Intro:
Humble in this desolate jungle
Know where yuh comin from, where yuh headin or where yuh goin
Knowin dat di kids are growin
Di future and di blessings of life are growin di vibes flowin
Verse 1:
There is a time in life yuh haffi stop and tink
When yuh used to live inna di boat and sink
Yuh nah nuh food fi eat nah nuh tea fi drink
And yuh one pair a shoes start stink
And although yuh girls siddung on yuh yard
Caan trust nuh man cause dog eat dod
Rememba seh mi tell yuh when yuh fly go abroad
May I beg yuh life pon guard
Chorus:
Because when yuh check it back, a nuff leff Jamdown and nuh mek it back, no
So dem end up takin crack, dem married to di white lady and dem black, whoa
But if yuh bredda reach di top, yuh try keep my strength it nuh need fi flop, no
Cause every fruit seed yuh drop, a badmind a prepare fi reap di crop, whoa
Verse 2:
Well! Each one teach one a so we dweet charm
Nuff poison life yuh fi reach one
Street knowledge when mi bringin now mi street song
Education a di key yuh fi keep strong
Every man have vision and a dream plan
Dem searchin di promise and di green land
Some a look fi a shoulda fi lean pon
Dem nuh have nuh ambition
Chorus:
Because when yuh check it back, a nuff leff Jamdown and nuh mek it back, no
So dem end up takin crack, dem married to di white lady and dem black, whoa
But if yuh bredda reach di top, yuh try keep my strength it nuh need fi flop, no
Cause every fruit seed yuh drop, a badmind a prepare fi reap di crop, whoa
Verse 3:
Some a trod along, to anodda land, dem nuh give a damn, about anodda man
She dem badda than Al Quaida and Taliban
And neva buss a gun, much less a bomb
Some yardman, go tun American, tink dem original, but dem a second hand
Some nuh have nuh he (?) dem nuh have nuh plan
Can run a mile much less a marathon
Chorus:
Cause when yuh check it back, a nuff leff Jamdown and nuh mek it back, no
So dem end up takin crack, dem married to di white lady and dem black, whoa
But if yuh bredda reach di top, yuh try keep my strength it nuh need fi flop, no
Cause every fruit seed yuh drop, a badmind a prepare fi reap di crop, whoa
Repeat Verse 1
Repeat Chorus until end |
