Ragga Ragga Ragga 2013

2013

[Intro]
Take everything to Jah in prayer
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, ooh

[Chorus]
Yeah, it ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary, I wanna stay free
It ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary, I wanna stay free

[Verse 1]
Dem a try bring mi down an' dem a ask mi how mi feel inside
Mi born poor suh motherfuckers cyaan kill mi pride
Dem seh a lotta things afta mi gone
'Cah dem fear mi inna physical form
First dem set mi up fi wet mi up, murda mi friend
Now mi inna the court house trial again
An' mi hear di things weh dem spokеn
Waan fi come up afta me when di clouds open
Now sometimes mi member pon the gully when nuttin' naw gwaan
Mi an' mi dogs dem use to hang out like clothes paw stan
Back inna di gully, inna di past time
Man use to buy a slice a bread wid dem last dine
Mi get di gift fi sing some song an' everybody know mi
Di media all up in mi buss an act as if dem grow mi
Di path mi chad it rough an' yes, yo know it ruggy
But right now a God alone cyan judge mi

[Chorus]
Yeah, it ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary, I wanna stay free
It ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary, I wanna stay free
It ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary, I wanna stay free
It ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary

[Verse 2]
Mi have a message fi di haters dem
And another message fi di traitors dem
Gwaan like dem real, but a fakers dem
Gully God shoot fi three like di Lakers dem
Hate by many, love by most
Life is a cycle, life is a coast
Longest livers yes a dem tell di most
Dem cyaan stop mi wid dem demon spouse

[Chorus]
It ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary, I wanna stay free
It ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary, I wanna stay free
It ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary, I wanna stay free
It ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary, I wanna stay free
It ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary, I wanna stay free
It ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary

[Bridge]
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, ooh, ooh
Ghetto yute, please believe me

[Chorus]
It ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary, I wanna stay free
It ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary, I wanna stay free
It ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary, I wanna stay free
It ain't easy, hear mi?
When I see the penitentiary
