Banks of the Hope (Remix)

When dem want fi stress me, is a spliff me get
When me make money, none a dem nuh have a hint a get
Man a suffer long time
Man want famous long, long, long before the internet
Woie, when dem want fi stop me, me say don't try (Huh, huh)
God inna my corner and my blessings dem deh close by (Huh)
When the enemies dem try approach I (Huh, huh)
Dem nuh know me stepping with the Most High

Yeah, we put Jah first and second and third
Watch we blessings come forth (woie)
Blessings come forth
Yow, it is a miracle
Fi make your thing shot
And nuh end up at Gun Court
End up at Gun Court
Aah, huh
Growing up on the banks of the Hope
(Anyhow), never give up and we never lose hope
And we never sell out and never sell dope
Now, ironically everything weh we say
They say it's dope

Then Sasco, dem used doubt I, in case you never know (woie)
Now, dem affi keep up with the flow (woie, yoie)
Rum Blood, what day a London dem know say man a pro
Fifteen thousand roll out fi the show (trouble deh deh)
Unruly step out, clean from head to toe
Woie, Rolly colder than a snow
Mhm, a nuh just now, 'cause we making a lot of dough
Remember man a star from we grow (woie, yoie)
Gyal want pull out my cornrow and play up inna my afro
Aiming higher 'cause we're not going below
Nuh fraid fi anthing weh dem a throw
My brother Sasco have a message fi the foe

We put Jah first and second and third
Watch we blessings come forth
Blessings come forth
Yow, it is a miracle
Fi make your thing shot
And nuh end up at Gun Court
End up at Gun Court
Aah, huh
Growing up on the banks of the Hope

Dropped the Hope River, Popy dropped the Forever
Seems like new year now, we'll have to find a bigger bank ('traight)
Yow, dem want fi stop flow just like a river dam
But I'm no river man, so me nuh give a damn
We prayed for the deliverance
Think we did have ambition
But it seems like Jah Jah have a bigger plan (woie)

First and second and third
Watch we blessings come forth
Blessings come forth
Woie, yoie, it is a miracle
Fi make your thing shot
And nuh end up at Gun Court
