Hopeless (feat. Gage)

Tun it on
Legend
Yah hear mi
A nuh nuh joke a nuh joke
Tell you seh life a nuh joke a nuh joke a nuh joke
Tell you seh life a nuh joke
Yow

Roll out di red carpet
Fi di one dem weh struggle and a fight it
Is like a water man a carry in a basket
Dem gi wi lemon and wi flip it in a chocolate
Mi seh a nuff nuh know di pain below di surface
Cah wen mi stress out mi demons dem surface
Dats why mi smile wen times a di darkest
Mi stay focus althou times seems hopeless

Yow gage
Dont mek ur lef know wah gawn wid ur right
Wen you out yah so jus a do it like nike
Even ur owna fren nuh want si you tek flight
But heights of greatness affi reach hieghts
No dem nuh know how much sleepless nites
How hard wi a work and how much wi get fight
No
Dem tink seh wi mek it ovanite
A hard work and nuff sacrifice

Roll out di red carpet
Fi di one dem weh struggle and a fight it
Is like a water man a carry in a basket
Dem gi wi lemon and wi flip it in a chocolate
Mi seh a nuff nuh know di pain below di surface
Cah wen mi stress out mi demons dem surface
Dats why mi smile wen times a di darkest
Mi stay focus althou times seems hopeless

Poor life a test mi faith di garrison a test mi strength
Life a nuh kriss car it full a scape it full a dent
Dem seh hard work pay di donkey nah get a cent
And di youths dem hungry so di streets dem ago vent
Dem nuh si how much time you fail before you win
Dem hear seh you sail now and dien fi hear you sink
Bruk life out a di picture a jus riches in di film
And so anytime mi step a southside man a di king

Roll out di red carpet
Fi di one dem weh struggle and a fight it
Is like a water man a carry in a basket
Dem gi wi lemon and wi flip it in a chocolate
Mi seh a nuff nuh know di pain below di surface
Cah wen mi stress out mi demons dem surface
Dats why mi smile wen times a di darkest
Mi stay focus althou times seems hopeless

Yow dwags
More time mi dont know how mi maintain
Cah life it nuh sweet cause a nuh sugar cane
Mi affi grab di controller and play di game
And wen di pressure bus pipe mi put a spliff to di brain
You affi know how mi feel fi understand mi pain
Open up ur third eye fi understand mi brain
Becah my life nuh sweet but mi nah complain
Cah from mi have life you know mi life a change
Struggle in di street dats why wen time wi win it sweet
Mi si pressure bus pipe and people drown in a dem sleep
Mi si some turn to rope and others turn to weed
So wen you si wi pon di ends wi jus a try fi mek it neat
Life nuh comfatable like nuh bed wi na have nuh sheet
And still wi motivate di youths weh sleep pon rubbish heap
Di life weh wi live yah so solid lika concrete
Nuh always get weh wi pray fah but give thanks fi it

Roll out di red carpet
Fi di one dem weh struggle and a fight it
Is like a water man a carry in a basket
Dem gi wi lemon and wi flip it in a chocolate
Mi seh a nuff nuh know di pain below di surface
Cah wen mi stress out mi demons dem surface
Dats why mi smile wen times a di darkest
Mi stay focus althou times seems hopeless
