A di feel love fo dis place

A di breathe peace fo dis place

A di risk ma life fo dis place

A di break ma pack fo fix dis place

This place is all we know

Its all we dream and where our parent sow

Where our ancestors bled but didn't bow

Beaten, humiliated and their backs used like a cow

But the purged on in sorrow, water low

Their blood watered the land so do not expect us to give us now

The cried, the laugh, the sang and dance

To the larsh sounds of their fellow brothers

But looked up to Baba for up so us he raise

To take by force, like the days of John de baptists

So no di wonder

Or try fo put assunder

For we fight each other

For love and stamina

Preparing ourselves to fight the intruder

For our land must prosper

Our children must grow

Our people must show

That the sweat of their brow

Is prove of power

Uphore our languages, we will

Uphore our diversity, we will

Roar, we will

If you try fo touch wa culture

We are a team

Operating from a different realm

You no go wise, so you think we skim

Oh no we are driven by a dream

To build this city

To stand like a city on hill

Like ancient babylon from scratch

Thatch by thatch

Block by block

So let the hate die

See!!! we fly

No think say we di dry

Make ya tear e dry

Make ya sky e blue

Look to the heavens and soar

So look to the sky

Till those who look you as fry

Watch and wonder as you di fly

I come like the son of man

Not to pull your down

But to shine on so you can see my light and shine your light

So now, I dream,

Dream until the night becomes morning light

Dream, dream until the place on which I stand becomes

too hot and tight and push me forth to where my feet are fit

For though my future is scary, I won't run back to the past, just

because its familiar

This tragedy is my great purifier

I am not the victim

I am the victor

I am not in danger

I am the danger

I am not fighting to win

I won to fight

I am not fighting for victory

I have been victorious to fight

I am not afraid of the storm

I am the storm

I am not saying I am because I will

I am saying, I am and I will

I am not saying you can't stop me

I am saying, stop me if you can

Its our mission

Driven by a vision from the most high

So a don take the decision fo no shy fo say

Every victor has a story

Every warior fought a war

Some people get beaten by the battle

I get better in this battle
