A beautifully crafted soft-reggae number which almost smacks a modern day collaboration between international greats Wyclef Jean and Mary J. Blige… But this blend is right on our doorstep in the likes of Jahna with those amazing vocals and the mastermind behind it all Kidosie. But a kid he isn't! His talent and exposure to this sort of musical style gives us one of the most appealing 'Marley style reggae numbers to hit our shores to date. JBC's gift is in the arrangements and the well crafted lyrics which gives this number an almost anthem-like quality.

Intro:
Oooh… Oh non…non…non… You know, Ziska ki tan zot pou kontinyen fer nou pas sa mizer, kontinyen fer nou soufer
Nou anvoy de pa an avan zot pous nou kat pa an aryer, eski zot napa en leker?
Ti dir pou annan me pa ti dir ke ler. Ehh.. So ekoute…
Refren:
Nou lekonomi pe tonbe, zot dir nou ki ya pe drese, larzan pe devalye, tou keksoz ya pe ogmante
Oli komodite pou nou kapab konsonmen, en bann pe pas lasarite, en bann a pe plenyen
Ya pe tonbe, zot dir nou ki ya pe drese, larzan pe devalye, tou keksoz pe deteryore
Oli komodite pou nou kapab konsonmen
En bann pe pas lasarite, en bann ape plenyen
Vers:
Oli sa bon lavi, ki nou ti pe sipoze viv, avek nou fanmiy, avek nou pti trezor
Zour an zour lavi pe vin pli dir, mon zwenn mon zanmi i nepli dir mwan ki dir
I nepli annan sa sourir ki ti anan lo son figir, partou kot i pase idir lavi…Ya pe tonbe…
Repet refren
Vers:
Ze krwaz en dye ki la vi en zour ya va meyer, lanmen lo mon leker, kontinyen fer mon lapriyer
Demann bondye la gras pou nou sorti dan sa lanfer, anvoy son bann bon lanz pou nou lager ek lisifer
Si nou pa refer nwa transfer, lavi pe vin pli ser, ou anvoy de pa devan zot pous ou kat pa deryer
Ek zot zafer leker me zot pa war nou pe soufer
Nou lavi tya meyer si zot tya ogmante nou saler
Repet refren
Vers:
Touzour solid parey en gale dan en miray, kantmenm lalit i long nou pa pou lager fay
Pou nou fanmiy nou pou kontinyen travay, kontinyen struggle, nou pou kontinyen try
Nou pou kontinyen sante, kontinyen priye, kantmenm mon lavwa i an way mon pa pou aret sante
Kantmenm so far away, mon lavwa zot pou tande, wi zot pou tande, wi… Ya pe tonbe…

En ban a pe plenyen… wo… wo… Jahna you know…'jammin' with Jah Bless Crew'

You know…Zis regarde en pe dan nou welfare, you know
Act konmsi zot care…
