Lyrics
Small axe along side Nebulous
Concious we concious
A tribulation tun up in abombination
Come ghetto yute stay strong
A said it won't be too long
Concious we concious
If life was a ting that money could buy
Rich wudda hav it an di poor would die
Life is a ting that money can't buy
An dat is why me praise Rastafari
Wake up dis morning couldn't find notin to eat
Nuh butta bread not a ting to eat
Inna me face temptation staring me
But life sweet lawd, life sweet lawd
Hey me astra hear Haiti calling me
But penitentiary is not for me
Hungry yes but we far from weak
Life sweet lawd (Life sweet lawd)
There is a zillion ways to di top of di hill
But the view remains the same
Man who waits an di lawd shall be ashamed
Seh don't jus get wet when it rains
Mental discipline nuh form a giving in
Anxiety different from adrenaline late
Di great seh di wise via medicine
Exuberance begins within
From weedy Chuckie mek di deal wid di devil
Affi gwaan 'quat until di score sekkle
Talk di talk but di trut dem honourable
Wat yuh see is wat yuh get
Me a nuh Hyde or Jekyll
Nuff a dem a traitor though dem smile seem true
Like Judas the chings jus a wait fi di cue
Saleet is no welcome pon di natty avenue
Neidah inna mi car, Cessna or canoe
Wake up dis morning couldn't find notin to eat
Nuh butta bread not a ting to eat
Inna me face temptation staring me
But life sweet lawd (Life sweet lawd)
Astra hear Haiti calling me
But penitentiary is not for me
Hungry yes but we far from weak
Life sweet lawd (Life sweet lawd)
An me seh some ave pretty vehicle, some affi a trod it
Some still survive widout nuh money inna dem pocket
Still a see a night wid out nuh current inna dem socket
Dont fret my bredda your name Jah nuh figot it
Nuh drop nuh bomb a beg yuh don't fiyah nuh rocket
Hol di faith an don't eat too sporadic
Work fi wat yuh want an me bredda yuh wi hav it
A now di senetry fi collect topic
But Jacqueline weh mek di deal wid di devil
Affi gwaan 'quat until di score sekkle
Talk di talk but di trut dem honourable
Wat yuh see is wat yuh get
Me a nuh Hyde or Jekyll
Nuff a dem a traitor though dem smile seem true
Like Judas the chings jus a wait fi di cue
Saleet is no welcome pon di natty avenue
Neidah inna mi car, Cessna or canoe
A tribulation tun up in abombination
Come ghetto yute stay strong
A said it won't be too long
Tribulation tun up in abombination
Come ghetto yute stay strong
A said it won't be too long
Eeh cah a Jah mek riva so we ave wata
Jah gi we di sun so we ave light
A Jah mek day an a him mek night
A who some guy? Weh dem feel like?
