One Lifetime Ent Nuff

Yes, it is nice to get in conversation with women
For you will hear some things that you wouldn't hear from men
Like if them was man whey they woulda do
And who man they know more stupid than who
How they woulda live bachelor their whole life long
Woman couldn't have them drinking and falling down
But, this jamette ah bounce up in La Romain
She tune was the same, that same old refrain
But lyrics of a different vein
She tell me, One lifetime ent nuff, one lifetime ent nuff
Ah have to have time for mih husband, time for mih children
Time for mih sweet man, time for me
Time for I to reminisce, time enough to done with this
To be alive is nice but tough
One lifetime ent nuff

Yes, we commented on the nation's late recession
Some of the things that leads women into deep frustration
When you children ent have no shoe for their feet
To maintain them, their father playing hide and seek
"Life is what you make it", she say, seems out of place
Very few could make it today in this rat race
And praise to those who on a spiritual height
It's like hell for those who insist they got to exist on bacchanal and immoral flight
She tell me, One lifetime ent nuff, one lifetime ent nuff
You have to have time to save money, time when you sickly
Time for recovery, time to spree
Time to see a dream come true, time to provide for your offsprings too
To be alive is nice but tough
One lifetime ent nuff

I must admit I thought that prostitutes had forget
The true virtues of life, the up and downs and the assets
But this jamette woman, she put me right
She made me see things in a different light
After all we are nothing more that human beings
To each his own, striving to survive on different scenes
And there are things that you would like to do
But then it's up to Mother Nature and Father Time to decide if you could pursue
She tell me, One lifetime ent nuff, one lifetime ent nuff
You have to have time for growing up, time for freeing up
Time for checking up, time for so
Time to control one's ego, time to know when to say no
To be alive is nice but rough
One lifetime ent nuff.

I realise just then the angle she coming from
Boy, it is always said a woman's work never done
Although whey she say make Black Prince tremble
It woulda be nice if was possible
For all of them times that I wasted having fun
Ah sure ah need another lifetime to right the wrongs
And I believe that you woulda admit also
That we would hardly ever have to accept the fact of regret and "If ah did know"
She tell me, One lifetime ent nuff, one lifetime ent nuff
You have to have time for soul seeking, time for self finding
Time, time for so
Time for true maturity, time to ------
For man does ----- for time ------
One lifetime ent nuff.

A Note From The Gull

Beautiful!

"Time for I to reminisce, time enough to done with this
To be alive is nice but tough
One lifetime ent nuff."

Thank you Black Prince.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people

Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.
