[Intro]
Now remember, education comes first
Sizzla Kalonji read the good book
People a suffer tek a good look
Better pray before you put a next foot
Earthquake shuck

[Chorus]
This is life
This is real
Sufferation people feel

This is life
This is real
Sufferation people feel

[Verse 1]
Hungry go fi kill wi cyaa get no food
No money naw run, pickney cyaa go school
Weh mi a go tell dem after dem nuh fool
Babylon a hold wi down like a foot stool
Educated but there's no jobs around
Same thing a country, same thing a town
Babylon a try tek the people fi clown
Keep wi under the water like dem want wi fi drown
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Cyaa go no where because a gunshot a fire
Mama naw work a just wa day shi retire
Even a bow to the boss, yo cyaa get higher
Ambitious to be someone great is your desire
Ungrateful meck it hard a the truth
Some people would a help you but a yo attitude mi youth
Some people go all out fi you get a fruit
You bite the hands weh feed you
You cyaa kill the root

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Now you hype up
You get hot pon dem
As you meck the money suh you turn yo back pon dem
When you deh suffer in a the ghetto you have allot of friends
Now you turn superstar you start lock from dem
