Life is for man to live (Let man live life! Ba, ba, ba-ba, ba-ah!);

Bread is for man to eat (Let man eat bread! Ba, ba, ba-ba, ba-ah!).

Bread and pyaka:

Cut down pyaka-yism!

Bread and pyaka:

Cut down pyaka-yism!



Everyt'ing ya run dung 'pon;

Everyt'ing ya run dung 'pon;

Everyt'ing ya run dung 'pon;

Everyt'ing ya run dung 'pon.

Come, we go reason now;

Come-a, come-a come-a, we go reason now (we deh go reason now);

Come-a, come-a come-a, we go reason now (we deh go reason now).



Where do you stand for happiness (wa-la, wa-la!)

When you no say you no want it,

While some o' dem (some o' dem, some o' dem) out deh, eh!



I bus dem shut right now

Fi get it.

Bread and pyaka:

Cut down pyaka-yism!
