[Intro]
Tru Ambassador Music
Yo Jahvy!
Wha' do I know? Wha' do I know?
Mi dawg Jahvy produced da one yah, you zeet... (Trust nobody!)
[Chorus]
Creator, show we the way, we cyan see it so clearly
Never ask fi nothing yet, but if you a hear we...
Protect we from the wicked and evil weh come near we
That's all we really a beg you do
Man a drop daily, politicians fail we
Still a smile all when dem treat we unfairly
Only thing we 'fraid of, a fear, that shit scares me
That's why we go as hard as we do
[Verse 1]
(Hey!)
Wha' the fuck do I know? In life you never know when
I'm gonna take my time and use it, seize the fucking moment
In a league of my own, no I'm not your opponent
Nothing me hate inna life like a snake or a fucking rodent
Dem cyan stop my show, that a one thing me know
Gunshot fly through your bloodclaat headside if you ever hurt all my ego
Same way how me send Ambassador a road, same way me send Gego
Dem a say mi numbers dem too good
Dem a say me buy views pon Vevo
Okay then
Still a give dem mayhem
When we beat the odds, I wonder what they gonna say then
We just happy say we no lock 'way behind no railing
And even though we never meet the High, we still a hail him
[Chorus]
Sometimes I get so mad when I see gunbags
Hype and brag like dem wicked and bad, yow
Sometimes mi say, "Fuck it, burn up dem whole squad"
But then me 'memba say dem youth yah bruk, dem life sad
But I get so mad when I see gunbags (Cyan hear me?)
Gwan like say dem cyan get dem toe tagged
Yow, sometime mi say, "Fuck it, burn up dem whole squad"
But then me 'memba say dem youth yah bruk, dem nuh have a job
Yow
[Verse 2]
Cyan get no break, God damn!
Dem a test mi faith, badman
Instigate, send police a try frustrate badman
Cyan get no break (No break)
Cyan get no break, no
Cyan get no break (No brea-a-k)
Hey bitch, I'm in a good mood, check this
All my life all me wanted was fi get rich
Diamonds inna mi bezel, diamonds all over mi necklace
Try no kill nobody, but dem a walk 'round with a death wish
Haffi protect this, know dem no expect this
Put in whole heap of work and teach dem fi respect this
(Respect this)
Mommy say, "Son, careful, no be reckless"
"No make dem stray your medz
The crown a yours, no make dem take this"
[Bridge]
That's why me mad when me see gunbags (So mad)
Hype and brag like dem wicked and bad, yow
Sometimes mi say, "Fuck it, burn up dem whole squad"
But then me 'memba say dem youth yah bruk, dem life sad
[Chorus]
Creator, show we the way, we cyan see it so clearly
Never ask fi nothing yet, but if you a hear we...
Protect we from the wicked and evil weh come near we
That's all we really a beg you do
Man a drop daily, politicians fail we
Still a smile all when dem treat we unfairly
Only thing we 'fraid of, a fear, that shit scares me
That's why we go as hard as we do
[Outro]
(Wha' do I know?)
