[Intro:]
Jamaica we need a way
Tell mi Mill
A how mi youth fi survive
How mi fi send him go school in this time
If mi don't mek money
Di politician come pon tv
A show we this big pretty smile
Notin nuh funny (nuh funny, nuh funny)
[Chorus:]
Look pon di life we living
Look pon di life we living
Look pon di life we living
