them no go understand
what you face on your own
when you run your race
no one can see
no one can feel
but you keep it cool
cos you tryna keep it real
on your grind so long, but it's not a waste
soon them go see, your actions speak
this is just a test, soon it will be complete
Cos if you follow wetin dem talk you no go make am at all
and if you follow wetin dem do you no go make am at all
when you see that mountain, you're gonna climb it
you're gonna climb 2x
you're gonna climb eh oh oh oh
The sun has come, don't wait too long
can you feel it, deep in your soul
cos I can feel it, nothing can kill
in the battlefold, I hope you've understood
cos if you follow wetin dem talk you no go make am at all
and if you follow wetin dem do you no go make am at all
when you see the mountain, you're gonna climb it
you're gonna climb
when you hear the sound, make you sing along
ignite the fire wey dey burn through your bones
let it burnnnnn
cos if you follow wetin dem talk you no go make am at all
and if you follow wetin dem do you no go make am at all (oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
when you see that mountain youre gonna climb it
you're gonna climb 4x
sing oh oh oh oh oh
(oh oh oh oh oh)
sing oh oh oh oh oh
(oh oh!)
