Lyrics
Taking the time of my life
Now to realize
Who is right from wrong
Dre Island, yeah
Well hey
These streets I used to call home
Feels like a strange place filled with eyes through holes
Be careful who you trust, some heart evil and cold
Nuff burdens we bare fi nuff ungrateful souls
Inform to the cops, they see I tumble and fall
Still the youth dem stand brave, humble and bold
Born as a militant warrior in soul
The fire ready fi blaze now, the lion a go roar
Well then, watch who you turn your back to
'Cause nuff of dem a scheme and a plan fi shot you
The same man weh walk and say that him with you
A talk and a spread propaganda pon the issue
It would hurt your heart to find out a who too
The same man weh pass and tooth you
Or maybe someone inna your crew too
Or the pretty brownin' that you're new to
Time on my own, yeah
Now to realize, yeah
Who is right from wrong
Now I rise, now I rise, yeah
Time on my own, yeah
Now to realize
Who is right from wrong
Now I rise, now I rise
Weight is on my shoulders
I am getting older
Time keep making me stronger
And them people can't making me live much longer
Won't get caught up in them way
'Cause I man a trod it the Binghi way
I know Jah protect me everyday
So pagans dem can stay
Well just like Judas, me dem waan betray
Sit down and wait pon mi number fi play
Pon the cold concrete dem want me lay
While dem a eat dem bread and fish fillet
The same trap weh dem set, a dem same one a lay
A Jah Jah righteous youths dem try slew everyday
I rise to claim mine while dem a fall inna clay
Now protect mi every move, Jah Jah I pray
Time on my own, yeah
Now to realize, yeah
Who is right from wrong
Now I rise, now I rise, yeah
Time on my own, yeah
Now to realize
Who is right, who is wrong
Now I rise, now I rise
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I shall fear no evil
'Cause thou art with I and I
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort I and I
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow I and I all the days of I life
And I will dwell in the house of the
Most High, Emperor Haile Selassie Jah
