Lucky 5 and cash pot
So when time unuh si mi out yah suh
Mi a work fi the jackpot
DJ.mi no know which number a play
Today might be mi lucky day
No matter how mi pocket dem stay
Pray seh mi don't lose mi ticket
Without life no chance no deh fi win it
Yo haffi full a patient like clinic

Life is a gamble
Haffi play dem yah time of the angle
Have faith that a all weh wi can do
Tell yo seh life is a gamble
Haffi play dem yah time of the angle

Look paw mi mouth buff squal
Mi know one day out a the 6 4 must call
Even the bonus part
So in a the game put mi energy and focus hard
Firm like a stone tough wall
The mount a lose weh mi lose in a sure fi mi win
Before mi bone crush small

Life is a gamble
Haffi play dem yah time of the angle
Have faith that a all weh wi can do
Tell yo seh life is a gamble
Haffi play dem yah time of the angle
Have faith that a all weh wi can do
The lyrics of Propa Fade's song Jackpot speak to the idea that life is like the lottery - unpredictable, with wins and losses along the way. The opening lines "Life remind mi a the lotto/Lucky 5 and cash pot" highlight this comparison, as the artist notes that in life there is no guarantee of success, just like there is no guarantee of winning the lottery. Despite this, Propa Fade remains determined to work towards the "jackpot" in life, refusing to give up even when times are tough.
Throughout the song, Propa Fade uses the idea of playing the lottery as a metaphor for taking risks in life. He acknowledges that he doesn't always know which "numbers to play" or what the right decisions are, but maintains an attitude of perseverance and faith. The lines "Have faith that a all weh wi can do" emphasize this point, suggesting that even when things seem uncertain, holding onto a positive attitude and believing in oneself can make all the difference.
