[Verse 1: Jimmy Cliff & (Bonanza)
Existing are those people with the negative minds (Mhm)
And when you're moving forward, they wanna
Pull you behind (No negativity, uh-huh)
They just can't stop this force, can't stop superior force
Don't let them hold you (Live it), they can't control you
[Chorus: Jimmy Cliff & (Bonanza)
The world is yours (Live it)
Rule and control (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
The world is yours (Oh, oh, oh)
Redeem your soul
(Step in and Bonanza, J.C., this is what you say)

I got the world in the palm of my hand, this is my plan
I'ma take it from the top, on solid ground, I stand
Negative is relative to enhance a positive
I'ma stay focused on what I must achieve
I gotta believe that there is hope for me
In this world of chaotic times, who will set us free?
I'm learning to shine, taking control of mine
And bring it to the people, some good advice, what?
[Verse 3: Jimmy Cliff & (Bonanza)
Existing are those people with the positive
Mind (Live it up, uh-huh, yeah, come on)
Forever moving forward, controlling the line
Run it, uh-huh, control, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
No one can hold us down (No one)
They just can't keep us down (No, no, no)
Don't let them hold you, they can't control you (No, no, no)
The world is moving (Live it up) and the world is at our feet
There is no stopping (No stopping) so hear while I repeat
[Chorus: Jimmy Cliff & (Bonanza)
The world is yours
Rule and control (Run control, y'all, it's your life)
The world is yours (If it don't make
You happy, you have to deal with it)
Redeem your soul (Yeah)

Uh, uh, yeah, yeah
A feel me hour, me got the power
Rule and control, redeem me soul
Liberate me self from a negative mind
A with the positive mind, a the superior mind
Rule me destiny to eternity
Rule equality is my reality
Nine, nine-nine-nine, it is my time
Nine, nine-nine-nine, it is my time
