Dedicating this one to di world
Dedicate to all boys and all girls
Yeah
All ghetto youth, life is long, so live and move militant, seen?
Watch yah now
Mankind
It's like
Life is good, but death is unkind
Nuff of dem nah go know 'til a man blow dem mind, yeah
All dem a roll up, and a flip up, and a gwaan
Badman, fi dem a man nah create
But you see di gun business, unuh fi drop it
Put down di Glock 17 and di matic
When unuh see police, unuh deh run like a rabbit
Bwoy, a bet unuh stand up one day and defend it
Glock 'pon yuh hip, mi a dare you fi touch it
So if unuh end up inna one night bout, casket
Under di ground weh di man dem a go dash it
Informer give information, dem no miss
Which hospital yuh born and which one a di district
And weh yuh name, and what yuh age, dem tell police it
Yuh trafficking yuh drugs and yuh swear say yuh slick
'Til all of a sudden police make a hit
And if yuh gwan like yuh fit, police get yuh unfit
I sing this
Life is good, but death is unkind
Nuff of dem nah go know 'til a man blow dem mind, yeah
All dem a lick up, and a flip up, and a gwaan
Badman, fi dem a man, watch yah
I live inna di ghetto, me and mi momma
We have di big lumber bed and all di cardboard pillow
Have di two hungry dawg dem under we cellar
Man haffi go a bed, dying fi hunger
From dem deh time deh me coulda turn murderer
Instead of that Beenie Man turn entertainer
Now me eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Man get old, bwoy start nyam him supper
Who me grow up with turn big murderer
Shana, Con, Natty Mark, and Baboo, mi brother
Di whole of dem dead and gone, and I man deh yah
A preaching di roots and preaching di culture
That's why I sing this
Life is good, but death is unkind
Nuff of dem nah go know 'til a man blow dem mind, yeah
All dem a lick up, and a flip up, and a gwaan
Badman, fi dem a man nah create storm
Cool and take life easy
Don't bother get up and fire in 'specially
Running from Bigfoot, running from Trinity
Gwaan like yuh wicked, yuh go dead and bury
Think me a come look pon you inna nuh cemetery
All ghetto youth, unuh better think wisely
Put down di Glock and put down di Uzi
Go down pon yuh knee and praise di Almighty
Catch dem a style yah from article Beenie
I sing again
Life is good, but death is unkind
Nuff of dem nah go know 'til a man blow dem mind, Pablo
All dem a kick up, and a roll up, and a gwaan
Badman, fi dem a man nah create storm, yeah
Life is good, but death is unkind
Nuff of dem nah go know 'til a man blow dem mind, yeah
All dem a lick up, and a flip up, and a gwaan
From top I tell dem, stop create storm
Watch yah
Unuh see di gun business, unuh better drop it
Put down di Glock 17 and di matic
When unuh see police, unuh deh run like a rabbit
Bet unuh stand up one day and defend it
Glock 'pon yuh hip, I a dare you fi touch it
So if unuh end up inna one night bout, casket
Under di ground weh di man dem a go dash it
Informer give information, dem no miss
Which hospital yuh born and which one a di district
And weh yuh name, and yuh age, dem tell police it
Yuh trafficking yuh drugs and yuh swear say yuh slick
'Til all of a sudden police make a hit
And all yuh momma and yuh papa gone a prison through it
Yuh gwan like yuh fit, police get yuh unfit
I sing this
Life is good, but death is unkind
Nuff of dem nah go know 'til a man blow dem mind, Paul
