Cool In the midst of everything

In The Midst of Everything


In the midst of everything
Dads wi go a road, gone go drink
But mama still a go a church go sing
In the midst of everything
No barrel nah come down from foreign
But a still decent clothes mi wearing
In the midst of everything
Lunch money likkle, worms dem biting
But mi still a pursue mi schooling
In the midst of everything
Caan sidung round mi owna steering
But mi get fi go one and two sporting
In the midst of everything
Girls a say dem a wait pon the ring
But yet still, a giway one night flings
In the midst of everything
Thugz a say dem want a earning
But none no waa do nuh labouring
In the midst of everything
Wi ends a get corrupt by hustling
But few youths a ignore dem teachings
In the midst of everything
Babylon want wi listen them preachings
But we already have wi owna understandings
In the midst of everything
We try hard, no show our true feelings
But reality force us to give in
In the midst of everything
Right now someone out there dying
While a newborn, just come out crying
In the midst of everything
Some are like puppets on a string
While others live their lives with meaning
In the midst of everything
Friends come and go like the seasons
But only true friends are worth remembering
In the midst of everything
The day seems long and hard at the beginning
But wi still manage fi reach the endings
In the midst of everything
Wi go through nuff pain and suffering,
Ridicule, backbiting,
Talks that are discouraging
But wi will always give praises to the King
In the midst of everything.
