Intro:
  You got to hold your fate now
  Fi reach mount zion gate now
  And you better keep it real no baddy with the fake now
  No time fi stand wait now
  Galong and get things straight now
  Better to be earl righteous people than to be late now
  
  Things in life a tek time
  Can't get lost from you a follow the signs
  Fire pon dem durgs and dem guns and dem convicious mind
  And I and I step pon crime
  Right ya now me bun badman and badmind
  Nuff a dem can't even walk a straight line
  Your sister need love and your borther need love
  And it took like you left that behind
  Words and sound combine
  Hafi give thanks fi the power of devine
  Lost in search of the big goldmine
  And ina darkness blind man e lead blind
  With no limitaion I man feel fine
  Living on the edge cause Jah love it is mine
  And as they blasphem and plat and scheme
  I man still see Jah wonders and signs
  
  Chorus:
  Rise up with the day
  I do things in my own way
  And me nuh ina your hear say
  Cause dis ya speappard nuh go astray
  Now me gone pon the highway
  Cause man a clear like x-ray
  And me nuh ina your leh leh
  And joy when dis ya tune a play
  
  Can't lek things what you nuh know
  Got to find out first which way to go
  And you can't exercize no form of genocide
  Ina the last lane that you a go
  If a Jah Jah man you want overthrow
  Ina siknking ship you a row
  Cause he will cut you down and he will mash you down
  Like the tide that ebb and flow
  Weed and tears must grow
  Until the time of harvest we know
  Many a call but the chosen a few
  And the almighty god a say so
  Man hafi go meditate and tek it slow
  Riding high when you should deh pon the low
  And you can't flop fast if you stick to your task
  And the flowers ina your garden will grow
  
  Chorus
  
  Stop play the fool and attend your classes
  Nothing you a see you must want glasses
  Sit down and complain and then you perplex fi flex
  So your tribulation never passes
  We living ina wolrd full jackasses
  Every day dem get up and a ball bout dem crosses
  And dem standing at the gate and the whole a dem a wait
  But the fate is seems like dem last it
  
  Intro again
  Chorus
