Not like the stereotype cleanliness intriguing you
Give thanks and praises for my life, and for us being here
Children can?t go to school, the system killing us
There?s good in us and recall is what they bringing out
Show the world what we got the struggles continues yo

I don?t think of fire because it?s sunshine for me
Something in the back of my HEAD!!!! Keeps reminding me
Keep on listening hear, when I call
There?s good, and that?s so just be good and stand tall
A lot of people love your wish for me to fall
I?m not scared, I pray to be who had created all
Evils and the demons woo I don?t stop with them
Hey they don?t like me, hey what?s up with them
I just can?t do without Jah love because it lacks the oxygen
I?m doing no fully, I don?t even no par with them
Yes you got to be strong, and behave the best you can
The world is out there conquer your fears, and don?t you wait too long
Yes you got to be strong, and behave the best you can
The world is out there conquer your fears, and don?t you wait too long
