lyrics

eyes open up
i'm waking up
da life ya ruff
mi naa give up
in God mi trust
so dow it tuff
i just adjust

just let God be your guide all day
give your all everytime I say
just do you n no penny nobody

right now all yu have is today
go all out n no go half way
yu can win dat is all me a say
just do you n no penny nobody

so weh yu meditating
a bag a money good life yu penetrating
yu waa buss bigs str8 elevating
go hard right now nnn nnn no waiting
di question is weh yu do today king
yu cyaa cheat life dat no debating
yu affi put in the work fi get di great things
all night all day till yu see di scrapings

about

Karamanti Jamaica

Though the Reggae/Dancehall industry is dominated by men, Karamanti stands as a strong black woman, (in her home town of Kingston, Jamaica) raining showers of conscious lyrics to a generation far from reality.
