Keep On Trying

Well in the game of life let me tell you what the case is

some people got bad hands, some people got aces

some people got diamonds, some people got spades still

the world keeps moving on

you got the kings and queens and jacks of all trades

and the rest make up the numbers trying to get paid

they could be working as a pair or as a group cooperating

and some just doing wrong

you have the joker an' have the club but him just pretending

drinking and living it up

nah no time fi thinking

if the money ever done they'll be be quickly sinking

but they just keep grooving on

no matter who you are

you, you've got to, just got to keep on trying

and keep...

doing your best with the hand that you get

and don't give up that fight

no no no you,

can't stop, you can't, we can't keep on crying

just keep...doing your best

you know life is a test

it's gonna be alright

some people living in a full house with one bag a yutes

making it end to mouth end

you know that's the truth

but the love inna dem heart is a food substitute

and dem mek it all through

how about you

if you born without a gold spoon

there's no time to waste

'cause the road is rocky

and winding make haste

while you bending them corners

my yutes you stay straight

and just hold the faith

you'll make it through the gate

don't get lost inna the crush

if you stumble don't drop

don't you flush all your dreams if your journey get stuff

at the ending of the day is jah face we going touch

and he knows the flop

so you don't give up

no you...

you've got to, just got to keep on trying

and keep...

doing your best with the hand that you get

and don't give up that fight

no no no you,
