The song "Think Big" by Natural Black is an anthem about the power of positive thinking and the importance of aiming for higher goals in life. The first part of the song is about not letting worrisome thoughts get in the way of achieving success. The chorus and the two following verses emphasize the importance of thinking big and not settling for less, while also warning against the danger of accepting small goals and mediocre achievements. The lyrics also suggest that success comes not only from hard work and determination but also from relying on JAH JAH as a guide and a shield.
The song's message has resonated with listeners, particularly those who are drawn to Rastafarianism and reggae music. "Think Big" has become a symbol of hope and empowerment for those who feel disenfranchised or marginalized. It also highlights the importance of self-reliance, independence, and determination to achieve success.
