Far from Reality
Natural Black Lyrics

Never you lost your way
Don't ever lose your way in life

Or past your way
Don't forget where you came from

Oh! yeah! you got to know what your doing
You have to know what you're doing in life

Mmmmmmhmmm! life is a long journey
Life is a long journey full of ups and downs

Chorus:
Refrain

I met this girl the other day and when i check her
I met a girl and upon closer examination,

She was, far from reality
I realized that she was living in a fantasy world

I never knew that before i met her
I didn't realize that about her until I met her

She was, far far far away,
She was very disconnected from reality

Nuff a d people wey a live an' a recieve an' no give
Many people live and only receive without giving back

Dem, far from reality
They are far from the truth of life

One of me fren cross d bridge, right which part me live
One of my friends crossed the bridge to where I live

Him dey, far far far away
He lives very disconnected from reality

Verse 1:
First verse of the song

Mos' a d people dem, livin' in space
Most people are living in a delusional state

An d spiritual one dem, livin' by grace
Others are living 'spiritually' by grace

I will never forbid them by face
I won't judge them to their face

Corrections put in the right place, yeah
Corrections will be made in the right way

You wear you shoes without socks, you catch fungus
If you wear shoes without socks, you'll catch a fungal infection

Now you want fe trod it like the ash and tungus
Now you want to walk around with your sandals and your broom like it's normal

Wid dem sandals and dem broom
With those sandals and that broom

Dat never roun' us
That never affects us

The more you sleep
The more you sleep and don't pay attention,

You give dem chance fe drown us, yeah
You give them a chance to bring us down

Chorus:
Refrain

Verse 2:
Second verse of the song

Me hear dem a shout out reality check
I hear people shouting out for a reality check

Draw card fi me from d reality deck
Draw a card for me from the reality deck

You musee tink say a so reality mek
You might think that's how reality works

Dem no kno reality yet
They don't know how reality really works yet

Oi, me realise say time deh ahead a dem
I realize that time is ahead of them

You no want fe change, you can wait 'till you get rid a dem
If you don't want to change, you can wait until you get rid of them

A goin sorry for your sistas and your breda dem
I feel sorry for your sisters and your brothers

Dats why me hafee (?)
That's why I have to...

Don't go down the path that would lead the devil to use you

An' next ting u moda an you fada lose you
And the next thing you know, your mother and father lose you

Wicked man out deh, well want fe use you
There are wicked men out there who want to use you

No time no mek dem amuse you, Aiy!
Don't let them amuse you, there's no time for that

And remember to pray on your journey
And don't forget to pray on your journey

Never too late, then make it early
It's never too late to start, but you should start early

Remember your black and comely
Remember to be proud of your blackness

Can we give dis a run, yeah yeah
Let's try this out

If you wear shoes without socks, you'll catch a fungal infection
