[Intro] C Em Am F
C Em Am C F
C Em Am F
C Em Am F
C Em
A word from the wise
Am F
Don't try to make life on your own
C Em Am F
Remember that jah jah by your side
C Em Am
For i was a soul who lost and my life
F
Was in dismay
C Em Am F
For amongst evil forces in which i came
C Em Am F
Guns and ammunition were my chosen way of life
C Em Am F
With God fearin people i choose to strive
C Em Am F
For all of the lives that are take they can never be replaced
C Em Am F
But still jah jah chose to remember my face
[Refrão]
C Em
Though i never lived like he wanted
Am F
I was mindful of what he though me
C Em
So now i beg and plead im on my bended knees
Am F
Cause father u rescue
C Em Am F
And i've got the stars to show i barely made it along life's road
C Em
Cause when my life got dark he was the onlyiest part
Am F
He was the light at the end of the road
[Segunda Parte]
C Em Am F
When i was young boy growin up in august town
C Em Am F
We ate from the same pot we were idlings all around
C Em
From corner to colour and corner
Am F
From rockers to jungle kentyre
C Em Am F
Rising to dreadhieghts and river all around
C Em
And then the footbal ground became my battlefield
Am F
And my life was so surreal
C Em
People were fallin all around
Am F
But jah helped me to stand my ground
C Em Am F
Only Jah, Only Jah Coud've Helped me to stand my ground
[Refrão]
C Em Am F
So now take it from me son
You can change the world today
Cause livin proof
Livin proof that crime doesn't pay
C Em Am F
Though i never lived like
Chorus rotates
