Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rocky road
Rocky road
[Verse 2]
Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there's no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there's no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
So live your life to the fullest, yo, youth
[Verse 3]
First you learn how fi walk then you learn how fi talk
And everything around you is brand new
Primary school is a blast, time just movin' fast
You're just a toddler, mama watch over you
[Verse 4]
And from the tricycle to bicycle
To soother then to popsicle
Daddy clear all obstacles
You're feelin' so untouchable
You're pure and pure love in-a your heart
[Verse 5]
Heart of a child is the kingdom of Jah
A bare cartoons and lullaby
And Roger Rabbit and Popeye
And Spiderman and Super Y
Dancing crazy in-a your mind
The world is too big to be kicked like a ball
You have time to go peep over the wall
[Verse 6]
Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there's no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there's no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
So live your life to the fullest, I say, yo, youth
[Verse 7]
So you star go a-college
But rude boy and books, it's a cultural damage
Youth is a challenge
Friends over knowledge
Rum over porridge
But say you glad, say she gets a miscarriage
[Verse 8]
Young is fool and fool is brave
And brave till death stares right in your face
Only you to be blame and mama told you from when
Move from the ends and bad friends
[Verse 9]
Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there's no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there's no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
So live your life to the fullest, yo, youth
[Verse 10]
For everything, there is a season and a time for every matter
A time to be born and time to die
A time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted
A time to kill and a time to heal
A time to break down and a time to build up
A time to weep and a time to laugh
[Verse 11]
Now you teach him how fi walk, now you teach him how fi talk
And all the things them that you learn from your youth
Fifty candles blow off, memories make you laugh
Your grand pickney jumping all over you
[Verse 12]
You buy him the tricycle, the bicycle
You soothe him with a popsicle
Life, it's all a cycle, it's written in-a the bible
The longest able live to see the most
Live for today 'cause tomorrow not a must, well-a
[Verse 13]
Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there's no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
Rocky road, a rocky road
Life is a cycle, there's no time to waste
Life is a rocky road, a rocky road
So live your life to the fullest, yo, yo, yo, yo
