Ah kno nothing fi hurt
Dont fight d feeling
Tear droppsss since u been gone
We missin you
Tear dropsss
Rip fi yuh gangsta wa gone so soon
If ya miss ya madaa
If ya miss ya fada
If ya miss ya sista
If ya miss ya brother
You fi show that!!
Every night before me go to sleep
I pray d lord me soul fi keep
If I shud die before I wake
Me pray d lord me soul fi take
Me memba everything
Box truck wheel and wire
When we use to race with the big leyland tire
When we teef d herbs outta d dread house
Dat ah d first time we ever go set weed on fire
Me never know ya life wuda expire
As ah younger yute fi u u was me biggest inspire
Me shed ah tears pon ya grave me no hire
Every night me gon me bed u fi still inna me prayer
Me know say yuh no inna no hell fire

Haffi have me bible me no left that no time
Me know jah watch me but me still bring d nine
D big man cannot watch we all d time
Den jah love ah night me feel it inna me joint
It ah keep off evil those obea man and hollow point
Me pray fi me friend dem wey pass on
Me na go bow me close me eyes and den me claspe hand
Den me make god fi make dem rest in peace
Dat ahffi me friend dem nearly parted and decease
Cau me no seen heaven but me kno me see d beast
Alive and in d streets turning children into freaks
But me put me trust inna d king from d east
Me talk to him fi hours even days or even weeks
Me still alive nuff ah me friends dem no survive
Me remember them for life thou sometime me cry
