"One Life" lyrics
(Time has come for hear the truth)
Yo yo yo yo
Some bwoy don't neva learn
(About this tragic war)
Neva learn
Skin a burn, skin a burn
(Men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government's policy)
Yo yo
(Especially in time of war)
Wah wi tell dem
Some bwoy don't neva learn
Tell dem put down di gun 'cah nuff man skin a burn
But dem still pick it up back
Like dem don't give a fuck, dem nah tek nuh chat
Nuff a dem don't concern
Fi nuh life none at all, dem a hustle hard, money got di herb
Like dem 'tick a wrong turn
Talk, wi a talk all di truth an' bun dem out
Some gyal nah live life right
Fleet an' fly off, tek new man, every night
An' a suh gyal fi live dem lives
'Cah nuh man nah guh wuk an' tek dem as wife
Some a move like parasites
An' a dem mouth dem out everyting unda my sight
Dis world fi open his eyes
We've only got one life, believe it, live it
Careful how yuh lead it, lead it
Writings on di wall
I wanna know if yuh can read it, read it
Life, believe it, live it
Careful how yuh lead it, lead it
Writings on di wall
I wanna know if yuh can read it, read it
Politician an' pasta
Some a dem good fi lead, some a cause a disasta
Dat's why wi nah listen dem speech
'Cah none a dem practicin' what dem preach
Like money a di masta
If a dat dem a praise den dem nah guh last yah
Wi hear di everlasta
Talk, wi a talk 'bout di truth an' bun dem out
All a who a ex dot, ah
An' a cause bare pain pon Jah sons an' dawta
Dat tun mi eye wata
Fi see di people dem a live up inna bare blood boat yah
Man fi change dem path yah
Stop lead all di innocent lamb to di slaughta
Earthquake gwaan start yah
We've only got one life, believe it, live it
Careful how yuh lead it, lead it
Writings on di wall
I wanna know if yuh can read it, read it
Life, believe it, live it
Careful how yuh lead it, lead it
Writings on di wall
I wanna know if yuh can read it, read it
Dis world on pollution
It a kill off di yutes an' a cause confusion
Climate an' di atmosphere
Global warnin' an' dem don't care
Nuff a live inna illusion
Every bam weh yuh drop man a hurt batta bruise an'
There ain't nuh solution
Nuh job, nuh money, nuh food is diffusion
There ain't nuh excuse, man
'Cah di so called bigga heads a gwaan like a lose man
An' a sell out di yute man dem
Issue dem gun fi shoot up dem fren
From a life yuh a choose, man
Dem try put yuh foot inna a necks man shoes an'
Follow dis conclussion
We've only got one life, believe it, live it
Careful how yuh lead it, lead it
Writings on di wall
I wanna know if yuh can read it, read it
Life, believe it, live it
Careful how yuh lead it, lead it
Writings on di wall
I wanna know if yuh can read it, read it
Di worl' needs to open his eyes
Di worl' needs to open his eyes
Yo yo yo yo
Some bwoy don't neva learn
