(Verse 1)
Progress, strive in a life
Cyaa meck it seems like a only gun and knife
This world is not a paradise
Stray shot catch you now it left you paralyze
Mama did a warn you wid tears in her eyes
Long time shi a tell you seh fi left that type a life
This Friday a you nine night
And a Saturday you should a left out pon the flight
(Chorus)
Who cyaa hear must feel
Trust in a God you cyaa trust in a the steel
Who cyaa hear must feel
Trust in a God you cyaa trust in a the steel
Cause life real, life real
Cause life real, life real
A nuh movie scene this life real
A nuh movie scene this life real
(Verse 2)
Now you dead gone left you likkle daughter
And mi know a nuh da life deh shi ask fah
Tears just a run like water
You family dem nuh deserve that no sah
Mi waan the youths dem seh fi low the fast lane
Leave the needle in a vane
A positivity fi put in a you brain
Caw ghetto youth fi have dem own a airplane
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Sit down and medz da song yah
And write it with mi pen
Warning all the youths be-careful who you call you friend
Nough nuh wish you good dem waan fi see you life end
Believe mi yow it serious

It real, it real, it real, it real, it real, it real
It real, it real, it real, it real, it real, it real
It real, it real, it real, it real, it real, it real
(Repeat Chorus)
