DJ Frass records
Give thanks for a new day
Ah better tomorrow
[Verse 1]
Keep on keep on press, push forward
Neva let the wicked get you down
Gotta make ah, gotta make ah step (Step, keep on stepping)
Some of the time we get caught up in the moment
So overwhelm of the drive but I don't know where I'm going
So I hold my head, and I cry I don't want to
Tell myself how I can't do
But remember you must never lose hope (Never lose hope, never lose hope)
[Chorus]
IIIIIIIII (IIIII), IIIII (IIIII) have a purpose inna life
Open up yuh eyes analyze and realize
Seh yuh got the powers inside
Stand sturdy pon de journey
'Cause we live it and we learn eh
The victory sweeter when yuh know the battle was a furnace
Light a fire pon corruption mek we burn it
Dem cyah stop weh a fi youuuu
[Verse 2]
Ay-ay, ay the road rocky neva say it all sweet
Woulda quit already if mi heart weak
Youth yuh nah last, dark times ago past
Neva listen to dem when dem say yuh cyah dweet
Reminder it's good to be humble and it's good to be bold
Stay true to who yuh war because it's good fi de soul
Dem never really war we mek it, it's truth to be told
But Jah-Jah have a plan fi youuu
[Chorus]
IIIIIIIII (IIIII), IIIII (IIIII) have a purpose inna life
Open up yuh eyes analyze and realize
Seh yuh got the powers inside
Stand sturdy pon de journey
'Cause we live it and we learn eh
The victory sweeter when yuh know the battle was a furnace
Light a fire pon corruption mek we burn it
Dem cyah stop weh a fi youuuu
[Verse 3]
Dem try fi keep we down, waan get we off of track
That means me work so hard, me come so far, cyah mess up that
Dem throw we out inna the jungle
Now we ah lead the pact
Nah go mek dem draw we out
'Cause we nah ediot (I)
Wanna inspire ma people so they understand
Encourage them fi do de right and lowe de wrong
Looking at my early years I was a loose cannon
Haffi mek ah change, has to be ah better one
[Chorus]
IIIIIIIII (IIIII), IIIII (IIIII) have a purpose you and I
Open up yuh eyes analyze and realize
Seh yuh got the powers inside
Stand sturdy pon de journey
'Cause we live it and we learn it
The victory sweeter when yuh know the battle was a furnace
Light a fire pon corruption mek we burn it
Dem cyah stop weh a fi youuuu
