Text:
TJ, can give dem a word of advice, eeh
Don’t badmind and don’t envy weh me seh
Work hard and you we make it
Life is what you make it
Tell it to the elder, tell it to the baby
Jah Jah don’t love nobody weh lazy
Me mama seh, «Nutten inna life no easy so»
Hustle fi your money, me thugs, me lady
Tell it the elder, tell it to the baby
Jah Jah don’t love nobody weh lazy
Me seh me a work fi my own
Thugs ‘pon the side with the shovel
Put on the hustle with your muscle
Me work fi my own
Gyal dem downtown weh a hustle
Weh do the false hair like nothing
Me work fi my own
As one door close one open
‘Memba every nickle mek a buckle
Stay inna school, youth
Doh mek no body tell you nutten
Doh mek no body tell you nutten
Ghetto youth, ya a hear me
Every gangsta fi mek money daily
But me nah mek no fish come stray me
And me nah mek no politician pay me
Likkle from diss a dem same one a frame me
Fi either the prison or dem all come claim me
Me no waan dead, left me youth me waan set it like
Cah me know

Hustle fi your money, me thugs, me lady
Tell it to the elder, tell it to the baby
Jah Jah don’t love nobody weh lazy
Me mama seh, «Nutten inna life no easy so»
Hustle fi your money, me thugs, me lady
Tell it the elder, tell it to the baby
Jah Jah don’t love nobody weh lazy
TJ
Every ghetto youths fi have a Benz
With the leather interior no plastic seat
Cash last week and cash this week
Money fi a flow like Catherine’s peak
Every part a the Bible the doctrine speak
The part weh tell me, ‘Blessed is the meek
Fi inherit the earth’, a no hypeness dweet
A the humblest man have the nicest Jeep
Me learn fi keep me cool
When me waan catch wise, me play the fool
It no matter which party a run things
A nanny and Michael Manley rule
So juvenile weh you a gwaan so fah
Calm dung youth likkle self and gwaan a school
‘The world no level’, so says the mule
Me no born with nutten me use the tool
Weh Jah Jah give me, cah
Life is what you make it
Hustle fi your money, me thugs, me lady
Tell it to the elder, tell it to the baby
Jah Jah don’t love nobody weh lazy
Me mama seh, «Nutten inna life no easy so»
Hustle fi your money, me thugs, me lady
Tell it the elder, tell it to the baby
Jah Jah don’t love nobody weh lazy
Life is what you make it
Hustle fi your money, me thugs, me lady
Tell it to the elder, tell it to the baby
Jah Jah don’t love nobody weh lazy
Me mama seh, «Nutten inna life no easy so»
Hustle fi your money, me thugs, me lady
Tell it the elder, tell it to the baby
Jah Jah don’t love nobody weh lazy
