In this state of confusion while you're lost inside your head,
everyone around is telling me reggae music is dead.
Channel the soul inside yourself and feel the music inside of you.
Let it give you wings and take you away.
Live for today because you might not see tomorrow.
Keep your feet out of the water so you don't drown in your sorrow.
They'll try to bring you down, but who are they to say?
How you should shape the person you are set to be?
Slow life down, everything will be alright.
Let the music surround and de-cloud your thoughts,
then you will be in paradise.
Slow life down, and take it day by day.
They will try to bring you down, but they won't succeed.
My state of confusion is sort of confusing.
Most people laugh and think it's amusing.
But this is my music, I gotta stick to it,
chase my dreams until I pursue it.
Get a drink I screw it, promethazine cups.
Came outta Warren so I gotta throw it up.
West side 898 till the day that I die,
no I ain't there but I keep it alive.
I got em on my side, hood on my back,
sure it's where I come from, but I ain't going back.
Cuz all they do is trap, and I ain't about that life.
I'm tired of being here, it makes me feel trifling.
Living in the dirty three-thirty,
where you're a thug and they call you nerdy.
But fuck that, I'm urging to get up out this place
and move to somewhere where they don't know my face.
But fuck these people, yeah, cuz you know they all fake.
One day they a friend and then the next day they ain't.
