[Intro: Popcaan & Vybz Kartel]
Woii yoii
Wicked
Jah Jah God
You know e go

[Verse 1: Vybz Kartel & Popcaan]
Things rough in a the street dawg
Down to the devil say him shouldn't been born
Can't tame, suck your mother with your 'keep calm'
Rough like dull colour a no beach ball (Beach ball)

But any means necessary, we gone
Get the big blanket fi keep me kids warm
Man a dead in a the street, yeah, the street warm
When the street want peace, then the peace gone

But until then (Until then)
Roll out with the long ting deh (Long ting deh)
Lock them off as you reach home
Fеds in a the place, but no take chеck
No staircase, and
Keep couple honours them near Range, and
'Pon the ends man no play game, dawg
Unemployed, but we still want a payday (Payday)
Searching fi the code them fi the game changer

[Chorus: Popcaan]
Ah-ah-ah, nobody don't wan' live poor
Ah-ah-ah, nobody don't wan' live poor
Ah-ah-ah, nobody don't wan' live poor
Ah-ah-ah, nobody don't wan' live poor
When man hungry, them will fall rain
Yeah, the streets a no ball game (Ball game)
Ah-ah-ah, nobody don't wan' live poor (Weh)

[Verse 2: Vybz Kartel & Popcaan]
Them stress yah deh all island
But a stress still make all diamond
Youth them want help politician care less
Police a kill them, them [?] vex (You know e go)

Innocent, innocent life
Turn heartless gunman over night
How the fuck that take place 'pon your watch?
Society nah do we right
But them time it reach at them door
Them time start get gun shot
Bet say them do and stop watch
Bet say them act and stop chat
Bet say them act and stop chat
[Chorus: Popcaan]
Ah-ah-ah, nobody don't wan' live poor
Ah-ah-ah, nobody don't wan' live poor
Ah-ah-ah, nobody don't wan' live poor
Ah-ah-ah, nobody don't wan' live poor
