[Intro]
Let my name be bitter on their tongue
When they talk, yeah
They shall all be weep and withered like grass
Guide mi yeah when I’m out in these streets
Protect mi from these enemies with all cause
Genah Genah, Uptop

[Chorus]
Father can yuh wipe dis pain away
Trying tuh break these heavy chains of man
I know I’m not perfect I might make mistakes
Forgive mi for my sins I’m gonna mek a change

[Post-Chorus]
Ghetto youths rich wi fi rich
Stop badmind and low nеgative
Make money, tеk care a yuh kids
Fi mek it inna life and burn many bridge
Dem use tuh seh mi naah mek it without dem
A try fight mi wid fire suh mi out dem
Den wi will live and enjoy every moment
So my blessings inna life mi a count dem

[Chorus]
Father can yuh wipe dis pain away
Trying tuh break these heavy chains of man
I know I’m not perfect I might make mistakes
Forgive mi for my sins I’m gonna mek a change
[Verse 1]
Countless battles and war
I’m reminded by di wounds and scars
Mi used tuh lock inna mi room and bawl
But di struggles mek mi tun inna one human wall
Wull heap a troubles and tribulations
But every situation most high ah pon you man call
Mi a beg yuh fi remove all bars
Keep mi glowing like di moon and stars
And wipe these tears
Jah Jah wipe these tears
Used yuh use laughter fi hide these fears
Be mi railing whilst mi climb these stairs
One likkle board house fi 19 years
A dem things deh mek mi grow though
Ghetto youths stir from nuh lose nuh focus
A when yuh know Jah yuh go know love
Him naah guh mek yuh stand-alone like Stone Love
Selassie I

[Chorus]
Father can yuh wipe dis pain away
Trying tuh break these heavy chains of man
I know I’m not perfect I might make mistakes
Forgive mi for my sins I’m gonna mek a change
[Post-Chorus]
Ghetto youths rich wi fi rich
Stop badmind and low negative
Make money, tek care a yuh kids
Fi mek it inna life and burn many bridge
Dem use tuh seh mi naah mek it without dem
A try fight mi wid fire suh mi out dem
Den wi will live and enjoy every moment
So my blessings inna life mi a count dem


[Break]
Yeah eeehi, da da da ta da ra
Wooh da da da ta ta ta ra taaa

[Verse 2]
Nuh emotions wi nuh show love
Cuh wi grow inna biased system
Most a di dawgs weh get throw dung
People set dem dung weh dem grow up wid
Jah Jah guide mi on di road
Please don’t mek mi walk alone
Mankind heart too cold
Comin like seh it a snow

[Repeat Chorus]
Father can yuh wipe dis pain away
Trying tuh break these heavy chains of man
I know I’m not perfect I might make mistakes
Forgive mi for my sins I’m gonna mek a change
