I know I can,
come we go cross all bars,
and nothing I can't,
written in mi karma, karma, karma

And mi left a likkle note under Cecilia's door,
and mi used to feel at home inna Stefany's store,
inna little Rosie's eyes mi coulda pick up di core,
when mi was in front of Sofy mi was all insecure...
Memba when Lauper's voice it was all I adored,
memba when dat cd was a thing I borrowed...
Sometime yesterdays dem give hope like tomorrows:
if u memba di good you'll forgive di sorrow.
So behold alla dat memories dem inna session
and behold all of dem with kind of devotion
and behold although dat may bring vexation
'ca now it is time to move on!

I know I can,
come we go cross all bars,
and nothing I can't,
written in mi karma, karma, karma

You had a little car, had a little bar, had a little garb, you was a little star,
clear up your settle, try out your mettle, don't feel no nettle. Just find your way!
Could I mek metaphors like di great Nazim,
could I itemize dem quick like di hummingbird wings,
could I sparkle and gleam like a new morning...
Like a light under skin man it a exocrine
hold back di tears while u chock down a sub,
although dem all a try fe ripple and rob,
deyah white swan when u let your smile come out
A zillion of sparks and of glitters and hey!

I know I can,
come we go cross all bars,
and nothing I can't,
written in mi karma, karma, karma

Mi boil and mi bubble, mi coulda break marble,
so now mi clarify, well, let's tek a while,
some words like coconuts dem twist mi jaws from side to side,
got to soften and lime before dem glide
feeling like mi dreaming like mi steaming so mi go so then:
rain dogs, rain dogs, ra-ra-rain dogs inna mi town,
drag mi inna di dirt and watch mi rise clean like a dawn
come kill mi seed watch mi grow another one,
invoke a tornado and watch how firm mi stand!
'Ca everything, yeh, everything,
bwoy I can do everything,
mi coulda break gravity
and cure without medicines,
own all without havin' it,
live good without needin' it,
sleep well without sleeping pills
and clean up mi city!

I know I can,
come we go cross all bars,
and nothing I can't,
written in mi karma, karma, karma

End.
