"Oak Tree" lyrics

Rough life is all mi know
Nuff nights we fall right down

Fresh off a e boat
Like a slave, anuh laugh nor joke
Dawg brave, and rich off a e coke
E machine weh kick off like sport
God alone judge mi, nuh bwoy inna court
Mi see man tun bwoy inna e court
Rain fall and nuh water a soak
Through di roof, but mi heart have hope
Drink hard and smoke
Vision fi lef' yard and float
Problems tall like rope
We nuh easy fi fall, like oak
Money get all a e vote
Man a look far inna scope
Nuh fi bathe wid half a e soap
Nuh food fi gah my throat
Still stand tall like oak

Rough life is all I know, yeah
Nuff nights we fall right down
Huntin' all part a e town
Someting fi call my own
For someting fi call my own
Rough life is all I know
Nuff nights we fall right down
Huntin' all part a e—

Food fi plate
Move through e gate
Life nah go smooth, feel great
But di fight nah go lose, we great
Nuh time fi snooze, we wake (Life sweet)
Go find di clues fi cake (Solid)
Nuh time di youths will break
So shine yuh light pon mi
Put on mi shoes fi race (Ah)
Widout mi psalm nuh too feel safe (Ah)
Tell mi dawg, a food we chase
Help mi Lord, go through these days
Growin' through real tears (Mama)
Powerful we growing through these years
Woulda fi lose these fears
Did a lose some people

Rough life is all I know, yeah
Nuff nights we fall right down
Huntin' all part a e town
Someting fi call my own
For someting fi call my own, yeah
Rough life is all I know
Nuff nights we fall right down
Huntin' all part a e—

Rough life is all I know, yeah
Nuff nights we fall right down
Huntin' all part a e town
Someting fi call my own
For someting fi call my own
Rough life is all I know, yeah
Nuff nights we fall right down
Huntin' all part a e—
