(Cold mineral, cold pure water)

Whoa, whoa, whoa

I might be rough around the edges, maybe yes
I keep it nappy and I do what make me happy
And nobody can deny me that I'm blessed
I might be rough around the edges, maybe yes
I keep it nappy and I do what make me happy
And nobody can deny me that I'm blessed

Self preservation, self elevation
These kind of things they deserve celebration
No hesitation, no reservation
Go for the big leagues, no relegation
Let's celebrate life
Kick back and take five
And give thanks to the source that create life
To see a sun set or see a sun rise
And see my son born with the same eyes
To see my son smile, brighten every grey sky
He's growing so fast, that's why everyday
I give it one hundred, nuh stop at ninety
Praise the Almighty, the Father anoint me

Yo, yo, truly
Make I tell you say my life is like a movie
And if I tell you all these things I don see truly
Say my eyes don see, before my life come be
Say many try to fool me
But I dey pray for my enemies, and truly
And I dey pray for my kids, that's my blessings
Pray for the friends I lost
I pray you never see no loss (yeah)
