Part of Life Lyrics

Jah bless the youths
Huh
Jah guide over me
Si ah fi real
Jah Jah guide over me
Perfectional

Oooh Lord
Times get so hard and steep now
Things a get crucial
Still the youths haffi grow
Oooh
In the streets hard
Babylon a put on the pressure (Pressure, pressure)
Hand to mouth when you get pay
Some drop out, some inna jail

That′s part of life
That's how things go
You don′t always get what you want
And the way you want things to flow
That's part of life
That's how things go
You don′t always get what you want
Youths, keep your head up every time

Me work fi me things, me no want no handout
True to the game, that′s why me stand out
Do me thing different
Hustle fi the bread and make the share
Though sometime it not even sufficient
In this time mi say you can't trust man
Big respect to the taxi man dem and the bus man
The stall vendor, the higgler

Hustle hard inna the boiling sun, dem anuh giggler

Yeah
Obstacles we no stopper
Though sometime the system don′t treat we proper
Policeman search and no find
Set up the youth with a nine, charge him fi the crime

That's part of life
That′s how things go
You don't always get what you want
And the way you want things to flow
That′s part of life
That's how things go
You don't always get what you want
Youths, keep your head up every time

From me born dem a tell me say
Many more have to suffer, many more have to die
And nuff youths hustle hard, mi say
Still dem don′t get a blind

That′s part of life
That's how things go
You don′t always get what you want
And the way you want things to flow
That's part of life
That′s how things go
You don't always get what you want
Youths, keep your head up every time

Oooh Lord
Times get so hard and steep now
Things a get crucial
Still the youths haffi grow
Oooh
In the streets hard
Babylon a put on the pressure (Oh, what a pressure)
Hand to mouth when you get pay
Some drop out, some inna jail (Some inna jail, yeah)

Me work fi me things, me no want no handout
True to the game, that′s why me stand out
Do me thing different
Make mi little food more than me, not even sufficient

That's part of life
That's how things go
You don′t always get what you want
And the way you want things to flow
That′s part of life
That's how things go
You don′t always get what you want
Youths, keep your head up every time
