Rise Up

Jay Avid
Dem seh wi nah guh mek it (No way)

Nuff time mi sidung and mi loss inna mi dreams
A think bout good life mi nu know how it feel
Nuff time mi try but dem seh mi nah guh reach
Cause ghetto youth neva mek it outa di streets (Noo)
Nuh listen to dem when dem seh yuh cya dweet
Ghetto youths rise up the sky is di limit (Rise up)
If you have a dream den don't sidung pon it
Gather up the courage and make it reality

Jah know mi neva ask fi baan inna dis (No sah)
A suffa too long jah know mi tiad a dis
Nuff hungry nights belly a roll mi feel sick (Tiad a dis)
Naw lie mi affi come outa dis (Yea aye)
Si miself a make a major difference inna life (Yea)
Help di youths dem give dem a reason to smile
