Lyrics

We used to have such dreams of being a star,
Driving around in big fancy cars,
We never saw the risk in our petty schemes,
All we had an eye for was the colour green.
Now Im sleeping on a bed without a spread,
Drinking water, feasting on a slice of bread,
Can't believe they all had guns and now you're dead.
Need to stop these voices shouting in my head, say,
Roughneck living ain't living,
Gotta cool down with the robbing and killing,
Playing a game where there is no winning,
Easy no star.
Roughneck living ain't living,
Gotta cool down with the robbing and killing.
Playing a game where there is no winning,
Easy no star
Control a corner with a key, a half for you, a half for me,
First we need to score the goods, that's why we planned the robbery
Never know, couldn't know, never know, that the bwoy dem bad like we,
Never know, couldn't know, never know, tell dem start shoot back at me.
Couldn't feel, is the real, brother please, please answer me.
Flashing lights, ugly sights, and my brother starts to scream.
Roughneck living ain't living,
Gotta cool down with the robbing and killing,
Playing a game where there is no winning,
Easy no star.
Roughneck living ain't living,
Gotta cool down with the robbing and killing.
Playing a game where there is no winning,
Easy no star
They let me go to your funeral, yesterday,
I stood beside your grave a didn't have a word to say,
I did my best but there was six a dem, a two a we,
You paid with your life and now I see, momma never lied,
Nothing comes for free, that's why I'm singing,
Roughneck living ain't living,
Gotta cool down with the robbing and killing,
Playing a game where there is no winning,
Easy no star.
Roughneck living ain't living,
Gotta cool down with the robbing and killing.
Playing a game where there is no winning,
Easy no star
Roughneck. You wanna be a roughneck, aayyy ayahahaaa
Roughneck. You wanna be a roughneck,
Roughneck. You wanna be a roughneck, aayyy ayahahaaa
Roughneck. You wanna be a roughneck, roughneck, roughneck aayyy ayahahaaa
(Down with the robbing and killing. Game where there is no winning. Easy no star.)
