Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Oh-oh-oh

Demons knocking on my door

But I no fit open up

And me I no fit sell my soul (ayo)

Me no dey stress anymore

'Cause I'm blessed and I'm young

And the blessings come from God (ayo)

So me get down on the floor

Say a prayer to my father

Say a prayer to my Lord (ayo)

Nothing in this life is sure

So me get up on the road

And me live life my way, yay (ayo)

7 a.m. and the sun is shining

And then I hear my song pon the radio

With a Caribbean girl beside me (ayo)

I don't need to talk, you already know

I'm just having fun, I'm just having fun

Oh-oh, oh-oh

I'm just having fun, I'm just having fun

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Wake up, roll one jay for the morning

Good vibes all my guys link up

There's no time and life is short

So I live my life and I seize every moment (ayo)

One of my girlfriend's calling

Don't think I might pick up

Low-key, I might be drunk

I'm spending time, I'm spending money (ayo)

Big ups to my guys, my family

Big ups to my girls, they love me

Big ups to my friends and foes

And my day ones who never gave up on me (ayo)

Pull up in the range wassup

Turn up at the club, let's go!

Let's celebrate tonight, and have some fun

'Cause when tomorrow comes

7 a.m. and the sun is shining

And then I hear my song pon the radio

With a Caribbean girl beside me (ayo)

I don't need to talk, you already know

I'm just having fun, I'm just having fun

Oh-oh, oh-oh

I'm just having fun, I'm just having fun

Oh-oh, oh-oh

7 a.m. and the sun is shining

And then I hear my song pon the radio

With a Caribbean girl beside me (ayo)

I don't need to talk, you already know

I'm just having fun, I'm just having fun

Oh-oh, oh-oh

I'm just having fun, I'm just having fun

Oh-oh, oh-oh

(Ayo)

(Ayo)
