lyrics

No clarks, no mesh mariner, no
No diamond sox pon I feet
No sorrel me seh no medina, me just
Sip up a spliff when me touch di street

Come along on this journey, Jah guide me
I am strong, with The Most High beside me
On the path from the wrong to the right way
After the dark is the dawn of a bright day

So let every word that I talk
And let the meditation of my heart
Be accepted by Jah
With love and upliftment

Up, up, up
Yes a so di vibe deh, haffi keep it lively
Up, up, up
So keep your negativity far from di vicinity

Up, up, up
Seh di beast get devour with word, sound and power
Up, up, up
I’n'I a stay upright and bless

Haffi give thanks and praise
Just like ancient of days
Remember The Most High teach we fi kneel down and pray

Haffi give thanks and praise
Fyah fi burn and blaze
Every knee shall bow when we call on Jah name

So me firm inna me stance cah me make a commitment
Forward and forever, yes me keep it consistent
Whatever Jah Jah give me, Iman know it sufficient
So me never gonna stop, me haffi make it the distance

Maybe it’s fate or maybe it’s destiny
Haffi use what The Most High invest in me
All when me struggle and the Devil a testin' me
Di King of Kings still protecting me

That’s why me plant a likkle seed in your heart
And shine a likkle light up in the dark
And unite the people
With love and upliftment

Up, up, up
Yes a so di vibe deh, haffi keep it lively
Up, up, up
So keep your negativity far from di vicinity

Up, up, up
Seh di beast get devour with word, sound and power
Up, up, up
I’n'I a stay upright and bless

Change your attitude
Show some gratitude
Stop from gwaan so rude
Just lighten up your mood

Jah is the master
Keep we from disaster
More flames and fyakah
Burn dem again
Right from the starta
And ever since after
Jah never depart
From my journey my friend
