🎶 DON’T LET YOUR ABUNDANCE BECOME WASTE
(Roots Reggae Arrangement – Your Words)
Intro (Spoken over drum & bass)
Don’t allow your abundance to become waste.
Don’t allow your abundance to become waste.

Verse 1
As human beings, we are abundant
Abundant with money, time, health, friendships, food, material objects
It doesn’t matter what social status you are living in
We are all abundant
But so many of us turn our abundance into waste
With our money, we buy unnecessary material things that we don’t need
With our time, we procrastinate, become lazy, and don’t develop ourselves
We waste it by taking things personally
Or even talking badly about others
⸻
Chorus
Don’t let your abundance become waste
Don’t let your abundance become waste
Money is energy
Energy is life
Life is peace
Peace is discipline
Don’t let your abundance become waste
⸻
Verse 2
Don’t let your abundance become waste
Because when you compare yourself, it creates tension and stress
That stress might lead you to do something that kills your humanity
Simply because you’re wasting your energy
Doubting your ability to rise above your conditioning
Don’t allow your abundance to become waste
By looking for attention that you don’t need
By playing the wounded child
The wounded wife
The wounded humanity
You are wasting all your abundant energy
⸻
Bridge (Drop – Heavy bass & drum space)
Discipline and conscious effort
Will raise our humanity
And stop us from wasting our resources
And our human connection
⸻
Final Chorus (Extended Chant)
Don’t let your abundance become waste
Don’t let your abundance become waste
Because one day all of it — all our abundance — will cease to exist
And the only thing we will have lived and left on this planet
Is purity
Clarity
Unity in diversity
As we continue into the next phase of human existence
The only thing you leave on this planet
Is your authenticity as a human being
The ones who met you
Carry on the torch of human connection
So in this way
We never waste our abundant energy
