Lyrics Rocky Road - Alborosie

Rocky Road

Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there’s no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
Leaving you behind if you can’t stand the pace
Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there’s no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
So live your life to the fullest yo, yo
First you learn how to walk, then you learn how fi talk
And everything around you is brand new
Primary school is a blast, time just moving fast
You just a toddler, mama watch over you
And from the tricycle to bicycle
To soother, then the Popsicle
Daddy clear all obstacles
You feeling so untouchable
You pure and pure love inna your heart
Heart of a child is the Kingdom of Jah
A peer cartoons and a lullaby
And Roger rabbit and Popeye
And Spiderman and Super Why!
Dancing crazy inna your mind
The world is too big to be kicked like a ball
You have time to go peep over the wall
Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there’s no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
Leaving you behind if you can’t stand the pace
Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there’s no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
So live your life to the fullest I sey yo, yo
So you start go to college
But rude boy and books it’s a cultural damage
Youth is a challenge
Friends over knowledge, rum over porridge
Bet seh you glad, seh she get a miscarriage
Young is fool and fool is brave
And brave till death stares right in your face
Only you to be blamed and mama told you from when
Move from the ends and bad friends
Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there’s no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
Leaving you behind if you can’t stand the pace
Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there’s no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
So live your life to the fullest yo, yo
For everything there is a season
And a time for every matter
A time to be born and a time to die
A time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted
A time to kill and a time to heal
A time to break down and a time to build up
A time to weep and a time to laugh
Now you teach him how fi to walk
Now you teach him how fi to talk
And all the things them that you learn from you a youth
Fifty candles blow off, memories makes you laugh
Your grand pickney jumping all over you
You buy him the tricycle, the bicycle
You soothe him with the Popsicle
Life it’s all a cycle, it’s written inna the Bible
The longest liver live to see the most
Live for today 'cause tomorrow not a must, well
Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there’s no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
Leaving you behind if you can’t stand the pace
Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there’s no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
So live your life to the fullest yo, yo, yo, yo
