Lyrics Life's Sweet - Jesse Royal

Life's Sweet

Small axe, longside Nebulus
Conscious, we conscious
Uh!
A tribulation, turn off in abomination
But ghetto youth stay strong
I said it won’t be too long
(Conscious, we conscious)
If life was a thing that money could buy
Rich would a have it, and the poor would die
Life is a thing that money can’t buy
And that is why me praise Rastafari
Wake up this morning, couldn’t find no tea
No water, bread, not a thing to eat
Inna me face temptation staring me
But life’s sweet, Lord (Life's sweet, Lord)
Hey…
Me Astra A-80 calling me
But penitentiary is not for me
Hungry yes, but we far from weak
Life’s sweet, Lord (life's sweet Lord)
There is a zillion ways to the top a the hill
But the view remains the same
Man who wait on the Lord shall be ashamed
Say don’t just get wet when it rains
Mental discipline, no form of giving in
Anxiety different from adrenaline
Let the words of the wise be your medicine
Exuberance begins within
For Jacqueline make a deal with the devil
Haffi gwaan until the score sekkle
Talk the talk, but man rebel
What you see is what you get, me a no Hyde or Jekyll
Nuff a dem a traitor, though dem smile seem true
Like Judas did things just a wait fi the cue
So lead is no welcome 'pon the Natty Avenue
Neither inna me car, says
Wake up this morning, couldn’t find no tea
No water, bread, not a thing to eat
Inna me face temptation staring me
But life’s sweet, Lord (Life's sweet, Lord)
Hey…
Astra A-80 calling me
But penitentiary is not for me
Hungry yes, but we far from weak
Life’s sweet, Lord (life's sweet Lord)
A me say, some have pretty vehicle, some haffi a troddin
Some still survive without no money inna dem pocket
Still I see a night without no current inna dem socket
Don’t fret, my bredda, yearning, Jah no forget it
No drop no bomb, I beg you, don’t fire no rocket
Hold the faith and don’t be too sporadic
Work fi what you want and me bredda you will have it
I know this ain’t no typical topic
But Jacqueline weh make a deal with the devil
Haffi gwaan until the score sekkle
Talk the talk, but man rebel
What you see is what you get, me a no Hyde or Jekyll
Nuff a dem a traitor, though dem smile seem true
Like Judas did things just a wait fi the cue
So lead is no welcome 'pon the Natty Avenue
Neither inna me car, says
A tribulation, turn off in abomination
But ghetto youth stay strong
I said it won’t be too long
A tribulation, turn off in abomination
But ghetto youth stay strong
I said it won’t be too long
A Jah mek river, so we have water
Jah gi' we the sun, so we have light
A Jah make day and a make night
Heh, a who some guy?
Weh dem feel like?
