„Work” – Uwe Banton feat. Mikey General
(Lyrics: Uwe „Banton” Schäfer/Michael Taylor) – (Music: Matthias Reuleke)
work with what you have
until you get what you want
you gotta work with what you have
until you get what you want
work, work, work
work with what you have
yes, you got to work, work, work
work with what you have
work!
that’s the way the pastor get him gown
that’s the way the king did get his crown
he never get it by sitting down
that’s how Dean Fraser rule the saxophone
he never waste no time
he get himself in line
he got a mission to accomplish
so many things on his mind
remember mama told you if you want good, your nose haffi run – run
so set your goals and your target, you know that better days must come
so work with what you have
until you get what you want
you gotta work with what you have
until you get what you want
work, work, work
work with what you have
yes, you got to work, work, work
work with what you have
a one thing mama tell mi, and mi neva forget
about the great heights that were reached and kept
they were not attained by sudden flight
but men were toiling, toiling through the night
and here I am, doing my job
nah go a road fi go kill and rob
I put my faith in the Most High God
know He’s gonna guide my track
work with what you have
until you get what you want
yes, you gotta work with what you have
until you get what you want
yes, you go to work, work, work
work with what you have
yes, you got to work, work, work
work with what you have
work, work, work
work with what you have
so don’t you grudge your neighbour
or even envy your brother
’cause you can achieve whatever
JAH never sent you here to suffer
work with what you have
until you get what you want
work with what you have
until you get what you want
work, work, work
work with what you have
yes, you got to work, work, work
work with what you have
work, work, work
work with what you have
nothing don’t come easy, no — nothing come easy
nothing don’t come easy — nothing come easy
nothing don’t come easy, no — nothing come easy
nothing don’t come easy — nothing come easy
