Well in the game of life let me tell you what the case is some people got bad hands, some people got aces Some people got diamonds and some people got spades still the world keeps moving on
You got the Kings and Queens and Jacks of all trades Then the rest make up the Numbers trying to get paid They could be working as a pair or as a group co-operating and some just doing wrong
You have the Joker inna the club but them just pretending drinking and living it up - nah no time for thinking if their money ever done they'd be quickly sinking but they just keep grooving on - no matter who you are
You, you got to (just got to) keep on trying And keep doing your best with the hand that you get and dont give up the fight No, no, no, you cant stop, you can't weep, can't keep on crying Just keep doing your best you know life is a test and its going to be alright
Some people living in a full house with one bag of youths making it hand to mouth and you know thats the truth but the love inna dem hearts is a food substitute and they make it on through (Now how about you?) If you born without a gold spoon there's no time to waste Because the road is rocky and winding make haste But while you're bending those corners my youths you stay straight, and just hold the faith You'll make it through the gate
Don't get lost inna the crush, if you stumble don't drop don't you flush all your dreams if the journey gets tough at the ending of the day its Jah face we going touch, and He knows the flop, so you don't give up
I know how you feel because most never get a fair deal. You haffi fight or beg, borrow, steal And its so hard just to get a good meal, yeah I know all you want is a fair chance to get to the top you have to keep on climbing nonstop Hold some, fold some, go on
