[Intro]
One, two
A Shenseea
Through dem a drive inna Benz and Porsche, Bentley and Hardy
And a wear name brand
Some a dem a act and gwaan
Say dem no help no one
But

[Verse 1]
If you feel have time through you full a Rolex
Buy a bag a battery next, 'cause your time soon done
Throw him off with your income
But nah plan fi the outcome is worst than none
Your selfishness mek you heartless
If you got the green so you think you a the smartest
You can afford fi pay your light bill
But your soul inna darkness

[Chorus]
It could have been you
Don't celebrate when you see s'maddy fall and you get away
It probably would have been you
Drop down 'pon the road if you did deh so
Tell your friend weh did a beg you fi stay
Some a unno laugh after man condition
And a say that cyaan reach through you inna better hands
So nothing cyaan hit you
Just becah you live fi see another day...
Ooh, it could have been you
[Verse 2]
You prefer rave and waste all of your paper
When likkle babies inna incubator
The type a money you spend inna one night
It could a, used fi save at least one or two lives, and
Me nah tell you wha' fi do with your money
But you sidung a judge another 'cause him nah have any
A poor man you no sorry fi no man
No matter if him life get taken away

[Chorus]
But it could have been you
Don't celebrate when you see s'maddy fall and you get away
It probably would have been you
Drop down 'pon the road if you did deh so
Tell your friend weh did a beg you fi stay
Some a unno laugh after man condition
And a say that cyaan reach through you inna better hands
So nothing cyaan hit you
Just becah you live fi see another day...
Ooh, it could have been you

[Verse 3]
The Bible say fi love one anedda
So come mek we all come together
We are one all as we stand
In sunny days or inna rainy weather
We bleed the same blood, so why you waan judge
A man weh work also a man
You full a sin, so dark within, what kind a grin
Through life and a swear say you win
Ooh, ooh...
[Chorus]
Don't celebrate when you see s'maddy fall and you get away
It probably would have been you
Drop down 'pon the road if you did deh so
Tell your friend weh did a beg you fi stay
Some a unno laugh after man condition
And a say that cyaan reach through you inna better hands
So nothing cyaan hit you
Just becah you live fi see another day...
Ooh, it could have been you
