[Intro]
To all the soldiers pon di battlefield
Every ghetto yute a major deal
[Chorus: Alborosie & Sandy Smith] [2x]
Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard and play hard
Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard, and play hard
Ohh carry on
[Verse 1]
Only di best is good enough inna dis world made of pest
The finest evah restless, evah fighting for space
Wen mi take di podium dem a sabotage mi race
Inna that case i don't part take inna dem waste
Some people, without di benefits there ain't no friendship
When sh*t hits the fan, I know what the stench is
Some lay on benches, some lay expensive, I focus on my mission
Yes I know weh my strength is, hey
So what about taking a break, from all the animosity, and all this being fake
Pictures with a filter, many like yuh filter face
They only see the surface but dem nah guh si di base
[Chorus: Alborosie & Sandy Smith] [2x]
Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard and play hard
Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard, and play hard
Ohh carry on
[Verse 2]
Well I don't chase nuh popularity
Di popular belief, was pupa nah guh be so…
My message to all the ones who evah doubt me
You shoulda doubt yuhself before you doubt me
But people do bad things so I couldn't be no bad
Dem frown if yuh win and if yuh fail dem glad
Ah god alone ah judge me, suh mek dem be my god
And if dem feel like one then try to stop the road i trod
There is no love inna di universe
People running from the loss, di loss ah worse
People praise di book an neva mind the verse
That's why dem live dem lucky life under curse
[Chorus: Alborosie & Sandy Smith] [2x]
Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard and play hard
Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard, and play hard
Ohh carry on
[Outro]
Mi tell yuh
Only di best is good enough inna dis world made of pest
The finest evah restless, evah fighting for space
Wen mi take di podium dem a sabotage mi race
Inna that case i don't part take inna dem dutty waste
[Chorus: Alborosie & Sandy Smith] [2x]
Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard and play hard
Deh yah inna Babylon
You must work hard, and play hard
Ohh carry on
