Check It Back

Intro:

Humble in this desolate jungle

Know where yuh comin from, where yuh headin or where yuh goin

Knowin dat di kids are growin

Di future and di blessings of life are growin di vibes flowin

Verse 1:

There is a time in life yuh haffi stop and tink

When yuh used to live inna di boat and sink

Yuh nah nuh food fi eat nah nuh tea fi drink

And yuh one pair a shoes start stink

And although yuh girls siddung on yuh yard

Caan trust nuh man cause dog eat dod

Rememba seh mi tell yuh when yuh fly go abroad

May I beg yuh life pon guard

Chorus:

Because when yuh check it back, a nuff leff Jamdown and nuh mek it back, no

So dem end up takin crack, dem married to di white lady and dem black, whoa

But if yuh bredda reach di top, yuh try keep my strength it nuh need fi flop, no

Cause every fruit seed yuh drop, a badmind a prepare fi reap di crop, whoa

Verse 2:

Well! Each one teach one a so we dweet charm

Nuff poison life yuh fi reach one

Street knowledge when mi bringin now mi street song

Education a di key yuh fi keep strong

Every man have vision and a dream plan

Dem searchin di promise and di green land

Some a look fi a shoulda fi lean pon

Dem nuh have nuh ambition

Chorus:

Because when yuh check it back, a nuff leff Jamdown and nuh mek it back, no

So dem end up takin crack, dem married to di white lady and dem black, whoa

But if yuh bredda reach di top, yuh try keep my strength it nuh need fi flop, no

Cause every fruit seed yuh drop, a badmind a prepare fi reap di crop, whoa

Verse 3:

Some a trod along, to anodda land, dem nuh give a damn, about anodda man

She dem badda than Al Quaida and Taliban

And neva buss a gun, much less a bomb

Some yardman, go tun American, tink dem original, but dem a second hand

Some nuh have nuh he (?) dem nuh have nuh plan

Can run a mile much less a marathon

Chorus:

Cause when yuh check it back, a nuff leff Jamdown and nuh mek it back, no

So dem end up takin crack, dem married to di white lady and dem black, whoa

But if yuh bredda reach di top, yuh try keep my strength it nuh need fi flop, no

Cause every fruit seed yuh drop, a badmind a prepare fi reap di crop, whoa

Repeat Verse 1

Repeat Chorus until end
