[Intro]
Cure again! Come to give you more
This one’s for the ghetto
This one’s from the heart
My people in the ghetto, this one’s for you
For you
Yeeaah

[Bridge]
Oh Jah, I hear the sirens going every night
Oh Jah, I hate turning on the news
But oh Jah, they say it’s just a prophecy
But oh Jah, please show us what to do

[Verse 1]
Go to bed hungry no wake up mad
It’s hard in the streets
Make it or take it it’s true but sad
We’ve got kids to feed
But oh Jah look what I’ve become, yeah
So Jah, I know it can be done

[Chorus]
My people stand up even though I know it’s hard
Even though it seems impossible
With your back against the wall, yeah yeah
Jah people stand up even though it might seems far
You can make it out it’s possible
Hold your head and just stay strong
[Verse 2]
Oh Jah, all my brother come fi get tatu, yeah
Oh Jah, turn my ghetto into gold
People might think that they understand
But who feels it knows
Walk in the shoes of the shoeless man before you throw your stone

[Chorus]
My people stand up even though I know it’s hard
Even though it seems impossible
With your back against the wall, yeah yeah
Jah people stand up even though it might seems far
You can make it out it’s possible
Hold your head and just stay strong

[Bridge]
Oh Jah, I hear the sirens going every night
Oh Jah, I hate turning on the news
But oh Jah, they say it’s just a prophecy
But oh Jah, please show us what to do

[Outro]
Stand up even though I know it’s hard
Even though it seems impossible
With your back against the wall, yeah yeah
Jah people stand up even though it might seems far
You can make it out it’s possible
Hold your head and just stay strong
