Yeah, you got to get going, no time to be sittin' down
Some people not knowing life is a cycle
You gotta know how to get around, whoo ha

Yes you got to be strong and be all the best you can
The world is out there conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long and don't you wait too long

Hi, how ya doin'? Long time I haven't seen you
Hope you're behaving yourself now like a good behaving citizen
Nothing comes easy, you gotta work what I'm telling you
Hope and pray for the best 'cause I believe in you

Not like the stereotypes cleanliness intriguing you
Give thanks and praise for my life and for us being here
Children can't go to school the system killing us
There's good in us and we always wanna be bringin' out
(It)

Show the world what we got the struggle continues, yow
Check the conditions in which we're living, yow
Ain't no one come giving, yow, got to work to be a winner
Our children going to bed without having their dinner

Yes you got to be strong and be all the best you can
The world is out there conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long and don't you wait too long

People all filled with expectations that's fine with me
Opportunity comes but once so it's time for me
I don't think of failure because the sun shines for me
Something in the back of my head keeps reminding me

Give a listening, yuh hear? When I call
There's good and bad so just be good and stand tall
A lot of people out there wish for me to fall
I'm not scared, I pray to He who have created us all

Evils and the demons, whoo, I don't stuck with them
Hey they don't like me, hey, what's up with them?
I just can't do without Jah love because it's like the oxygen
I'm no in no folly, I don't inna no crap with them

Yes you got to be strong and be all the best you can
The world is out there conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long and don't you wait too long

Hi, how ya doin'? Long time I haven't seen you
Hope you're behaving yourself now like a good behaving citizen
Nothing comes easy, you gotta work what I'm telling you
Hope and pray for the best 'cause I believe in you

Not like the stereotypes cleanliness intriguing you
Give thanks and praise for my life and for us being here
Children can't go to school the system killing us
There's good in us and we always wanna be bringin' out
(It)

Show the world what we got the struggle continues, yow
Check the conditions in which we're living, yow
Ain't no one come giving, yow, got to work to be a winner
Our children going to bed without having their dinner
