Ikaya Hard Way Lyrics
It lock..yes It lock..yeah yeah
Sixteen and him love di sixteen
Him neva read but him load magazine
Him father tell him low the rich quick team
Till him end up wid the man dem lock the housing scheme
Say him wah fi floss big and dress clean
Tek how much life and never know death a creep eeenn
And now the table and the chair turn pon him
Its a juvenile me hear turn it pon him
He learned the hard way, hard way
Didn't listen what his mama say
He learned the hard way
And death was the price he pay
The hard way, hard way
Didn't listen what his mama say
Yes he learned the hard way
And death was the price he pay
Seventeen and she just come out a school
She never listen when hear mama set the rules
Every morning when miss ling gone pon the job
Benji come in and ride har like a yellow taxi cab
She catch a belly and har mom say she cannot stay
She contemplating say fi dash the child away
But when she check the doc she find out she been traveling around with a big letter A
hard way hard way
Didn't listen what her mama say
Yes she learned the hard way
And death was the price she pay
The hard way, hard way
Didn't listen what her mama say
Yes she learned the hard way
And death was the price she pay
So many words have spoken
So many lives have lost
The way you see your future depends on your pass
So many mothers crying
There's no one to feel their pain
the hard way, hard way
Didn't listen what his mama say
He learned the hard way
And death was the price you pay
The hard way, hard way
Didn't listen what his mama say
Yes he learned the hard way
And death was the price he pay
