Whoa, oh, whoo

[Chorus]
So
I don't wanna be at the wayside
For the hypocrites come cry at my graveside
I don't wanna be, don't wanna be a memory
Please Jah, protect me from my enemies, so
I don't wanna be at the wayside
You no see dem waan come cry at your graveside
I don't wanna be, don't wanna be a memory
Please Jah, protect me from my enemies
[Verse 1]
Dem say the brave don't live forever
But the cautious don't live at all
Be careful of the ones, who waan fi see you fall
Me still stand up 'pon me foot dem
All know me haffi know where fi put dem, yeah
The man stand in the sky, dem waan fi see me die
But me overlook dem, yeah
Me dem wan fi blow like paper
Me no know what me do dutty nigga
A true me dress clean every day
Dem a watch me make cream every day, yeah
As the star in the sky, dem cyaan see me die

[Chorus]
So
I don't wanna be at the wayside
For the hypocrites come cry at my graveside
I don't wanna be, don't wanna be a memory
Please Jah, protect me from my enemies, so
I don't wanna be at the wayside
You no see dem waan come cry at your graveside
I don't wanna be, don't wanna be a memory
Please Jah, protect me from my enemies
[Verse 2]
Me eyeball a the sharpest weapon, look

Work so hard, give me what's mine
Dem cyaan stop me star from shine
[Chorus]
So

For the hypocrites come cry at my graveside

Please Jah, protect me from my enemies, so
I don't wanna be at the wayside
You no see dem waan come cry at your graveside
I don't wanna be, don't wanna be, don't wanna be
(Please Jah, protect me from my enemies)
