Promise
Don't give up my son
Gwan hold the faith
Cah remember, Bob Marley, them never have it easy
And him hold the faith, and dem never give up
Mi see mi and mi mother a roll
Buy har anything when we step in na store
When you see har she just a glisten from har head to har toe
She and har son a do road, Yow a that a di goal
Nah wait till you grow old fi tek care a yo
Or a go down in nah hole fi full you up pay Gold
So mi mek you a PROMISE, while me pursuing The Dream
No matter weh happen, mi nah figet yo mi Queen
