[Intro]
Hey watch ya now….Maad supm
Hey follow mi now, oh yea
Hey cuh yah now
I man a say…
[Chorus]
Well I say give thanks fi obstacles inna wi way
Because the hurdles teach wi fi jump
And hear wha nuh…
If everything did smooth everyday
We wouldn't know we could overcome
‘Cause if don't k** me, I know it's gonna build me
Gonna make me stronger
See if you don't try nutten then you never will fail
But you surely won't get anything done
So hear mi nuh…
Just do your thing and learn from your mistakes
Experience teaches wisdom
And yuh see if it don't k** we, I know it's gonna build we
Gonna make me stronger
[Verse 2]
Yuh see the hard work and the struggle and hustle, Uh huh!
Build wi backbone and wi brain cell and wi muscle, Uh huh!
So we're fighting with wi brain and wi knuckle, Uh huh!
So wi nah go wilt under the pressure, nah go buckle
Get fi understand she disappointment a nuh nutten
‘cause when one door lock a bout a million a open
But if a twelve we work for, that means wi a go want a dozen
We only we own, nuh want no trouble
But anyway…
[Chorus]
Give thanks fi obstacles inna wi way
Because the hurdles teach wi fi jump
And hear wha nuh…
If everything did smooth everyday
We wouldn't know we could overcome
‘Cause if don't k** me, I know it's gonna build me
Gonna make me stronger…
Then mi say darkness make we appreciate light
And the certainty of d**h, make wi appreciate life
It's time to take the stage and overcome the stage fright
Just spread your wings and take flight
‘Cause if it don't k** we, I surely know it's gonna build we
Gonna make me stronger
[Verse 2]
Look how much a baby drop when dem a learn fi walk
Look how much gibberish yuh chat when yuh a learn fi talk
A lot of people love fi chat and love fi pa** remarks
And if a dem inna the test dem couldn't pa** the mark
Don't forget where you a come from but don't stuck in the past
Because a nuff mountain to climb, whole heap a river to cross
Dem a ball say time hard but we nuh grow so soft
So you see anytime we drop we just get up an dust off
And say…
[Chorus]
Well I say give thanks fi obstacles inna wi way
Because the hurdles teach wi fi jump
And hear wha nuh…
If everything did smooth everyday
We wouldn't know we could overcome
‘Cause if don't k** me, I know it's gonna build me
Gonna make me stronger
See if you don't try nutten then you never will fail
But you surely won't get anything done
So hear mi nuh…
Just do your thing and learn from your mistakes
Experience teaches wisdom
And yuh see if it don't k** we, I know it's gonna build we
Gonna make me stronger
