judge you enuh yeah
Without dem knowing you
Nuff a dem too quick fi spread rumour
Carry go come a lie dem a tell

Dont see mi and criticize take a look and analyze it
Dont see mi and condemn if only you can realise
Dont see mi and criticize take a look and analyze it
Dont see mi and condemn if only you can realise

You a guh know how struggle feel
Until you broke like dawg




Then you a guh know seh life is real
Suh you nuh fi play pon the battlefield
