[Intro]
I pray thee, I pray thee
Once again
I wonder to be surrounded by ones with such talent... ya know
[Verse]
Speak life
Live a humble and meek life
Ordinary day of the week life
Try to search and seek life
Way up (Wo-Oooah)
Keep your head up and stay up (Wo-Oooah)
Even when you sore and pain love (Wo-Oooah)
Never giving up til its game up (Wo-Oooah)
Keep your aim up
And focus
Don't concentrate on what's bogus
Never sell out for a bonus
Handle your biz like grown ups, Own up
It's amazing (Wo-Oooah)
The way Jah fire keeps blazing (Wo-Oooah)
That's why I constantly praise him (Wo-Oooah)
For some of them it's a phase thing (Wo-Oooah)
So they're gazing
On the street lights
Till dem catch up in street fights
Cause are pretending they're street wise
And put a end to a brief life
I feel Like
It's a mystery (Wo-Oooah)
How we keep repeating our history (Wo-Oooah)
Making the same mistakes as our ancestry (Wo-Oooah)
Seems like all of life lessons missed we (Wo-Oooah)
It's risky
So give praises
One day you may find your oasis
Rise up to the challenge you're faced with
Be upful and creative
You'll make it
It's basics (Wo-Oooah)
People been doing it for ages (Wo-Oooah)
Many other cultures and places (Wo-Oooah)
On a regular basis (Wo-Oooah)
There’s so many cases
Lets face it, man
Way too much time has been wasted, man
Building military bases
Fighting a war with no basis
Life is sacred (Wo-Oooah)
And every baby born naked (Wo-Oooah)
Some man ah gwaan like dem raise big (Wo-Oooah)
And don't care what they're making (Wo-Oooah-oh)
They can't take it
So speak life, man
All this darkness don't feel right, man
[Outro]
Wo-Oooah
Wo-Oooah-oh
Wo-Oooah
Wo-Oooah-ooh
