Life We Living
[Intro:]
Jamaica we need a way
Tell me Mill
How can my youth survive
How can I send him to school in this time
If I don't make money
The politician comes on TV
Showing us this big pretty smile
Nothing is funny (not funny, not funny)
[Chorus:]
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
We're seeking a better way
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
Nothing is funny (not funny, not funny)
[Verse 1:]
I have to hide from the landlord
Because I owe about four months' rent
The weekend is coming and I don't have a penny
I cry when I hear my son say
Daddy, can you please buy me Nike Air
And the little money I have is already spent
The last grand I had, I paid the electricity bill but the water
The commission cut off my water again
Hmm...
[Hook:]
The ghetto needs a better way
And a better life (for our children)
Society,
Please don't condemn the ghetto to hell
Just...
[Chorus:]
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
We're seeking a better way
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
Nothing is funny (not funny, not funny)
[Verse 2:]
Big woman thing
Nothing is happening
Ghetto youth have to sit on the corner
Some of us are hustling
Some are begging for spare change
Society, please make these better days
I go to buy a lot of weed but the cigarette prices rise
We're all crying, they're giving us tough days
Then if the times are so hard right now
Since I was born in the countryside and I wasn't even ten years old
Hmm...
[Hook:]
The ghetto needs a better way
And a better life (for our children)
Society
Please don't condemn the ghetto to hell
Just...
[Chorus:]
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
We're seeking a better way
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
Nothing is funny (not funny, not funny)
[Bridge:]
Tell me Mill
How can my youth survive
How can I send him to school in this time
If I don't make money
The politician comes on TV
Showing us this big pretty smile
Nothing is funny (not funny, not funny)
[Chorus:]
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
We're seeking a better way
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
Nothing is funny (not funny, not funny)
[Outro:]
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
We're seeking a better way
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
Look at the life we're living
Nothing is funny (not funny, not funny, not funny, not funny)
