The Green (band)
Marching Orders
[Verse 1: The Green}
Some can't understand me
Some still try to figure me out
'Cause when I talk the people listen
Some affi cool down
Some be catching heat almost everyday
But that's not my destination
[Chorus]
I'm not gonna waste my time today
When I've got something to say
I've been through the whirlwinds and the rain
Still I stand here today
Much more wiser
Far more stronger
You knock me down and I get back up on my feet
Forward till my mission's complete
Marching orders
Marching orders
[Verse 2: The Green}
I'm starting to believe that maybe I'm on
A whole nother level than everyone
I be on my grind everyday of the month
If I keep it up, I'm a destroy ya
'Cause you'd be surprised how many ask for it
But don't want to put in work to make it
Just take your time and keep it passionate
And no one can tell you that you've faked it
[Chorus]
I'm not gonna waste my time today
When I've got something to say
I've been through the whirlwinds and the rain
Still I stand here today
Much more wiser
Far more stronger
You knock me down and I get back up on my feet
Forward till my mission's complete
Marching orders

[Verse 3: Busy Signal]
Suh right yah now mi stronger
Mi wiser, mi, mi, mi braver!
Positive energy mi say that's mi motivator
Stepping up inna di place
Mi keeping it hot like the equator
Praises to the most high
Greater the creator cause
Nuh tell mi nuh nonsense
Cyaan draw mi in a dem conference
Matter of fact
Nuff a dem naw nuh morals
Nor nuh conscience
Never see nutten substantial in a dem daily contests
Moving fast yuh cyaan stuck inna the past
Cah that a the past-tense
Ain't no giving up inna the streets
Yes you affi keep on
You affi keep on
Hold firm
Never accept defeat
Yes you affi keep on
You affi keep on
Persevere and you know you affi reach
Yes you affi keep on
You affi keep on
Determination inna the nation highest peak
Yes you affi keep on
You affi keep on
When mi seh fi
Hot head!
Play the horns right deh suh
Cah mi say suh
[Bridge: The Green]
I give thanks to the highest of kings 'cause
My mistakes should put fire pon me but
It's a blessing just to be here
And I believe that I can put some
Love back into the world
I know that it ain't gon' be easy
But the way that things are going
What do we got to lose
Tell me what do I got to lose
[Chorus]
I'm not gonna waste my time today
When I've got something to say
I've been through the whirlwinds and the rain
Still I stand here today
Much more wiser
Far more stronger
You knock me down and I get back up on my feet
Forward till my mission's complete
