Big City Life

Big city life, mi try fi get by

Pressure nah ease up nuh matta how hard mi try

Big city life, here my heart have no base

And right now Babylon deh pon mi case

Big city life, try fi get by

Pressure nah ease up nuh matta how hard mi try

Big city life, my heart have no base

And right now Babylon deh pon mi case

People in a show

All lined in a row

We just push on by

It's funny how hard we try

Take a moment to relax

Before you do anything rash

Don't you wanna know me

Be a friend of mine?

I'll share some wisdom with you

Don't you ever get lonely

From time to time?

Don't let the system get you down

Big city life, mi try fi get by

Pressure nah ease up nuh matta how hard mi try

Big city life, here my heart have no base

And right now Babylon deh pon mi case

Big city life, try fi get by

Pressure nah ease up nuh matta how hard mi try

Big city life, my heart have no base

And right now Babylon deh pon mi case

Soon our work is done

All of us, one by one

Still we live our lives

As if all this stuff survives

Don't you wanna know me

Be a friend of mine? (A friend of mine)

I'll share some wisdom with you

Don't you ever get lonely

From time to time?

Don't let the system get you down

The linguist across the seas and the oceans

A permanent itinerant is what I've chosen

I find myself in a big-city prison

Arisen from the vision of mankind

Designed to keep me discreetly, neatly in the corner

You'll find me with the flora and the fauna and the hardship

Back ah yard is where my heart is

Still I find it hard to depart this big city life

Big city life, mi try fi get by

Pressure nah ease up nuh matta how hard mi try

Big city life, here my heart have no base

And right now Babylon deh pon mi case

Big city life, try fi get by

Pressure nah ease up nuh matta how hard mi try

Big city life, my heart have no base

And right now Babylon deh pon mi case

Big city life, mi try fi get by

Pressure nah ease up nuh matta how hard mi try

Big city life, here my heart have no base

And right now Babylon deh pon mi case

Big city life, try fi get by

Pressure nah ease up nuh matta how hard mi try

Big city life, my heart have no base

And right now Babylon deh pon mi case
