Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When mi make the money none a dem nuh have a hint a get
Man a suffer long time, man want famous long, long, long before the internet
Woi, when dem want fi stop me, mi say don't try
God inna mi corner and mi blessings dem deh close by
When the enemies dem try approach I
Dem nuh know mi stepping with the Most High
Watch the blessings come forth
Blessings come forth
Yow it is a miracle
Fi mek yuh thing shot
An' nuh end up a' Gun Court
End up a' Gun Court
Ahh-aahh
Growing up on the banks of the Hope
Never give up and wi never lose hope
And wi never sell out and never sell dope
Now ironically everything weh' we say
They say it's dope
Then Sasco, dem used doubt I, in case yuh never know
Now dem affi keep up with the flow
Rum Blood, wha day a London dem know say man a pro
Fifteen thousand roll out fi the show
Unruly step out, clean from head to toe
Woi, Rollie colder than a snow
A nuh just now 'cause we making a lot a dough
Remember man a star from we grow
Gal wah, pullout mi cornrow and play up inna mi fro
Aiming higher 'cause we not going below, no
Not afraid of anyting wah dem ah throw
Mi brother Sasco have a message fi the foe
We put Jah first and second and third
Watch the blessings come forth
Blessings come forth
Yow it is a miracle
Fi mek yuh thing shot
An' nuh end up a' Gun Court
End up a' Gun Court
Ahh-aahh
Growing up on the banks of the Hope
Never give up and wi never lose hope
Never sell out and never sell dope
Now ironically everything weh' we say

Now we getting money 'til we live a bank
Dropped the Hope River, Popi dropped the Forever
Seems like new year now, we'll have to fid a bigger bank
Yow, dem wanrt fi stop flow just like a river dam
But I'm no river man, so mi nuh give a damn
We prayed for the deliverance

Watch the blessings come forth
Blessings come forth
Yow it is a miracle
Fi mek yuh thing shot
An' nuh end up a' Gun Court

The song "Banks of the Hope" by Agent Sasco talks about his journey towards success, the challenges he faced, and the importance of putting God first. He begins by saying that whenever someone tries to stress him, he turns to smoking weed. Though he has made money, people around him are not aware of it, and he has been struggling for a long time to become famous, even before the internet. Despite all the efforts to stop him, Sasco puts his trust in God, who remains in his corner.
The chorus highlights the fact that putting God first is key, and blessings will come forth no matter what. Sasco gives an example of his own success, which is a miracle for him since he managed to make a name for himself without getting entangled in issues that would send him to Gun Court. The bridge then takes us back to his childhood, growing up on the banks of the Hope, a river in Kingston, Jamaica. Sasco and his community never gave up, and they never sold out or resorted to selling drugs, and now, everything they say or do is considered dope.
The song represents Sasco's resilience in the face of adversity- he did not rely on selling drugs or resorting to violence to make a success story. It also highlights the importance of putting God first in our lives, and blessings will follow.
