Lyrics

(Reggae

upstroke,

smooth

bassline

Yeah,

life

has

a

funny

way

of

showing

you

the

truth

Ohoh,

uyeh

uyeh

Listen

close

now,

brother

It’

s

all

about

the

cycle

You

see

when

the

pot

is

full

and

the

table

is

set

Everybody

pull

up

a

chair,

they

don't

want

to

forget

They

laughing

loud,

taking

more

than

their

share

Acting

like

they

truly,

deeply,

really

care

But

watch

the

mood

change

when

the

flavor

is

gone

When

the

food

is

finished,

they

leave

you

all

alone

They

call

it

a

dirty

plate,

put

it

to

the

side

It’

s

the

way

of

the

world,

nowhere

left

to

hide

Ilesanmi

Dada

When

the

food

finished,

they

look

at

you

so

cold

Trading

in

your

friendship

for

something

they

can

hold

They

celebrate

the

harvest

but

they

hate

the

plow

Don’

t

let

their

shallow

vision

break

your

spirit

now

Ohoh,

uyeh

uyeh

Keep

your

head

high

when

they

walk

away

You’

re

worth

more

than

the

meal

you

served

yesterday

They

only

call

your

name

when

they

need

a

favor

Searching

for

the

sweetness,

the

temporary

flavor

But

once

the

supply

is

low

and

the

well

runs

dry

They

won’

t

even

look

you

straight

in

the

eye

It’

s

a

bitter

lesson

but

it’

s

one

you

must

learn

Don’

t

let

the

fire

of

their

vanity

make

you

burn

Your

value

isn’

t

tied

to

what

you

provide

It’

s

the

soul

that

you

carry,

the

goodness

inside

When

the

food

finished,

they

look

at

you

so

cold

Trading

in

your

friendship

for

something

they

can

hold

They

celebrate

the

harvest

but

they

hate

the

plow

Don’

t

let

their

shallow

vision

break

your

spirit

now

Ohoh,

uyeh

uyeh

Keep

your

head

high

when

they

walk

away

You’

re

worth

more

than

the

meal

you

served

yesterday

Ask

yourself

a

question,

keep

it

deep

and

true

Do

they

value

your

heart,

or

what

they

get

from

you?

If

they

only

love

the

service

and

not

the

man

Then

they

never

really

understood

your

master

plan

Real

friends

stay

when

the

table

is

bare

They

look

at

your

worth

even

when

nothing

is

there (

Melodic,

warm

reggae

improvisation)

So

let

them

go,

let

the

fair-weather

people

slide

Don’

t

carry

the

weight

of

their

ego

inside

Build

your

own

garden,

let

your

own

roots

grow

Surround

yourself

with

people

who

truly

know

That

you

are

a

diamond,

even

when

you

have

naught

Not

just

a

commodity

that

can

be

bought

Life

goes

on,

brother,

step

with

pride

Let

the

truth

be

your

compass,

let

it

be

your

guide

When

the

food

finished,

they

look

at

you

so

cold

Trading

in

your

friendship

for

something

they

can

hold

They

celebrate

the

harvest

but

they

hate

the

plow

Don’

t

let

their

shallow

vision

break

your

spirit

now

Ohoh,

uyeh

uyeh

Keep

your

head

high

when

they

walk

away

You’

re

worth

more

than

the

meal

you

served

yesterday

Yeah,

they

want

the

meal

but

they

don't

want

the

man

Understand,

brother,

just

understand

Life

is

a

cycle,

let

it

spin

True

worth

comes

from

deep

within

Uyeh

uyeh,

ohoh

Keep

moving,

keep

shining (

Fade

out

bass

and

drums)
