Samory I - Survive Lyrics

Oh oh ohhhh whooo-whooo, Oh oh ohhhh

Tuff man tuff and grew up inna di ghetto, ya know

Hungry days and hungry nights and dem nah know

Wah dem fi know, wid dem belly full

Make Jah be ya present

Watch poverty life be ya past

Vanity vanish, Jah Jah love everlasting

The system a flaw empowered by law

Nah spend ya loss inna di half reign

Burn hate and grudge, practice love,

Ah said it often inna di offspring

This a fi di youths them about

Just listen to the voice from my mouth

(Chorus)

And use life like a rope and hold on

So man haffi face di faith

Mi haffi survive

And use life like a rope in da storm

So man haffi make it out (Jah made me call)

When Jah made me call

Life inna di ghetto we fighting to get out of it

But you haffi be spiritually fit

It looks like di system designed fi you fall down

We have to make it back up somehow

Watch ya head back as ya climb up on di ladder yeh know

Di same man a top could fi kill ya

You stay humble and a focused on ya journey

We glad and you are gon make it

(Chorus)

Youths use life like a rope and hold on

So man haffi face di faith

We haffi survive

And use life like a rope in da storm

So man have to make it out (Jah made me call)

Pon Jah made me call

Faith is small that fi must exceed shall move my days

So we haffi make it out

We haffi survive

Di so called strongest and fittest and di ruff shall fall at this time

If you no have faith in Jah Rastafari, you can't survive

(Chorus)

Just use life like a rope and hold on

Some man haffi face the fight

We haffi survive

And use life like a rope in da storm

So man haffi make it out (Jah made me call)

We haffi survive, we haffi survive

Truth!

We haffi survive, we haffi survive

Mi haffi survive
