Jah Give Life (naphtali) - Gappy Ranks

Dah one yah a nuttin fi dem play wid

A Gappy Ranks, give thanks, a pelpa, poor people helper

No man no higher than di highest mountain

No man no deeper than di deepest lake

No man than purer than di purest fountain

& dem know nuh when it’s dem final day

So just happy & live life

Jah Jah give life

So just happy & live life

Jah Jah give life

Hear mi now

Mi should a listen to di wise elder

When him tell mi no play wid fire

When dem speak i use to talk over

Tempted by some high rollers

I never know gold & silver would have fade away

I never know paper money will have come & go

But now a thousand blessings pon mi name

& mi a tek thousands of flights pon di plane

& now mi know

No man no higher than di highest mountain

No man no deeper than di deepest lake

No man than purer than di purest fountain

& dem know nuh when it’s dem final day

So just happy & live life

Jah Jah give life

Through all over your days & nights

So just happy & live life

Jah Jah give life

I want dem to know what’s right

So just happy & live life

Jah Jah give life

Through all over your days & nights

So just happy & live life

Jah Jah give life

I want dem to know what’s right

Nah get no work but di bills keep coming

Smile pon mi face & mi nah have nothing

Heart clean like the white shirt, tall sleeve wid button

Nah get no opportunity, there’s no door knocking

Tomorrow morning di sun a go rise

Roll up a big spliff fi clear out di noise

& now a thousand blessings pon mi name

& mi a tek thousands of flights pon di plane

& now mi know

No man no higher than di highest mountain

No man no deeper than di deepest lake

No man than purer than di purest fountain

& dem know nuh when it’s dem final day

So just happy & live life

Jah Jah give life

Through all over your days & nights

So just happy & live life

Jah Jah give life

I want dem to know what’s right

So just happy & live life

Jah Jah give life

Through all over your days & nights

So just happy & live life

Jah Jah give life

I want dem to know what’s right

& now i hope you listen to your wise elder

When dem tell you no play wid fire

When dem speak no budda talk over

Learn from the lyrics weh me speak my dada

I never know gold & silver would have fade away

I never know paper money will have come & go

But now a thousand blessings pon mi name

& mi a tek thousands of flights pon di plane

& now mi know

No man no higher than di highest mountain

No man no deeper than di deepest lake

No man than purer than di purest fountain

& dem know nuh when it’s dem final day

So just happy & live life

Jah Jah give life

Through all over your days & nights

So just happy & live life

Jah Jah give life
