No Guarantee - Protoje, Chronixx

I know nuff a them woulda want we gone

(I know them woulda want me gone)

Sit down everyday and a wish we harm

(Too much time pon them hands, you nuh?)

But why would a king ever fear a pawn?

(A king would never hear them)

So what them a go do when they hear this one?

Bang bang

(Yeh)

No take tellings, want me no fi say this

Man will see you farm and gone inna you lettuce

People mean you harm, you can’t tell what a friend is

Grudge you for your paper, scorn you for your pennies

When you nuh see me, me gone fi get replenish

Back up in the morning, can’t forget the message, no

Avocado she feel for it, me send it

Them yam and banana, it sweet to she belly, jeez

A what make life sweet so like a jelly

Climb fi it, it hard, can’t easy so fi get it

Song deh pon the radio, video pon the telly

Love inna me heart, me a spread it, catch the medi

People got expectaions (expectations)

Will they love you?

No guarantee (no guarantee)

People all need salvation (need salvation)

Will they save you?

No guarantee (no guarantee)

Some no like how you live, want fi carry you go court

Some will burn every bridge and still a look fi support

Jealousy is a cloud, check the weather report

That’s why me tighten the ship and then me arm up the fort

Now the biggest of foes, once the closest of friends

But you know how it goes, oh the fake will pretend

Some will shake off your hand and break bread in your house

Soon as you turn your back them waa run up on your spouse

Some will say you no ras 'cause you jump in a benz

Like me never see Selassie in a couple of them

Some a watch what you earn and a count what you spend

Always want it fi borrow, never have it fi lend

But you see…

People got expectaions (expectations)

Will they love you?

No guarantee (no guarantee)

People all need salvation (need salvation)

Will they save you?

No guarantee (no guarantee)

(Ayy)

No matter what them a go say, me haffi live me life

No worries pon me head when me a go a bed a night

Mummy, daddy, sister, yara, everybody nice

Cousin, aunty, bredrin, yeah them haffi get a slice

Man them used to pack a thing and put it pon a bike

Send it go a town and them hitch it pon a flight

When it reach a foreign them a go triple the price

Benz inna community and bimma like a…

Rice!

Get 'way with it once and so them haffi do it twice

One deh underground, the other one a jail fi life

A valuable lesson: Nothing happen over night

People got expectaions (expectations)

Will they love you?

No guarantee (no guarantee)

People all need salvation (need salvation)

Will they save you?

No guarantee (no guarantee)

(Will they save you?)

I wonder if them a go save you?

Will they save you?

Will they… they save you?

I wonder if they save you

I wonder if they goin' save you

Save you, whoa, save you now

I wonder if they goin' save you.
