Eh
Mavado (oh)
Singing for my mama (ooh)
Get 'em (ooh)
Ay
I'm singing for the streets
(Ay ay woah)
Matis'
Dem check we out (wooah)
Yeah, ay
Gully, the world is mine (ha)
Just gotta go ahead and take it (check it)
Got to be on time (aha)
So they could watch us celebrate it (mmh)
Yes we're coming from far, we coulda never lose, nana
(Ooh, oh)
I'm from the heart of the Ghetto, man I revolute, yeah, yeah
I just need an instrumental so my ways can let go
Surfin' through these skies 'til my thoughts start to settle (ahaa)
Sever all these ties, I got more steam than the kettle
So many airplane rides, I get the bump it's not an issue (ahaa)
Time to guess the status, my mind is heavy metal (journey woah)
You know how hard I try, I'm a true soul rebel (now I'm gone)
To keep myself tight was like hell, I had to let go (ay)
I said; "Hello, hell no, I got to go"
I'm coming from afar
I'm such a special star (special star)
All that mi coulda lose (wooah)
When Jerusalem no move (Jerusalem no)
I'm coming from afar
(I'm coming from afar)
I'm such a special star
(I'm such a special star)
So all mi coulda lose (all mi a lose)
When Jerusalem no move
(When Jerusalem no)
Some of them wah love you when you're down (ah)
Hate you when you're up (up)
Stay on the top, mi nuh go make them beat me up (ah)
It was; "I come from far and gun solve mi puzzle"
Born fi be the millionaire, mi fuckin' man wasn't
We are the ones, the chosen, keep the people movin'
Times inspiration is low, we got to lift 'em
We are the sacrifice, music is the weapon
Praise through the atmosphere, that's the blessing
Rain fall down and we don't need no ceiling
Adjust my eyes, because seein' in believing
I gotta have faith 'cause the system keeps collapsing
Inner demons, they won't stop clapping
Diamond in the rough, I stay strong and go tough
The sirens keep me bound, but I call your bluff
A long time searching, long time they been lurking
Creeps and vampires won't rest until I'm hurting
Flirting with death, you know the dark keep building (ah-uh)
Lifting up the children and I rid them from the villain
Jah, Jah
I'm coming from afar
I'm such a special star
Then all mi coulda lose
When Jerusalem no move
Ay
I'm coming from afar
I'm like a... ey
Yeah, yeah
Yeah
Jah, Jah
Oooh
Jah, Jah (aay)
Bi di ba ba ay
Nana, aha
I'm seeing stars again, so go tell your friend
Feelings apprehend, send sounds with intention
The goal to let you in, and we bargain again
Bouncing through these days, and ya'll know I can't pretend
Connect
