A LIVING MEH LIFE
By Mighty Dougla

Anywhere you go, is the same cry, people never, never satisfy
All where you go, is the same old cry, people never, never satisfy
They could have cash high as a mountain
Still for all they always complaining
Before they try to enjoy life and have a little fun
They want to own the moon and the sun.

Not me!

I living my life and I leaving no room for regret
No dead man ever get up and tell me
He had a good time in the grave as yet
I intend to enjoy mih money, I intend to live mih life happy
Man, I eating and I drinking and I having mih good fun
Because I know when I dead, I done.

I did not say to act crazy and squander all your money
But why should you work like a donkey and not enjoy a lil luxury
You might end up like mih friend John did
He never satisfy, now he down in the grave
But you know he wife happy with a fella name Freddy
Spreading joy with mih man money.

So is that's why,

I living my life and I leaving no room for regret
No dead man ever get up and tell me
He had a good time down dey as yet
I intend to enjoy mih money, I intend to live mih life happy
Man, I eating and I drinking and I having mih good fun
Because I know when I dead, I done.

An Indian fella name Ghany used to starve just to save money
And he used to bury this money underneath a big breadfruit tree
You know I find out the secret, as Ghany gone, I went and I tief it
You know the man went crazy, start questioning the tree
He say the tree that tief the money.

So is that's why,

I living my life and I leaving no room for regret
No dead man ever get up and tell me
He had a good time in the grave as yet
I intend to enjoy mih money, I intend to live mih life happy
Man, I eating and I drinking and I having mih good fun
Because I know when I dead, I done.

Some people may say I'm a madman, I say to enjoy life while you can
Try your best to be happy because in life have no guarantee
You might have big plans for the future
You come and get knock down by a motor car
Well, is you gone down the line, leaving everything behind
You sure to die with a worried mind

Not me!

I living my life and I leaving no room for regret
No dead man ever get up and tell me
"Look ah wabine going dey!" as yet
I intend to enjoy mih money, I intend to live mih life happy
Man, I eating and I drinking and I having mih good fun
Because I know when I dead, I done.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Mighty Dougla, for the melodious wake up call.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
