When I first picked up the mic   I was three and at my brother's side   Didn't know what I was singing but   The vibe was always right   Didn't think sound would have such a strong impact   On my life   This music it puts I and I in such   A natural high      Nowadays we a work, we a work   We a work to spread Jah word   Nowadays we a work, we a work   We a work to spread Jah word   Cuz In a this ya life you got to strive all the time   Strive to do good works and achieve peace of mind   Spreading the truth in a positive vibe   Educate the youth and tell them no lie      We play the music of Jah   For the harvest time   Come with sweet melodies   To ease your mind   We play the music of Jah   For the harvest time   Come with sweet melodies   To ease your mind      Now I'm 21 still working rhythm   Never cared for education   Never want to be a stock on the shelf   Wanted to be myself   But in a world living in hell   Me say you can't do very well   So I mon keep my mind focused on the prize   That's worth my while      Nowadays we a work, we a work   We a work to spread Jah word   Cuz In a this ya life you got to strive all the time   Strive to do good works and achieve peace of mind   Spreading the truth in a positive vibe   Educate the youth and tell them no lie      Nowadays we a work, we a work   We a work to spread Jah word   Cuz In a this ya life you got to strive all the time   Strive to do good works and achieve peace of mind   Spreading the truth in a positive vibe   Educate the youth and tell them no lie
