[Intro: Konshens]
So much sacrifice, let's just do what's right
Think about the future
Let's help save our lives
We're in this together, let us all unite
Together we fight
Let's just live, not die
[Chorus: Teejay]
So, when you feel like giving up, when you feel like there is no where to go
When you feel life is over, when you feel like there is no one to hold
[Post-Chorus: Shenseea & Tarrus Riley]
Like the ashes we rise, like a phoenix we soar
And this is who we are, and we take it to the world
Now is the time, like a star we must shine
Let's take a stand...
And spread love to the world
[Verse 1: Ding Dong & Kemar Highcon]
How me fi love road so much and can't go out deh?
Nothing no bigger than God weh out deh
Together we stand, we fall if only we think 'bout we self like a we alone deh
Something weh me can't see with eye mash up mi meddy
Sittin just a kill the people dem, a mussi Freddy
No waan fi see none of mi family go cemetery
So if a unity the world a say, well then me ready
Thi-this year is like an extradite
Youths dem want a better life
My goals dem fi big like enterprise
Nuff ghetto youths a dead fi hungry
Some of dem 'fraid fi go a dem bed at night
Every night me say a prayer like El Shaddai
Ma...ma...mama hold her head and cry
Whole heap of problems we bear
Still a give thanks, nuff youth nuh have the breath of life
[Chorus: Teejay & Tarrus Riley]
So, when you feel like giving up, when you feel like there is no where to go (Believe, believe, eh eeh)
When you feel life is over, when you feel like there is no one to hold
[Verse 2: Konshens, Kash, Tarrus Riley, & Ding Dong]
Yeah

Man been through nuff things weh me know me never did fi see
And whole heap of thing me never did think me did a go live fi see
Sufferation been apart of we history
So don't bring quit to me, mi dads, don't bring that to me
Actually pressure make diamond, yeah, this a the diamond factory
Man haffi rise no matter what kind crosses happen to we
That's why we so boasty, yeah, a we that naturally

I keep everyone into my prayer
Jah Jah bless, him never lef', let us fight the fire
Though the journey is rough, we've got to be strong

So much sacrifice, got to do what's right
The future, let's save a life
Yeah
This nuh have a thing fi do with the color of we skin
Everybody vulnerable all of we sin

Let's just live not die
[Chorus: Teejay & Tarrus Riley]
So, when you feel like giving up, when you feel like there is no where to go (Believe, believe, eh eeh)
When you feel life is over, when you feel like there is no one to hold
[Post-Chorus: Shenseea & Tarrus Riley]
Like the ashes we rise, like a phoenix we soar
And this is who we are, and we take it to the world
Now is the time, like a star we must shine
Let's take a stand...
