This life so full of light, make sure you use it fi glow
Every mistake that you make, you can use 'em to grow
When you slip up and trip, you don't get stuck down low
Stumble off di beat, jump back inna di flow
You can huff and puff, and blow and blow
Whether you're my friend or whether you're my foe
Take what you see 'cause I'ma always have more
And before you get dat, see me go haffi let go

To get just what I want, and yo, me nah go feel no fright
Lef' all di haters hate and all di backbiters bite
'Cause ain't nothin' and nobody go come and take me light
Me nah go feel no jealousy, me nah go feel no spite
Just get up inna di riddim and me rock up on di mic
Put it in every flow and every lyric that me write
Me nah go ever fear it, me go hold on to it tight
