Lyrics Overwhelming Hope - Anthem Greatness

Some people still don't understand the power of hope
Hope is why the Christians go to church and
Give their last dime
Hope is why they have your number
But still call mine
Conscious

Life may be hard on my journey
Still I didn't do it for the wealth
Know within my heart that I'm worthy
Never cease to believe in myself
And everything in my past that have hurt me
Are the reasons that give me the strength
Have a goal like the flag of my country
Cause Jah Jah told me to sing this anthem

Brother I do it for you
I know I cannot see your pain by looking at you
You may not haven't eat a solid meet from two weeks ago
And in the ghetto there's no love
No Cupid arrow

Now you're listening; search the kitchen
Me say fi empty the fridge yaa man
You weren't born to be negative or normal
Medz this ya messenger immortal
Only youths weh kemetic a real black man
Yes! Tell them it informal
Let your lifetime memories be royal
Mankind dash Weh the roots of the truth
To the fruits Weh have benefit him loyal
Woah

Once we find the inner strength we'll cope
One of my favorite quotes is
"Once there's life; there is hope."
White man a run the businesses
Chinese a run technology
All black man a run a him mouth (conscious)

Yow, and that's why all of them fight you
Cause you have a talent inside you
And before you realize that you are a god
You a joke and a follow them bible
From Sav to Morant Bay, Lyssons
Make we rise and break this cycle
Jean Marc say send all of them truth
To Glendevon youths Weh a claat them rifle
Desroy say fi ring the alarm
Too much youths pon corner with weed inna palm
And all if life sweet cause you rich
Me know seh yuh see it
It no east at all
All when a Louis V me have on
Me no frighten fi hype
Me a do it fi a cause
So me no see the orange inna the market
And me no see the green the lawn

My sister I do it for you
Spending your last and no know
Wa fi do tomorrow
You can beg Tom, but him have supm fi push inna you
No drop your standard even though you live in sorrow
Me say fi hold on do no leguh
Pick up yourself from the gutters of the ghetto
Me know you tired of the butter pon the bread
And nuff who make it big still no deh pon yuh level
Dress like a queen me say cover up your legs
Make money quick but know what kinda measure
You a take
Pleasure you a get from sex ago end up in a wreck
Your brain is the asset that you have
Me hear say you smart
So why you never stay in a class?
Your man ago left when him buck up inna somebody with a sexier ass
Lady no bawl
Stand up reach for the stars
Within you is a great reservoir of excellence
The fact that you black is evidence
That your greatness surpass all precedence
CIA want your head them tell me then
But I'm not afraid: Eminem
Giving mental slaves independence
When the people with melanin see them strength
Yuh ago beg to be allowed to be near them

I do it for you
I know I cannot see your pain by looking at you
You may not haven't eat a solid meet from two weeks ago
And in the ghetto there's no love
No Cupid arrow

Now you're listening; search the kitchen
Me say fi empty the fridge yaa man
You weren't born to be negative or normal

Empty the fridge yaa man
You weren't born to be negative or normal

Empty the fridge yaa man
You weren't born to be negative or normal

And me a say to the people them from
This island
We call Jamrock
Look within thyself and find that strength to go on
There is hope (remember who you are)
Trust me there is hope
Remember who you are
