Once more, the guerilla a talk And you know when me talk me talk from the heart 'Cause a so me a do it from the start Otherwise I can't, watch this
Chorus: Said every man haffi pay them dues And every man haffi pay them tax 'Cause that's where success is at And when you climb on the ladder And you want reach the top More time you end up inna stumbling block A said serious something A no joke I a crack This is a chronological fact Me no only want you dance Me no only want you rock Me want you listen what Rebel a chat Say, a no no if a no no but a the only way out You haffi work for the food what fi get inna you mouth Step up up up up up in the right route Prepare yourself Lord fi deal with the drought 'Cause it come from all angle, come from all 'bout If a no the east, man a the west If a no the north or south But you fi galang galang without doubt
Chorus
'Cause every successful man will tell you say A no today them a try, neither yesterday But a the substance of faith make them getaway And now a honor and glory fi see where them deh So no give up the race when you inna the middle Just remember a God a pilot you 'Cause no man mi know weh no go through struggle But you must remember, good is over evil
Chorus
'Cause struggle it no new, long time it a go on Long, long, long, long, long, long before I born You haffi go through burry burry thistle and thorn But after a storm there must be a calm Today I see and yesterday me saw Success is always governed by law So if you want progress without problems Just look for the laws and try apply them
Chorus
Nuff want go to heaven yet no want die Them no want grow feather, yet them want fly Them no want cut the tree, no want it fi spread No want bus sweat, but want nyam the most bread Can't work, can't work, that's why things so red Unno fi you stop point the finger and do little instead
Chorus
So hold tight, steadfast, God alone can't bear the cross Progress no cheap you must pay the cost You haffi go through ticki ticki before the green grass Chorus The height that great men reach and kept It never just come immediate A true them work hard, a true them sweat Jah Jah guide them through the valley of the shadow of death Is not a quiz you know what it is Rebel just a talk figurative Is just the life, weh we a live We haffi turn 'roun the negs make them turn positive
Chorus
Say, a no no if a no no but a the only way out You hatfi work for the food what fi get inna you mouth Step up up up up up in the right route Prepare yourself Lord fi deal with the drought 'Cause it come from all angle, come from all 'bout If a no the east, man a the west If a no the north or south But you fi galang galang without doubt
