Life teach me that people is people
And people doh like people
So wicked and Evil
Ahyae
If yuh lucky yuh find ah real one
Ride or die you can depend pon
Going strong from nineteen oh long
Push it up fi di real ones

Da one here for mi friend them
The one them wey loyal
Way-ayy up fi mi breddrin
The one dem wey loyal
Sky-ayy up fi mi sistren
The one dem wey loyal
Everybody need somebody
But one body doh need everybody
So
Keep mi friend them close to mi
And mi enemies far away
Cuz them pretend to be your friend
Until you get better than them
Suh Mi nuh give them friend title
Them wah ride yuh like ah bicycle
When the fire get hot
And the tyre get flat
Behind yuh back
Yap them ah yap

Stick ah pin mek mi say this quickly
If yuh come with the drama then miss me
Some ah move like gears them shifty
Yuh motives unclear it’s misty
See them ah record yuh speech like siri
Then ah mix it up twisty twisty
But mi see them all suh clearly
Cuz mi vision twenty twenty
Mama say
Friends guh carry yuh no bring yuh back
So when yuh get ah good one cherish that
Cuz ah act some ah act
But
To all mi day one dem
Soldiers wey ah fight to di end
Mi realll friends
Mi salute them

Da one here fi mi friend dem
The one them wey loyal
Way-ayy up fi mi breddrin
The one dem wey loyal
Sky high up fi mi sistren
The one dem wey loyal
Everybody need somebody
But one body doh need everybody
So
Keep mi friend them close to mi
And mi enemies far away
Cuz them pretend to be your friend
Until you get better than them
Suh
Mi nuh give them friend title
Them wah ride yuh like ah bicycle
When the fire get hot
And the tyre get flat
Behind yuh back
Yap them ah yap

Let me tell you bout the perfect friend
His name is Jesus
Him leff ah heaven and come down ah earth
Just to free us
So to yaweh mi give my praise
Every hand raise, every hand raise
So yaweh mi give my praise oh ah
Greater love had no man than this

Mama say
Friends guh carry yuh no bring yuh back
So when yuh get ah good oneee cherish that
Cuz ah act some ah act
But
To all mi day one dem
Soldiers wey ah fight to di end
Mi real friends
Mi salute them

The one them wey loyal
Way-ayy up fi mi breddrin
The one dem wey loyal
Sky-ayy up fi mi sistren
The one dem wey loyal

And mi enemies far away
