Success Lyrics

Success lyrics

-P. Barrett-

 

Once more, the guerilla a talk

And you know when me talk me talk from the heart

'Cause a so me a do it from the start

Otherwise I can't, watch this

 

Chorus:

Said every man haffi pay them dues

And every man haffi pay them tax

'Cause that's where success is at

And when you climb on the ladder

And you want reach the top

More time you end up inna stumbling block

A said serious something

A no joke I a crack

This is a chronological fact

Me no only want you dance

Me no only want you rock

Me want you listen what Rebel a chat

Say, a no no if a no no but a the only way out

You haffi work for the food what fi get inna you mouth

Step up up up up up in the right route

Prepare yourself Lord fi deal with the drought

'Cause it come from all angle, come from all 'bout

If a no the east, man a the west

If a no the north or south

But you fi galang galang without doubt

 

Chorus

 

'Cause every successful man will tell you say

A no today them a try, neither yesterday

But a the substance of faith make them getaway

And now a honor and glory fi see where them deh

So no give up the race when you inna the middle

Just remember a God a pilot you

'Cause no man mi know weh no go through struggle

But you must remember, good is over evil

 

Chorus

 

'Cause struggle it no new, long time it a go on

Long, long, long, long, long, long before I born

You haffi go through burry burry thistle and thorn

But after a storm there must be a calm

Today I see and yesterday me saw

Success is always governed by law

So if you want progress without problems

Just look for the laws and try apply them

 

Chorus

 

Nuff want go to heaven yet no want die

Them no want grow feather, yet them want fly

Them no want cut the tree, no want it fi spread

No want bus sweat, but want nyam the most bread

Can't work, can't work, that's why things so red

Unno fi you stop point the finger and do little instead

 

Chorus

 

So hold tight, steadfast, God alone can't bear the cross

Progress no cheap you must pay the cost

You haffi go through ticki ticki before the green grass

Chorus

The height that great men reach and kept

It never just come immediate

A true them work hard, a true them sweat

Jah Jah guide them through the valley of

the shadow of death

Is not a quiz you know what it is

Rebel just a talk figurative

Is just the life, weh we a live

We haffi turn 'roun the negs make them turn positive

 

Chorus

 

Say, a no no if a no no but a the only way out

You hatfi work for the food what fi get inna you mouth

Step up up up up up in the right route

Prepare yourself Lord fi deal with the drought

'Cause it come from all angle, come from all 'bout

If a no the east, man a the west

If a no the north or south

But you fi galang galang without doubt

 

Chorus
