Though We Rise
Na na na na na na na naaa
Now the whole team rejoicing
Family a smile so you know seh a just pure niceness
Mama seh don’t dim your lights king
Though we rise
Don’t pass yuh place and think this was overnight
Hours we a put in this comes as no surprise
It took some lessons now me see it with mi owna eyes
Knew it was only time
Mi have some story fi tell
Whole heap a tears wah mi shed
Whole heap a pains weh mi felt
Hard drive mash up and we affi voice over again
Over and over and over and over again
Reach too far fimme stop now
Any obstacle come up yo mi skank round
So di Kingman govern di earth
Never ever shirk the work
Though we rise
Don’t pass yuh place and think this was overnight
Hours we a put in this comes as no surprise
It took some lessons now me see it with mi owna eyes
Knew it was only time
Mek mi talk to di dem nuh man
Ras-I di amount a sleepless nights weh mi go through just fi go through
Just fi reach to di place weh mi deh
And di ‘mount a people weh never see mi vision
And try fi sabotage mi mission before mi reach nuh weh
A dem same one, ready now fi praise man
Gwan like dem did deh deh from day one
Weh dem strength did deh when mi need it ye
Now di schweppz turn a big deal
Big big changes now the dream are all real
Mi put mama pan a big hill a look over di city
Look how it pretty woii
Now I feel a sense of victory
Hungry days, all of them are history
Hard work erases mystery
If you can relate, sing the punchline with me
Though we rise
Don’t pass yuh place and think this was overnight
Hours we a put in this comes as no surprise
It took some lessons now me see it with mi owna eyes
Knew it was only time
Only time my friend
Hard work conquers all
Keep moving
Forward moving
Don’t you ever stall
Now the whole team rejoicing
Family a smile so you know seh a just pure niceness
Mama seh don’t dim your lights king
