From zinc fence to broad house wid one room and box truck and pear gig
Give thanks to di life weh we live

Cah man a come from di days wen money nah run
So you know man affi woll eh dung
And do bettah fi mi likkle ones
And trod it as a soldier
Wen mi touch in a dah road yah
Dem want si mi fall no not a tall

Cah man a come from ruff days
As a juvenile mi use to have hard ears
Mi use to do tings di hard way
A so mi know seh work hard pay

Behind wi back wen wi neva pay attention
You bettah know di fraction
And trod it as a soldier
Wen mi touch in a dah road yah
Dem want si mi fall no not a tall
