[Intro]
And this a Lila pon the mic
Oh lawd oh lawd lawd lawd
Oh gosh
[Verse 1]
Thankful for the blessings that have fallen on my table
Learning all my lessons now I'm willing and I'm able
To do just what I can, as humble as a lamb
Working towards the goal and we give thanks for helping hands
Pray for health and strength, a life of length and peace of mind
Good people and good vibes, yes we give thanks every time
Inna every single line, even if it nuh rhyme
Mi ago sing redemption songs fi di people
[Chorus]
When I think of where I'm coming from
Looking back at where the journey begun
I really haffi say that I'm strong, I'm strong
All praises to the most high one
Look at where I'm coming from
Looking back at where the journey begun
I really haffi say that I'm strong, I'm strong
All praises to the most high one
[Verse 2]
Mek mi tell you bout the life of a queen inna this yah concrete jungle
Firm inna regime so you nah go see mi stumble
Mama say nuh come a town an' mix wit dutty bungle
See't deh now mi jus a rise and so mi rise a so mi humble
Outta Christiana yes mi lef go look fi mine
Neva sell mi soul, mi settle down and tek mi time
Do it for the love so naturally the light a shine
Now mi realize its by design
[Chorus]
When I think of where I'm coming from
Looking back at where the journey begun
I really haffi say that I'm strong, I'm strong
All praises to the most high one
Can I tell you where I'm coming from
Looking back at where the journey begun
I really haffi say that I'm strong, I'm strong
All praises to the most high one
[Verse 3]
Heights of great men, reach and kept
Memba when you go deh so you nuh fi ever lef'
Morewhile you have fi toil, you might a crush up like a foil
Still you betta gwan burn the midnight oil
It won't be an easy road
But anytime mi overcome the pressure yeah it free me soul
Cause Jah will never give me more than I can bear
So tell mi wah me really haffi fear
[Chorus]
When I think of where I'm coming from
Looking back at where the journey begun
I really haffi say that I'm strong, I'm strong
All praises to the most high one
Can I tell you where I'm coming from
Looking back at where the journey begun
I really haffi say that I'm strong, I'm strong
All praises to the most high one
[Bridge]
I - I

To the most high
To the most high
To the most high
To the most high

When I look at where I'm coming from
Caspa did deh deh when mi voice mi first song
And him can tell you seh I'm strong, I'm strong
All praises to the most high one
