Envy her
When mi buy mi madda house
Mi nuh waan' nobody envy her
Far mi a come from

My sufferation real, mi a nuh story tella
Nuff time mi go days without meal
My madda a nuh bank tella
Rat cyaan do without cheese
Mman cyaan do without cheddar
Dem nuh know yuh when yuh broke, but when yuh up
Hear dem, "yo bredda!"

Long time man a suffer but things take time
Time, time, time, time
Eyes on the money, family deh 'pon mi mind
Mind, mind, mind, mind
It mess up fi see yuh work so hard
And dem nuh waan' see yuh shine, see yuh shine
But mi have mi guards up and mi nuh drop mine
Mine, mine, mine, mine

Rafael we haffi smart inna di road,
Nuff a dem waan' fi stop yuh heart inna di road
Man will smile and man will laugh inna di road
And then dem fulla negative thoughts inna the dome
Nuh mek dem trick mi fi kill me
Pray to the Kings of Kings fi di victory
Believe it or not, Ripley
Life ain't all fun, Disney
Enough mi learn, enough mi learn
If dem a try hold mi back, den I must mi turn
Left the yard mi know mi must return
Jah guide mi, mi have nuff fi earn

Long time man a suffer but things take time
Time, time, time, time
Eyes on the money, family deh 'pon mi mind
Mind, mind, mind, mind
It mess up fi see yuh work so hard
And dem nuh waan' see yuh shine, see yuh shine
But mi have mi guards up and mi nuh drop mine
Mine, mine, mine, mine

When mi buy mi madda house
Mi nuh waan' nobody envy her
Far mi a come from

My sufferation real, mi a nuh story tella
Nuff time mi go days without meal
My madda a nuh bank tella
Rat cyaan do without cheese
Mman cyaan do without cheddar
Dem nuh know yuh when yuh broke, but when yuh up
Hear dem, "yo bredda!"

Long time man a suffer but things take time
Time, time, time, time
Eyes on the money, family deh 'pon mi mind
Mind, mind, mind, mind
It mess up fi see yuh work so hard
And dem nuh waan' see yuh shine, see yuh shine
But mi have mi guards up and mi nuh drop mine
Mine, mine, mine, mine
