Mama never wrong
Mama never wrong
Papa never wrong
Never wrong
Huh!
Listen to the foundation you know
Is like my grandmother have her own language when she talk to me
Me overstand
Sometime she nagging, but one thing she never wrong (never wrong)
Kiba yuh mouth young man
She tell me
Ah nuh everyone you fi nyam from
No follow bad company
Focus me grandson
Of all these lessons she taught me
One thing stands out in the race of life you cyaan lose hope
She said Son
When nuh dead no dash way
Young man
When nuh dead no dash way
She said son
When nuh dead no dash way
That means
Don't give up
Don't loose hope
And everything will work out
Well, my grandfather have him own language more time me never like listen
Mama teach me nuff things but papa do dem much different
No put all yuh money inna earing bank, locosion dem ah wicked
Try hol'up yuh head and have ambition work hard for your things yah man
Out of all of Grandpa's teachings one thing stands out
In the race of life you cyaan loose hope
He said son

Hey when nuh dead no dash way
Young man

Hear me mhm
When nuh dead no dash way
Hey!
From you have life nuh give up the fight and everything will work out
Well in my community which part me live everybody move like family
Whether friend or foe with toe to toe no intruder can harm we.
Yes ear and bling, see and deaf no
Know when the news carry
Six times fall seven you rise
My youth keep on trying
After all these reasons and teachings one thing stands out
In the race of life you cyaan lose hope
Listen son
Hey! When nuh dead no dash way
Huh! Young man (young man)
When nuh dead no dash way
Listen me sister
Hey! When nuh dead no dash way
From you have life nuh give up the fight and everything will work out

Yuh tick for yuh cross the water
Oh Wat wat a go pumpkin belly
High ah dey most tiring tink ah over it
But though bad ah morning
Come good ah evening to everything there is a season
(Nuh dead nuh dead nuh dash way)
