INTRO
And you know seh mi never want believe it or know so,
But we di conclusion seh, bad mind is evident.

VERSE 1
It was all good just a week ago
Now mi ask myself, how wi reach yah suh?
Yes I need to know, can’t figure out.
Cause everything did cool and running like di river flow.
What I’m speaking bout? What I’m missing out?
It’s like mi never see the “she” or “he-ego”
Oh really though !! a mi fi tell yu bout
Di ones weh neva buy nutten but wi sell yu out fuss.
These are the ones weh lost faith but the first fi come and grab di likkle food from yu plate.
Run away, or one way, or run away? But nutten nah change much if I stay.
Know that they still gonna hate. Worst when dem see your roof top a renovate
Elevate from di snakes, they out trying to make fake links ma’an they so China made.
You see a man’s heart but yu can’t see him face?
That’s why mi friend’s list have a very small space.
If a back in a di days I would have done something stupid,
But nuh time fi waste man a look it.

CHOROUS
Just a week ago we were so good
Now we find out dem up to no good
So we cut dem off fi wi own good
Own good my own good
Couple weeks ago we were so good
Now we find out their up to no good
Haffi cut dem off fi wi own good
Own good my own good.

VERSE 2
So has the clock it strikes, everything keep turning that is life.
I can’t imagine why you want fi stop yu breda from have him slice.
WELL!! A still me a couldn’t you this
Di friendship get over abusive, huh
Suh mi haffi get exclusive,
Cause it nuh mek semse arguing with a foolish man.
Because dem really can’t see mi seh dem really can’t see
Dem lack of vision and it a guh cost mi.
A likkle advice weh mi gi mi chargy, mi hand him a book from Marcus Garvey.
Tell him, self-reliance mek yu build largely, then yu nuh haffi complain seh yu hungry.
Suh !! Tek knowledge before technology.
Pon top a dat dem still sell out Garvey. Damnn!!

CHOROUS
Just a week ago we were so good
Now we find out dem up to no good
So we cut dem off fi wi own good
Own good my own good
Couple weeks ago we were so good
Now we find out their up to no good
Haffi cut dem off fi wi own good
Own good my own good.

VERSE 3
A wise man seh everything change with time
Suh when wi change for di better dem a waste dem time
Everything did crisp yeh back in a di days was fine.
But yu figat di phrase “make hay while sun shine”
Instead a look forward yu remain recline.
Yu never save a dime now “gimmie and lef a ting” a yu favourite line.
It was all good just a week ago
Now mi ask myself, how wi reach yah suh?
Yes I need to know, can’t figure out.
Cause everything did cool and running like di river flow.
What I’m speaking bout? What I’m missing out?
It’s like mi never see the “she” or “he-ego”
Oh really though !! a mi fi tell yu bout
Di ones weh neva buy nutten but wi sell yu out fuss.

CHOROUS
Just a week ago we were so good
Now we find out dem up to no good
So we cut dem off fi wi own good
Own good my own good
Couple weeks ago we were so good
Now we find out their up to no good
Haffi cut dem off fi wi own good
Own good my own good.
