Like dem nuh know how fi live the good way
Money and gold shall fade away
Suh you cyaa grudge a man fi the things weh him a gain
Like strain and stress pon the brain
And the war out a street and all the blood stain
Harder to maintain, than to obtain
Big up all a the youths pon the minimum wage and

Seh a prayer everything is alright
So I, I give thanks for life
Keep smiling everyday despite
So I, I give thanks for life
Remember your never alone
So I, I give thanks for life
Mad people think they should know

If you love yo life buss blank
If you represent weh you coming from
Even though it's been a distance

Every man burden is heavier
Haffi stand firm am telling you
