Oh yeah, Jah bless
Hear the street-side wisdom now
Easy now
Walking down the avenue, keeping alert
Seeing how the world spins in the dirt
Any street guy will tell you the truth
From the elder man down to the youth
When a man works hard and gets money in his hand
The next thing on his mind is a woman in the land
It is a natural force, a fire burning bright
Keep your eyes wide open in the day and night
Like bread and butter, they go hand in hand
Money and desire, across the land
That is the way Jah made it from heaven above
Security and a whole lot of love
Yeah, bread and butter, that's what's going on
From the evening shadow to the early dawn
Stay alert, my brother, keep your focus clear
The hustle and the heartbeat is all that we hear
You get the paper, then you seek the sweet embrace
It's the ancient story of the human race
No need to hide it, no need to pretend
It's how the cycle goes, from beginning to the end
Just keep it righteous, let your spirit rise
Underneath the watchful tropical skies
Like bread and butter, they go hand in hand
Money and desire, across the land
That is the way Jah made it from heaven above
Security and a whole lot of love
Yeah, bread and butter, that's what's going on
From the evening shadow to the early dawn
Jah bless, one love
Bread and butter, yeah
Just the way Jah made it
Easy now
