[Intro:]
Zig it out tings a do good again
Zig it out man a roots and dem match di stem
Zig it out zing zagga zu zang
Hear di music clique talk again and announce
Ziggy zag, zing zagga zu zu zang
Zig it out, zung zagga zu zu deh
Zig it out, zing zagga zagga hey cool
And I man sing seh dat
[Chorus:]
Have you ever lost your drive
Sick of working 9 til 5
If you have you will understand why I'm frowning
Zagga zagga zeh
Have you been working all day
Does your bills take all your pay
Can you feel me when I say feel like I'm drowning
[Verse 1:]
Well mi tired of stealing
Sick and tired of di pain I'm feeling
Tired of di hate and di war I'm living in
Prophecy revealing
I say guide and protect me Lord
Cah di millions I'm reeling in
Bring a lot a friend but I'm just not feeling him
Claim to be my dawg but I still don't believe in him
Sound too deceiving
And I learn not to trust no man
Cah last sunday evening
Niggas drove by then janice stop breathing
Ain't nothing new it just di bobbing and weaving
Now mama grieving
Lawd know I can take no more
Cah ma woman conceiving
Ain't no place for my kids I'm living in
House with a pool on di hill I'm dreaming in
Ain't got no benjamin
Well that mean I will be sticking around y-y-yeeeeah
[Chorus:]
Have you ever gave your heart
Just to have it torn apart
If you have you would understand why I'm angry
Zagga zagga zah za
And if you gave your loving heart
And had it thrown against di wall
If you did you would understand why I'm not married
[Verse 2:]
Nuh reason why you gotta be that way
If you wasn't down girl you shouldn't have stayed
Girl I shoulda know this is how you play
What I can I say! I guess it woulda end some day
But did you have to be so cold
Did you really have to take my heart and soul
I wish I had a little more self control
Shoulda been bold
Then I woulda play di daggard role
Girl I use to think your love was true
Cried down my shoulder and I bought that too
Caan believe da gal ya mek mi diss my crew
Neva had a clue but mama saw right through you y-y-yeah
[Bridge:]
Have you ever had love and affection
Have you ever ever lost your direction
Have you ever had a need for protection
Have you ever had have you ever had
Love and affection
Have you ever ever lost your direction
Have you ever had a need for protection
Have you ever ever had
[Chorus:]
Have you ever lost your drive
Sick of working 9 til 5
If you have you will understand why I'm frowning
Zagga zagga zagga zah za
Have you been working all day
Does your bills take all your pay
Can you feel me when I say feel like I'm drowning
[Verse 3:]
Well mi tired of stealing
Sick and tired of di pain I'm feeling
Tired of di hate and di war I'm living in
Prophecy revealing
I say guide and protect me Lord
Cah di millions I'm reeling in
Bring a lot a friend but I'm just not feeling him
Claim to be my dawg but I just don't believe in him
Sound too deceiving
And I learn not to trust no man
Cah last sunday evening
Niggas drove by then janice stop breathing
Ain't nothing new it just di bobbing and weaving
Now mama grieving
Lawd know I can take no more
Cah ma woman conceiving
Ain't no place for my kids I'm living in
House with a pool on di hill I'm dreaming in
Ain't got no benjamin
Well that mean I will be sticking around y-y-yeeeeah
[Outro:]
Have you ever gave your heart
Just to have it torn apart
If you have you would understand why I'm angry
Yagga yagga yow yow
And if you gave your love and heart
And had it thrown against di wall
If you did you would understand why I'm not married
