(Verse 1)
Dem never see mi dark
But dem see mi light
Dem a talk and a seh mi hype
In a the past dem never care bout me
Or weh mi waan fi the sight
But when you rise dem a criticize
You tell lie fi see wi demise
You cyaa use gyal fi set mi up
Caw mi nuh frighten fi pretty eyes
(Chorus)
Suh when dem think a fail man a fail
Jah gimmi strength fi mi conquer
Just like a boat a sail man a sail
One wid out anchor
Caw man nuh have no dock a sock
No stop a stop
Man start step allot of trap
Badmind sit down pon block a chat
Like a parrot
But we deh pon top a top
(Verse 2)
Sufferation naw see mi face again
Stock man a stock up the paper dem
Caw a long time mi family a hold out
Daddy tired fi drive rub out
A that gimmi the strength, no doubt
All when wi young
Me and mi friends dem in the street til sun come out
Bough badmind the thing but dem nuh know
Where would I be without the almighty Jah
Stand by me
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Verse 1)
(Repeat Chorus)
