You never ... you never know
You muma never teach you back a yard
So when YOU left and come abroad, now
You start to holler, say it hard
You even call on Jah Lord's name
Cause you a look little fame. / But you lost at your own game
Things doesn't seem the same. / You've got no one to blame
And I know that did have fe go now
And although I know the vibes still have to flow
Find yourself in another land
Caught up in a different situation
Man you've got to work a plan. / To survive in this ya society
Most people living inna poverty
Open your eyes and surely you will see
What to be just got to be. / You got to stand and face reality
You never know ... you never know
Don't be like a sitting duck. / Waiting your time to get pluck
Make your move and try to improve
Hold your head up and trod as a man
Don't get stuck in the muck. / Try your luck
Make a lot of bucks
Make your move and try to improve
You left from you yard. And you reach up abroad
You never know what a gwan back a yard
The system have you moving so slow
Sometimes you want to let go
Having it so hard ... since you left from your yard
