Progress Lyrics by Mavado Ft DJ Khaled

[Intro]
Dat’s why wi go so and
Mi just link up wid mi dawg Mineral Boss
Yu know Gully Side mineral, progress

[Verse 1]
Wi nuh inna nutten wid you, if you naa show no progress
Man fi go through life without no stress
Be friends wid some people that’s hopeless
Cause dem a nuh nuh progress
Dem talk a bag a things and dem screw
A just so dem tongue tan
A stone you bread come from
A jail bunk dem waan see man head pon
A you nice life dem waan see you dead from
[Chorus]
Nah, dem cyaa trick mi and kill mi
Mi cyaa dead, so
Lord, dem a send a bag a news to yuh woman
Fi yuh woman left yuh
Life is like the weather
You haffi go through the season
A simple straw blind you
People change and you don’t know the reason

[Verse 2]
Duppy bat nuh have no direction
And a dem a try lead you
Mi couldn’t work wid a nigga
From him a work wid him evil
Mama seh good mix wid a lot of evil
The devil inna lot of people
From mi naa feel you energy mi gone
Like the good Bible mi read you

[Chorus]
Nah, dem cyaa trick mi and kill mi
Mi cyaa dead
Lord, dem a send a bad a news to you woman
Fi you woman leff you
Nah, dem cyaa trick mi and kill mi
Mi naa dead so
Ahh, mi hold on pan mi life and mi naa let go

[Verse 3]
Nuh bother drown in your sorrows, ya fi feel like swim
Fi mi paper to pen is a real life thing
Yesterday you down now you feel like king
Yeah the life where ya from wasn’t inviting
Sometimes mi know it stressing
Mi waan every youth rise and count unu blessings
Dem waan si wi feed pon dumpling and mackerel, no
Sea food and lobster pon the hot grill
Wa happen to dem?

[Bridge]
No, no wi naa dead so
Say wi naa dead so
No wi naa dead so
No wa naa let go
Wi naa dead so
Wi naa dead so
Naa dead so

[Outro]
Wi nuh inna nutten wid you, if you naa show no progress
Man fi go through life without no stress
Be friends wid some people that’s hopeless
Cause dem a nuh nuh progress
Now dem a screw, a just so dem tongue tan
