The Best I Can Be

Woo-ooh-oh-oh
Doing my thing, do my best
Keep it real and keep it strong

I try to be the best that I can be
No need to force it
I try to understand the best I can
No need to force it

In the beginning, there was fire on the mountain
Fire caught the chair and the fire start something
Start to thinking 'bout the way some people feeling
Way some people feel about the way someone is stealing, yeah
In the middle of the-, something, something
Pictures on my mind about the industry is growing

How some people fasting and how some all the people slowing
How some people flowing
Like one day
I been dey chop some panla before the nigga come
He come dey start to halla, make una see me see wahala
I say na wetin I go do to stop this palaver?
If I slap am now, dem go say I dey kolo too
But if I leave am now, dem go say I dey fear, hey

So, I start to search for the answer
Whether I get the power to face this kasala, chai
Because of the repercussion
Make I no do something wey go make me end up for station
You know this we nation
Na so dem kpai Dele Giwa, and we still dey get inflation

Oh, watta man, see situation
I had to- for me to get this inspiration
With some dogo to suppress my depression
Tilé by my side to ease off my tension
Back to the bone of contention
I had to put the nagging down
To respect my position, I say, I say

I try to be the best that I can be
No need to force it
I try to understand the best I can (yeah)
No need to force it

My old friends said I never get to kick it with
Claimed since the money came, I've been acting different
It's not like I'm dissing them
It's just that where you ain't talking 'bout money
It's kinda hard to keep listening
Be in the club throwing money like paper planes
So much money, you will drown if I make it rain

I went from drinking pure water, now ace of spades
So, how the hell will they expect me to stay the same?
Since the paper came, I made in and out the stores a lot
I'm getting cocky with it too
I like to floss a lot
The white diamond in my hair, more in my watch

When the money talks, all focus stops
How it's doing me, like masturbation
So, I can't be bothered by this fact they are saying
The attitude is just the way that I act
And so, I guess, I'm everything they say that I am (that I am)

I try to be the best that I can be
No need to force it
I try to understand the best I can
No need to force it

Like to walking, talkie like a radio
See my life is like a video
Rough and tough like a Rodeo
Don't let no bagga tell you different story o

See, because you see me 'pon your television
Or because you hear me for your radio station
No mean say make I start to malfunction, oh-oh-oh

Oh, I keep doing my thing, doing my best
Keeping it real and keeping it strong
For all my people and my dawgs
Keeping it wild

Making it real like it's real Black sound
RockSteady dey here, is a bad man ting
You know, how we do it
When we come inna the dance-floor
It's a real rude bwoy
Selecta singing on the scene, eh!

Keeping doing my thing, yea
Keeping, keeping it on, oh
Keep on, keeping it strong, yea
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Keep it, keeping it strong, oh
Keep on, keeping it on, yea
Keep on rocking this sing
Woah-woah-woa-woo-woo
Woah-woah-woa-woo-woo

I try to be the best that I can be
No need to force it
I try to understand the best I can
No need to force it
