(Intro)
Rise up
Mighty race
An put the stare of adversity inna Babylon face
Dem gweh every poor people
God shall take the case
ghetto youths get real
Be realistic, doan jus be a statistic
Neva
How come?
Yow, babylon wi caah cramp up
Self esteem, slew Philistine
(Verse 1)
Not everythin yuh can achieve in one go
Some things are very hard
But when you ova come that hurdle
Yuh get a sense of real reward
Even the greatest stumble
But still doan let down yuh gaurd
Yuh got to motivate yourself, elevate yourself
Nuh under-estimate yuhself, push yuh self
(Chorus)
Go for yuh dreams And you’ll acheive
Yuh fin’ out how success feel
Jus’ keep it real
Doan drop you sheil’
The great fall but dem neva yeil’
Yeah
(Verse 2)
Every great story have a history
It takes guts and zeal
In order fi achieve fi yuh victory
Yo got to put yo shoulders to the wheel
people when yo fail and yo get derail
buckle yuh belt and lace yuh shoes caws yuh muss prevail
Fight fi all you want mek sure yuh set fi sail
an [?] when you get the chance yuh hit di nail
Reality is more than a fairy-tale
So strive to the highest like a nightingale
Even tho obstacles might deh pon the trail
Neva you be afraid to
(Chorus)
Go for yuh dreams And you’ll acheive
Yuh fin’ out how success feel
Jus’ keep it real
Doan drop you sheil’
The great fall but dem neva yeil’
Yeah
(Verse 3)
Every great story have a history
But it takes guts and zeal
In order fi achieve fi yuh victory
You got to put yud shoulders to the wheel
Seven times rise and seven time fall
brush off you self an go stan’ tall
Motivate yuh self an conquer it all
Even when yuh hit the wall!
Yo resilience plus all yuh ambition
With patience equal a betta man
Every set back wi pay yuh for a betta plan
Determination a di key to the ignition
(Chorus)
Go for yo dreams And you’ll acheive
Yuh fin’ out how success feel
Jus’ keep it real doan drop you sheil’
The great fall but dem neva yeil’
Yeah
(Bridge)
Every great story have a history
But it takes guts and zeal
In order fi achieve fi yuh victory
You got to put yo shoulders to the wheel
Not everythin yuh can achieve in one go
Some things are very hard
But when you ova come that hurdle
Yuh get a sense of real reward
Even the greatest stumble
But still doan let down yuh gaurd
Yuh got to motivate yourself, elevate yourself
Nuh under-estimate yuhself, push yuh self
(Chorus)
Go for yuh dreams And you’ll acheive
Yuh fin’ out how success fell
Jus’ keep it real doan drop you sheil’
The great fall but dem neva yeil’

(Outro)
Every great story have a history
But it takes guts and zeal
In order to achieve fi yuh victory
You got to put yo shoulders to the wheel
