Текст пісні
As long as there's blood within my
veins and there is air within my lungs
Jah blessed me with a brain so no, you can't call me no dunce
As long as mi ears a hear and feel vibration on the drums
As long as mi heart a pump mi nah go ball say mi short offunds
My fate is in my own hands, mi pinky to mi thumbs
Mi foot dem and mi hand dem, mi a kick and mi a punch
I shall not relent, or when I'm walking with a hunch
All when mi hair get grey up and no teeth nuh inna mi gums
I a say
As long as I got my health,
I say the Lord shall grant me the strength
And that shall be my wealth
As long as I got my health I'll pray to the Lord for the strength
And that shall be my wealth
As long as I got my health
Yuh nah go hear mi complain say mi short of work
Long as mi lungs dem and mi kidneys and mi heart a work
And from mi brain a work that mean mi can do smarter work
See from mi back a work, tomorrow mi gone back a work
Big up all the man dem on the farmer work
Wheh have the cutlass and the file dem and the fork a work
Big up all taxi man pon robot and pon charter work
Time is money, so I man working while the clock a work
As long as I got my health,
I say the Lord God grant me the strength
And that shall be my wealth
Jah give me the strength
I say as long as I got my health
oh yes the Lord shall grant me the strength
and that shall be my wealth
as long as I got my health
Careful of the gravy that will send you to your grave
Salt and the sugar that will shorten yuh days
Vitamins and Proteins, in many ways
Organic inna mi tonic keep the cathy dem amazed
Too much of the cholesterol block up yuh arteries
And too much of smoking make you wheeze and all cough for days
Easy with the alcohol inna yuh party days
Remember seh yuh goin feel if yuh hard a ears
As long as I got my health,
I say the Lord shall grant me the strength
And that shall be my wealth
Jah give me the strength
as long as I got my health
the Lord shall grant me the strength
and that shall be my wealth
as long as I got my health
