Success Story
Nesbeth Lyrics

It may only be another minute
Time is precious and success can come in a moment's notice.

Born and mi grow ina place weh me never get no respect... no...
I grew up in a place where I received no respect and lacked proper education and job opportunities.

Never get no good education can't get no big cheque... no...
My lack of education and opportunities prevented me from achieving financial success.

From me born an me grow, everybody weh me know ina distress... yea...
Everyone I grew up with faced hardships and struggles in life.

And it so easy for a youth get a big teck. Or addicted turn a victim.
It's easy for a young person to fall into a life of crime or addiction and become a victim of their circumstances.

And a nough man fold it out
Many men gave up on their dreams and goals.

cause them couldn't hold it out
They couldn't handle the hardships and challenges that come with pursuing success.

and a nuff man sold it out cause them couldn't go without
Many also compromised their values and morals in pursuit of success.

and in pursuit of riches
Some people prioritize financial gain over everything else in life.

nuff man tek the girly route
Some people take shortcuts or rely on others instead of putting in the hard work to achieve success.

but that a fi them thing
That may be how they choose to live their life, but it's not my story.

thats is not what my story bout
My success story is not about compromising my values or taking shortcuts.

this a fi those who persevere
My story is for those who persevere through challenges and setbacks.

and who see through the tears
For those who have faced hardships and come out stronger on the other side.

and in the grand scheme of every things them still deh here
Despite everything, I am still here and have achieved success.

and all though wi nuh millionaire
Although I may not be a millionaire, I feel like one because of the success I've achieved.

feel like a millionaire
Feeling wealthy and successful despite not having a lot of money.

we still a celebrate and put wi hand inna di air
We celebrate our success and achievements, putting our hands up in the air in joy.

Oh yeah, the journey where we step in life yeah
The journey of life is a long and winding road.

Make it past twenty five yeah
Celebrating making it past a certain age and reaching a milestone in life.

So me haffi celebrate mi life yeah
I celebrate the life I've been given, despite its challenges.

Me naffi have a mill in a mi pocket
I don't need to be a millionaire to be successful and happy.

Cause all me really need a life and a mi bone
All I need is a fulfilling life and stability.

And nuff man me see get quirk it out and crack it
I've seen many people fall apart and fail due to their pursuit of success.

Nuff a dem does end up with a bullet in a dome
Some end up losing their lives due to their actions and lifestyle.

That's why me stay easy and breezy...no drama
I choose to live a drama-free life to avoid unnecessary complications.

Anything that goes around comes around calmer
I believe in karma and that what goes around comes around, so I strive to live a positive life.

Everybody have them time, your own is just around the corner
Everyone has their own time to shine and success will come with patience and perseverance.

From ayu nah gon put up ya hand and seh I am a success story yeah
Don't be afraid to celebrate your own success story.
