Lyrics:

[Intro]
Stand up in a life loyal fi the ones who stand fi yuh
21 gun salute fi every soldier wah die fi yuh
Is a blessing when yo daughter cry fi yuh
Tell some people pray fi dem self
Don't pray fi yuh

[Chorus]
Cause wah pop down, mash up ina life
That dem waan happen
But that cyaa happen
No that naw happen
Yow man a come from nothing to something
Now man a live ina castle
Dem waan coffin, but that naw happen

[Verse 1]
That's why pick up mi blessings an count dem
Jah meck mi high like a mountain
Pure like water from a fountain
Play wid haters like token
Every ghetto youth fi have a bible
Read that when yo feel idle
Beg Jah fi bless up an guide yuh
Take weh the evil ways wah inside yuh

Wake up this morning an, beg Jah protect me from my enemies
Dem nuff like beas
Dem naw go see mi fall
Dem waan mi lock down, by the police
Badmind a the worst disease

[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Once is dem waan coffin
A rotten den man fi rotten rich den
Mi fly hard get a broom fi the witch dem
A walla wist dem, yuh no si a snitch dem
When dem want a thing bout mi rich friend
Man a set a program fi things turn
Dem sit down an dem waan man fi burn
Gully mi born so a nuff things mi learn
Untouchable a man straight like perm

Wake up this morning an, beg Jah protect me from my enemies
Dem nuff like beas
Dem naw go see mi fall
Dem waan mi lock down, by the police
Badmind a the worst disease

[Repeat Chorus 2X]
