Well in the game of life let me tell you what the case is
some people got bad hands, some people got aces
some people got diamonds, some people got spades still
the world keeps moving on
you got the kings and queens and jacks of all trades
and the rest make up the numbers trying to get paid
they could be working as a pair or as a group cooperating
and some just doing wrong
you have the joker an' have the club but him just pretending
drinking and living it up
nah no time fi thinking
if the money ever done they'll be be quickly sinking
but they just keep grooving on
no matter who you are

you, you've got to, just got to keep on trying
and keep...
doing your best with the hand that you get
and don't give up that fight
no no no you,
can't stop, you can't weep, can't keep on crying
just keep...doing your best
you know life is a test
it's gonna be alright

some people living in a full house with one bag a yutes
making it end to mouth end
you know that's the truth
but the love inna dem heart is a food substitute
and dem mek it all through
how about you
if you born without a gold spoon
there's no time to waste
'cause the road is rocky
and winding make haste
while you bending them corners
my yutes you stay straight
and just hold the faith
you'll make it through the gate
don't get lost inna the crush
if you stumble don't drop
don't you flush all your dreams if your journey get stuff
at the ending of the day is jah face we going touch
and he knows the flop
so you don't give up

no you...
you've got to, just got to keep on trying
and keep...
doing your best with the hand that you get
and don't give up that fight
no no no you,
can't stop, you can't weep, can't keep on crying
just keep...doing your best
you know life is a test
it's gonna be alright

I know how you feel (feeling)
most never get a fair deal (deal)
yuh haffi fight or beg borrow steal (steal)
and it's so hard just to get a good meal (yeah)
yeah eh
know all you want
is a fair chance to get to the top (top)
you have to keep on climbing non-stop
full-stop, full-stop
oh ah

oh oh you,
you've got to, just got to keep on trying
and keep...
doing your best with the hand that you get
and don't give up that fight
no no no you,
can't stop, you can't weep, can't keep on crying
just keep...doing your best
you know life is a test
it's gonna be alright

you, you've got to, just got to keep on trying
and keep...
doing your best with the hand that you get
and don't give up that fight
no no no you,
can't stop, you can't, weep can't keep on crying
just keep...doing your best
you know life is a test
it's gonna be alright
