My Life

[Hook]
Dem a pree how Teacha sign me and me gone now
Everybody know 'bout Shawn now
So, when badmind a try stop me
Everyday me pray, chant a Psalms yow
Work hard fi mi cheddar everyday and night
No busy doing folly inna Jah eye sight

[Chorus]
Just in case you didn't know! (oh!)

Work hard everyday, thank God, just to make a little dough (oh!)
A my life
By the sweat of my brow, things slow, but mi love my

And a if you waan fi make it inna life
At first you gotta glow!

[Verse 1]
So the limit is the sky
And even if me fall pon the cloud, me still deh high
By the help of Jah, my light haffi shine
And the only one who can limit that is I
Nah give up, mi haffi try
'Cause, all now me nuh fix mi mother's eye
And mi nah stop hunt fi this 'til mi get it and mek up fi the days me mother cry

Everyday me pray, chant a Psalms yow
Work hard fi mi cheddar everyday and night
No busy doing folly inna Jah eye sight

But a better dem stop talk...
Tell dem fi stop talk
Use mi name just fi make news
And a talk things weh nuh true
But a better dem stop talk...
Tell dem fi stop talk
'Bout, "me nah rise, and a me dem nuh like"
Dem a go watch me a climb out of them eyesight
Nuff of dem a hypocrite, nuff a parasite
'Bout, dem waan spite, a themself dem a fight!
