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! Wwatch this!
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.
'Cause every man haffi pay them dues,
And every man haffi pay them tax,
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.
'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.
'Cause every man haffi pay them dues,
And every man haffi pay them tax,
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.
'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.
'Cause every man haffi pay them dues,
And every man haffi pay them tax,
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.
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.
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.
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.
Every man haffi pay them dues,
And every man haffi pay them tax,
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.
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 ofthe 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,
A make them turn positive.
'Cause every man haffi pay them dues,
And every man haffi pay them tax,
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.
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.
Said every man haffi pay them dues,
And every man haffi pay them tax,
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.
