Can tek di pressa, nah tun to crime
Mama raise yuh good so beg yuh put dung di nine

Teachin's yuh treasa, can leave behind
Must climb di ladda one step at a time
Mind ova matta, greatness defined
Must defend yuh honor if a guy cross di line

As hard as it seems when it is all said and done
A new day shall dawn from di rise from di sun
