[Intro]
Yo, BigZim
Patriotz (It's just a matter of time cah di affection surely fade away)
I've been through it slowly, yeah, yeah
And through it all (Through it all)
(It's just a matter of time cah di affection surely fade away)

[Verse 1]
Mi show love to who never deserve it
Give mi trust to people weh nuh earn it
Strike hard, di hard way mi learn it
'Cause all di ones so close a try hurt mi
These days mi feel paranoid
Mi nuh know who fi trust, a just a bagga lies
Dem frightened fi paradise
And they will do anything fi di dollar signs, yeah

[Chorus]
What's love if a money dem deh-dеh for?
What's friend if mi cyaan even trust, еnuh? Yeah
It's just a matter of time cah di affection surely fade away
What's real if all they do a pretend?
What's trust if a only when mi spend? Yeah
It's just a matter of time cah di affection surely fade away

[Verse 2]
Faces, mi cyaan trust faces
I know every time mi heart a seh di same tings
Tell dem seh di races
Not for di street, for who can make it through the phases
If it nuh real, cyaan last
Some reach a stage weh dem cyaan pass
Life test dem
And yeah, di worst can come from yuh best friend, yeah
[Chorus]
What's love if a money dem deh-deh for?
What's friend if mi cyaan even trust, enuh? Yeah
It's just a matter of time cah di affection surely fade away
What's real if all they do a pretend? (Pretend)
What's trust if a only when mi spend? Yeah
It's just a matter of time cah di affection surely fade away

[Bridge]
I'm still hurting (Still hurting)
I'm still hurting, yeah (Still hurting)
Mi father, wi give thanks for all the love learned
No, I'm still hurting (Still hurting)
Still hurting, yeah (Still hurting)
Father, uh (It's just a matter of time cah di affection surely fade away)
Sometimes some things I got mi feel wake up, yuh see mi?

[Chorus]
What's love if a money dem deh-deh for?
What's friend if mi cyaan even trust, enuh? Yeah
It's just a matter of time cah di affection surely fade away
What's real if all they do a pretend?
What's trust if a only when mi spend? Yeah
It's just a matter of time cah di affection surely fade away
[Outro]
