Happiness come together mek we put it to the test
Happiness everyone deserves the best
Yow Targyt! Come een!
I’ve been on my job, I ain’t gon’ sign out
No negativity, hmm, lemme find out
Put your soul in it, take your mind out
Like after ten dawg, don’t take that nine out
Where they hide in we don’t hide out
Better stand up don’t let them pull your spine out
They pull a couple strings, you pull that grind out
Tap in the inner you and enterprise out
All you got to do, be yourself and keep it real
All you need to do, live your life the way you feel
Happiness come together mek we put it to the test, aah
Happiness everyone deserves the best
Bring it star!
Ugh! We gon’ slide out, we gon’ ride out
We gon’ smoke some positivity, vibe out
We been in the hole, we gon’ climb out
They say life’s a game, ain’t no time out
Happiness come together mek we put it to the test, oh Jah
Happiness everyone deserves the best
Yes king!
Happiness and joy, yes
When gunshot bus’ that only bring sadness
What happen to the honor and the love and respect
Too much blood a shed, stop all the badness
Let’s make things positive
Don’t it feel good when you give
Got to make a better way to live
Keep trodding in the positive, whoi!
It’s not the bling but a the joy something
Inna we heart and not the purse-string
And if you tek a lot at least give a little back
Cause when you share the blessing that a the real jackpot
The youth them need some joy and some true happiness
So back weh with the greed and all the pettiness
I’ve been on my job, I ain’t gon’ sign out
No negativity, hmm, lemme find out
Put your soul in it, take your mind out
Like after ten dawg, don’t take that nine out
Ugh! … we gon’ ride out
We gon’ smoke some positivity, vibe out
We been in the hole, we gon’ climb out
They say life’s a game, ain’t no time out
Happiness come together mek we put it to the test, long overdue
Happiness everyone deserves the best, yes lord
Happiness come together mek we put it to the test, whoi-oh
Happiness everyone deserves the best
