Protoje – No Guarantee lyrics

[Intro: Protoje]
I know nuff a them woulda want we gone
(I know them woulda want me gone)
Sit down everyday and a wish we harm
(Too much time pon them hands, you nuh?)
But why would a king ever fear a pawn?
(A king would never hear them)
So what them a go do when they hear this one?
Bang bang
(Yeh)

[Verse 1: Protoje]
No take tellings, want me no fi say this
Man will see you farm and gone inna you lettuce
People mean you harm, you can't tell what a friend is
Grudge you for your paper, scorn you for your pennies
When you nuh see me, me gone fi get replenish
Back up in the morning, can't forget the message, no
Avocado she feel for it, me send it
Them yam and banana, it sweet to she belly, jeez
A what make life sweet so like a jelly
Climb fi it, it hard, can't easy so fi get it
Song deh pon the radio, video pon the telly
Love inna me heart, me a spread it, catch the medi

[Hook: Chronixx]
People got expectaions (expectations)
Will they love you? No guarantee (no guarantee)
People all need salvation (need salvation)
Will they save you? No guarantee (no guarantee)

[Verse 2: Protoje]
Some no like how you live, want fi carry you go court
Some will burn every bridge and still a look fi support
Jealousy is a cloud, check the weather report
That's why me tighten the ship and then me arm up the fort
Now the biggest of foes, once the closest of friends
But you know how it goes, oh the fake will pretend
Some will shake off your hand and break bread in your house
Soon as you turn your back them waa run up on your spouse
Some will say you no ras 'cause you jump in a benz
Like me never see Selassie in a couple of them
Some a watch what you earn and a count what you spend
Always want it fi borrow, never have it fi lend
But you see...

[Hook: Chronixx]
People got expectaions (expectations)
Will they love you? No guarantee (no guarantee)
People all need salvation (need salvation)
Will they save you? No guarantee (no guarantee)

[Pre Chorus: Protoje]
(Ayy)
No matter what them a go say, me haffi live me life
No worries pon me head when me a go a bed a night
Mummy, daddy, sister, yara, everybody nice
Cousin, aunty, bredrin, yeah them haffi get a slice
Man them used to pack a thing and put it pon a bike
Send it go a town and them hitch it pon a flight
When it reach a foreign them a go triple the price
Benz inna community and bimma like a...
Rice!
Get 'way with it once and so them haffi do it twice
One deh underground, the other one a jail fi life
A valuable lesson: Nothing happen over night

[Hook: Chronixx]
People got expectaions (expectations)
Will they love you? No guarantee (no guarantee)
People all need salvation (need salvation)
Will they save you? No guarantee (no guarantee)
(Will they save you?)

[Outro: Chronixx]
I wonder if them a go save you?
Will they save you?
Will they... they save you?
I wonder if they save you
I wonder if they goin' save you
Save you, whoa, save you now
I wonder if they goin' save you..
