Wha' Mek? - Roots Manuva

This life is full of lots of learning

And when we strive

We’re sure to be concerned with

Both ups and downs

That force us to a better place

Much time we waste

Repeating their mistakes

Hurt to learn

Learn to hurt while

What makes you sigh

And cuts your eye at me

Well I’m trying my hardest

It’s the best that I can be

What makes you sigh

And cuts your eye at me

I’m trying my hardest

It’s the best that I can be

Late when you need me early

Way to straight when you need my curly

Yes no maybe blow

Can’t say when but maybe so

I’ll be your super friend

Understanding its super friendly

Clean and I’ll cut my hair

And I’ll get super trendy

The more I try to please u

You seem to find the need to

Huff and puff those hissy fits

Point and shout those finger clicks

And ah, everything I do

You always seem to redo

So I may as well do

What I normally do

What makes you sigh

And cuts your eye at me

Well I’m trying my hardest

It’s the best that I can be

And if the time shall come

For us to be one

Oh nation

Let’s find ourselves

Some peace of mind

So we can grow the children

So whenever looks so confusin

Don’t know what to do

Walking round bookin (?) school

I’m not the one to force them back

But it seems like they’re on the attack

Most people don’t know what to do

So I say

What makes you sigh

And cuts your eye at me

Well I’m trying my hardest

It’s the best that I can be
