Hard Tackle - Alkaline

Life’s so crazy

Life’s so fucking crazy

Man, they used to think I’d never grow up

(Grow up)

Life’s so crazy

Life’s so fucking crazy

Man, I did that and more and now I’m up

That’s why me say

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Life everyday is a hard battle

But mama can’t feed pon salt mackerel

Me a free myself from all shackles

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Don’t ease up, no make nobody stop you

Right now we young and we unstoppa-

Unstoppable, that means dem can’t stop you

Ghetto youth, you haffi deh pon your guard

Worse when you make it inna the upper echelon as an underdog

Dem see your car and a wonder hard

See life a change fi you and a say you fi deh inna the morgue

The system weh we grow up inna a fraud

Dem shoot the bloodclaat man fi nothing, him just inna him yard

And dem a wonder why the crime so mad

Dem make anybody sin, all make the Devil waan fi do a record

I’m not the same old me

Me know it a kill dem fi see mi chains pon me

Me been through a lot, see nuff people change pon me

Do a lot for dem, but dem no do the same for me

That’s why me a say

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Quick fi buss your face with a glass bottle

Mama can’t feed pon salt mackerel

Me a free myself from all shackles

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Don’t ease up, no make nobody stop you

Right now we young and we unstoppa-

Unstoppable

Hey, tell dem say fi lock chat, say fi lock chat, say fi lock chat

So much time me make dem nyam dem words and haffi stop chat

Still waan make the Forbes, maybe one day hit the jackpot

Probably star in a movie, me know mi fans dem woulda watch that

It used to fucking burn me when dem talk 'bout me no that hot

Inna mi early stage, likkle before me get the matte black

Now that me a soar the pussy dem waan take back dem chat

True dem see say a the prettiest girls dem a give me slop top

I don’t know

If me nah go hard, then I don’t go

Since dem say dem ago make it dem duty fi make sure I don’t grow

Who dem think dem is?

I don’t know

If me waan go fast, me go fast;

If me waan go slow, then I go slow

I’m not the same old me

Me know it a kill dem fi see mi chains pon me

Me been through a lot, see nuff people change pon me

Do whole heap for dem, but dem no do the same for me

That’s why me a say

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Life everyday is a hard battle

But mama can’t feed pon salt mackerel

Me a free myself from all shackles

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Don’t ease up, no make nobody stop you

Right now we young and we unstoppa-

Unstoppable, that means dem can’t stop you

Me used to wait up every night for mi mother, eventually me fall asleep

She used to work overtime pon overtime fi make sure me get mi things (believe

that)

And now a my time fi take care of her, me ago buy her anything she need

Me done see the game everybody a play, and now me decide me nah go ease up

That’s why me say

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Life everyday is a hard battle

But mama can’t feed pon salt mackerel

Me a free myself from all shackles

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Hard tackle, hard tackle

Don’t ease up, no make nobody stop you

Right now we young and we unstoppa-…
