AVO2 Dec 20221 min read
Cover for Madd Bwoy Khaki's Day By Day: the artist sits on red-carpeted stairs beside an amplifier and electric guitar

Day by day inna life afe live it up
Life is a blessing mi cyan give it up
Gimme de way Moss high already map it out
Me voice ah me gift let me sing it out.

Verse

Jah gimme breath so mi have aneda bly
Embrace de gift so mi never stop try
Married to muzik nuh tell lie
Lyrics inna mi vein suh dnt ax why
Mi national flag haffe fly high
Tell de haters say bye bye
Conneck to Jah like wifi
Preserve life ah no sci fi

Verse 2

Make way tired of the back seat
Dem fe know seh who a run street
Foundation solid like concrete
Take over inna heart beat
Hot spit pon a jusa beat
Pump it up play it pon repeat
Burst it out like you just dont care
One day dem aguh honour we

Verse 3

We fall and rise
Life full of lows and highs
Memba de devil come inna disguise
Funny tings him use entice
Time fe open up your spiritual eyes
Inna dem time ya haffi get wise
Seek peace before the boat capsize
Memba to feed mind body and soul
