Mi get a fresh from the stream in the valley
Haffi walk go to school couple mile mi a chad hi
Mi grow wid mi granny as a source fi mi happy
And the chandelier dem glitter
But da road yah did rugged and steep
Grandma seh mi nuh fi turn thief
Rise, stand up pon you African feat and shine
A nuh where you come from, a where you a go
Just let you family proud and take the lead child
Thousand mile begin with one step is the adage
Failure is for week, experience teach knowledge
Even if you never get to begin college
And the journey for success don't fear the challenge
Back in a the days mi life did sour sibble orange
Money was the vegetable and wi need the cabbage
Hungry wonderlism through poverty do the damage
Mi go through all a dem days deh like a Daniel wid the savage beast
Yet still wi never rob and thief
Turn to crack and stree like the trash and heap dem
We are the leaders on the world
Build in golden treasure .
Regardless where I am found
Please don′t ever judge me
Remember I was stolen from the motherland
Through doubts and tear in the test of time
Greatness is the power inside
Greatness is the power inside
Through doubts and tear in the test of time
Greatness is the power inside
