Life has its ups and downs
Got its ins and outs
Life got its ups and downs
Just life that suh
Jah know

Yuh bredren never have it
so him could nuh grease the palm
But celebrate him inna him life
don't wait til him gone
Cause today is sunny
and then tomorrow is storm
Inna the winter
find out if him have a coat to keep him warm
Nuff ah you ah actors

And gwan like say yuh care

Tell yuh brother, seh yuh love him

Tell yuh sister the same thing
because life ah no game thing, yea
Tell yuh mother, seh yuh love her

And tell yuh father the same thing
'cause life ah no game thing, no way
Love you all

No, nuttin' can replace a loved one
Mi nah know nobody else and me nah judge man, no way
So when mi see someone accomplishment
mi encourage him
That seh yuh know seh mi heart clean
that mean, mi nuh grudge man
Mi nah go wait until him pass
and mi face look overcast
Mi ah tell him while we're burnin a spliff
havin a drink, makin music, havin a laugh
Mi ah tell him, mi bredda yuh my real don
one of the real ones
Mi just ah hope, seh dem understand
Say yuh are mi brother fi real

No seh nuh fortunate
but still ah spin the wheel
And even if we don't make it together
mi just wha yuh know yuh always mi bredda
Because yuh life value more than treasure
And ah live it

Tell yuh brother, seh yuh love him
