(Intro)
Big up every selector, every DJ

Producer weh mix down mi songs dem when mi DJ
Inna studio dem no sleep fi all 3 day
Big up every patron, all the gate man
Mix tape man and every radio station
Sound system weh mi songs dem a play pon
Haters weh encourage mi fi stay strong

Caw mi naw be ungrateful
Give thanks all when mi plate full

A wait fi the gate pull
So mi a thank the lord
Thank you Jah

Yow Markus life could a worst

But mi a give thanks cause mi no hide inna pressure
Yeh and to the father mi writing a letter
You meck mi wear Clarks and Nike inna sweater
Watch yah, yo never corn my rice wid no pepper
And life still deh yah, mi no live pon a stretcher
Nuff people tell mi strive fi the better
And help mi fi climb up the ladder

Thanks fi who accept and who refuse
And thanks to mi brethren mud inna New Nork
