Verse 1
I never had it easy, for the brands
and the bling
And the expensive thing, oh no
I never had the money, never had
nice living
And Mama say, “Oh, you could have it
all”
“Just work hard for yours”
I say “Mama, you know, I'll work hard
for sure”
Pre CHORUS
Now Jah Jah bless me with the
opportunity
To fly country to country
Now I can drink champagne when I
thirsty
Now I could see all the ting I
never see
They say the San Juan youth man so
lucky
But I thank the Father and meh family
Now no bad-mind boy they could stop
me
And every show I smiling, 'cause
trust me
Life is so lovely, woi (wo yoi)

Forever thankful for doubters in the

And the people who laugh, oh na
