[Intro:]

Zig it out tings a do good again

Zig it out man a roots and dem match di stem

Zig it out zing zagga zu zang

Hear di music clique talk again and announce

Ziggy zag, zing zagga zu zu zang

Zig it out, zung zagga zu zu deh

Zig it out, zing zagga zagga hey cool

And I man sing seh dat

[Chorus:]

Have you ever lost your drive

Sick of working 9 til 5

If you have you will understand why I'm frowning

Zagga zagga zeh

Have you been working all day

Does your bills take all your pay

Can you feel me when I say feel like I'm drowning

[Verse 1:]

Well mi tired of stealing

Sick and tired of di pain I'm feeling

Tired of di hate and di war I'm living in

Prophecy revealing

I say guide and protect me Lord

Cah di millions I'm reeling in

Bring a lot a friend but I'm just not feeling him

Claim to be my dawg but I still don't believe in him

Sound too deceiving

And I learn not to trust no man

Cah last sunday evening

Niggas drove by then janice stop breathing

Ain't nothing new it just di bobbing and weaving

Now mama grieving

Lawd know I can take no more

Cah ma woman conceiving

Ain't no place for my kids I'm living in

House with a pool on di hill I'm dreaming in

Ain't got no benjamin

Well that mean I will be sticking around y-y-yeeeeah

[Chorus:]

Have you ever gave your heart

Just to have it torn apart

If you have you would understand why I'm angry

Zagga zagga zah za

And if you gave your loving heart

And had it thrown against di wall

If you did you would understand why I'm not married

[Verse 2:]

Nuh reason why you gotta be that way

If you wasn't down girl you shouldn't have stayed

Girl I shoulda know this is how you play

What I can I say! I guess it woulda end some day

But did you have to be so cold

Did you really have to take my heart and soul

I wish I had a little more self control

Shoulda been bold

Then I woulda play di daggard role

Girl I use to think your love was true

Cried down my shoulder and I bought that too

Caan believe da gal ya mek mi diss my crew

Neva had a clue but mama saw right through you y-y-yeah

[Bridge:]

Have you ever had love and affection

Have you ever ever lost your direction

Have you ever had a need for protection

Have you ever had have you ever had

Love and affection

Have you ever ever lost your direction

Have you ever had a need for protection

Have you ever ever had

[Chorus:]

Have you ever lost your drive

Sick of working 9 til 5

If you have you will understand why I'm frowning

Zagga zagga zagga zah za

Have you been working all day

Does your bills take all your pay

Can you feel me when I say feel like I'm drowning

[Verse 3:]

Well mi tired of stealing

Sick and tired of di pain I'm feeling

Tired of di hate and di war I'm living in

Prophecy revealing

I say guide and protect me Lord

Cah di millions I'm reeling in

Bring a lot a friend but I'm just not feeling him

Claim to be my dawg but I just don't believe in him

Sound too deceiving

And I learn not to trust no man

Cah last sunday evening

Niggas drove by then janice stop breathing

Ain't nothing new it just di bobbing and weaving

Now mama grieving

Lawd know I can take no more

Cah ma woman conceiving

Ain't no place for my kids I'm living in

House with a pool on di hill I'm dreaming in

Ain't got no benjamin

Well that mean I will be sticking around y-y-yeeeeah

[Outro:]

Have you ever gave your heart

Just to have it torn apart

If you have you would understand why I'm angry

Yagga yagga yow yow

And if you gave your love and heart

And had it thrown against di wall

If you did you would understand why I'm not married
