How the place full up a badmind
And some people weh so evilous
Nuff a dem wan test
But dem cant
Test weh... God bless
Me know say them heartless
but me gwan press regardless
On and on we go
On and on we go... caah me know
So from you mind conceive
Then You can achieve it
Nuh mek them stop you
With them bad energy
Them nuh know love a only
Evil them a pree
Jah make me fly away ...fly
Like a million sparrows
Take me away from the horrors... you know
Jah make me fly away... fly
I can't take this no more
This is not what I hope for... you know
Me say it rough out deh
Tough out deh
Pagon them nuff out
Nuff a them a fight hard
Them nuh want me buss out deh
Me nuh listen to weh dutty people chat bout me
Nah mek them get me down
With what them filthy mouth say
Wah that dem dash out deh
Watch weh dem a splash out deh
Nah get caught up ina them booby trap out deh
Father God watch me step when me touch out deh
Put me ina pit but me climb out deh

Piece a the pie yes a my own that
Move forward and me nah turn back
A God a guide me suh me nah turn back
Cause the same mouth weh sah rea
A the same mouth say boo
And the same one seh them
A the same one say you
A suh me come down to one conclusion
Can't trust nothing weh a human
Cause this world maybe cold and so lonely
But jah jah i call on you only
Only you alone control me
Ina this a world full a phonies (rept)
