Laid Back - Raphael

Rit.

Laid back, my eyes a tired and me see just black

still a run but me deh pon no track

no serenity, it a serious lack,

whip stil a crack

haffe laid back, my eyes a tired and me see just black

still a run but me deh pon no track

no equality, it a serious lack,

mind still a shock

Yo, me haffe overstand if me right or wrong

here me go again, put me life ‘pon a song

if me paying me dues, well it’s getting too long

me haffe knock it out before the sound of the gong

so hear me raggamuffin with a likkle taste of blues

feel like make yuh jump, put on yuh dancing shoes

a so we go forget all the pain and abuse

society keep smashing we with no excuse

Laid back, my eyes a tired and me see just black

still a run but me deh pon no track

no serenity, it a serious lack,

whip stil a crack

haffe laid back, my eyes a tired and me see just black

still a run but me deh pon no track

no equality, it a serious lack,

mind still a shock

You coulda have nuff talent and nuff ability

but hardly you’ll go forward without that fucking money

so everything a fake, artificial plastic

sometimes me feel like rubbish fe go thrown inna basket

am i focus or mad, am i right or wrong,

gonna feed me doubts with a brand new song

spittin bare fyah from me mouth and tongue

sufferation weh me get from so long
