Accueil -> Reggae Lyrics -> Buju Banton - Life Is A Journey
What is life?
What does dis life mean to you?
Check it from a rasta man point-a-view
And you see dat life is sweet
And what you make it
To some it is a burden
To I man it's a journey
Or a trod if you're not careful
You gain di world and loose you soul you have
There is knowledge
Let those in di world part take thereof
You never know what you got
Til you loose what you got
It's not a burden
Tell dem it's a journey
Or a trod if you're not careful
You gain dis world and loose that soul you have
There is knowledge
Let those in di world part take thereof
You never know what you got
Til you loose what you got
I feel as if there is no chance for me
No balance, no gravity
How can I save myself from this calamity
Open my eyes around me, pure friendenemy
People of different motives and quality
Pulling for power while I pull for sanity
To conquer fears and calm all anxiety
I see my people suffer
Everyday all around me
Many fall victims, where they are they are loney
I sing this one for my homies
Di ones dem weh know me
Who grow me, who show me Buju Banton surely
Learn my mathematics from di skillful Tony
Who hussle wid bones
Street smart, him show me
English grammar I owe to Miss Romie
Selassie I call me, me declare di glory
There is hope for everyman surely
There is hope for everyman surely
It's not a burden
Go and tell the world
It is a trod if you're not careful
You gain dis world and loose the soul you have
There is knowledge
Let those in di world part take thereof
You never know what you got
Til you loose what you got
It's not a burden
Oh my friend it is a journey
If you're not careful
You gain dis world and loose the soul you have
There is knowledge
Let those in di world part take thereof
You never know what you got
Til you loose what you got
As sure as di sun shines
I am keeping what's mine
The time, the signs, children having babies
Demoralizing the ladies
The rise of the pagan churches
Shares and psychic white and black magic
All diguise in clever logics
Shall be tragic upon false profit
Who rise and lie and Modda Terrisa cry
As peace maker die and Clinton testify
Who resovours run dry
The ozone layer die
And we don't know why, oooh
Life is not a burden
Tell dem it's a journey
Or a trod if you're not careful
You gain dis world and loose the soul you have
There is knowledge
Let those in di world part take thereof
You never know what you got
Til you loose what you got
It's not a burden
No, no, no
It is a trod if you're not careful
You gain dis world and loose the soul you have
There is knowledge
Let those in di world part take thereof
You never know what you got
Til you loose what you got
Wars cannot help us to better ourselves
Inside everyman there is hidden wealth
Everyman wants to be comfortable
No man wants to be disable
Some too greedy, some too craven
And all dem get dat still no sufficient
Some love war and dat no mek sense
Envy bring hatred and crime and violence
Listen Buju Banton a open up you sense
A hope you really don't tek offence
It's not a burden
I know it's a journey
Or a trod if you're not careful
You gain dis world and loose the soul you have
There is knowledge
Let those in di world part take thereof
You never know what you got
Til you loose what you got
It's not a burden
No, no, no
It is a trod if you're not careful
You gain dis world and loose the soul you have
There is knowledge
Let those in di world part take thereof
You never know what you got
Til you loose what you got
I feel as if there is no chance for me
No balance, no gravity
How can I save myself from this calamity
Open my eyes around me, pure friendenemy
People of different motives and quality
Pulling for power while I pull for sanity
To conquer myself and calm all anxiety
Every minute, every hour
I ask the Father over me
Ask Buju Banton fe guide dem surely
Listen to the music and ask him the glory
Selassie I call me, me tell dem the story
And listen Buju Banton pon the riddim surely
Hey, hey, hey
Hear me say my bredren...
