lyrics

Life is a beautiful thing!
Life is a beautiful thing!

Chorus
How long must we living inna this situation, things them are wrong
This is no bangarang, tell me what more
tell me what we have to do, to get outta this hole
x2

Verse 1
Is it a necessity, my people them a strife
Its calamity, them bwoy haffi (have to) die
Fi the money and the power, me no tell you no lie
Everyday my children, holla hungry and cry
Mother she works, but no money just no there
Tell me is is clear, and no need to conceal
Just for a meal, we haffi bust up a steel
Brainwashed education, all my yutes them a receive
Life in the ghetto could have never easy
Destruction of the poor, it in a poverty
So dash away the wickedness and vanity
We have to overcome this adversity
Music mi sing, music mi sound
El Paso town, deh (there) weh (where) mi a come from
Music mi sing, music mi sound
El Paso town, deh weh mi a come from

Chorus
How long must we living inna this situation, things them are wrong
This is no bangarang, tell me what more
tell me what we have to do, to get outta this hole
x2

Verse 2
One of them two, three of them four
Gal turn a whore, claim say that the bling-bling fi sure
Get them outta the ghetto, mi say daughter please here listen
Jah jah give you the power, jah jah give you the blessing
You and you alone can create a new life
All you need is one righteous man by your side
So go and find him mi daughter gwan find him
Gwan find, never let them confine you
Cause life is a beautiful thing, what a joy it a bring
When we do the right thing, together as one
So go and find him mi daughter gwan find him
Gwan find him mi daughter gwan find him

One of them two, three of them four
Man turn a whore, claim say that the bling-bling fi sure
Get them outta the ghetto, mi say yute you haffi listen
Jah jah give you the power, jah jah give you the blessing
You and you alone can create a new life
All you need is one righteous woman by your side
So go and find her mi yute just gwan find her
Gwan find, never let them confine you
Cause life is a beautiful thing, what a joy it a bring
When we do the right thing, together as one

Chorus
How long must we living inna this situation, things them are wrong
This is no bangarang, tell me what more
tell me what we have to do, to get outta this hole
