Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see this life I living, I look pon it like, "Oh my"
Time fly, yow ten year, drop Arguments in '09
Fly my family to the Grammy, oh, god, them 'member me trying
That's a part of me I cannot delete, keep that shit in my mind
I was sitting outside the studio waiting just to get voiced
Them would send me home, come back every day
Never even think twice
That was me in 2008, you see
Nobody never did a fly the gate for me
Nobody never did a try make for me
So me take time and me guide it carefully
These the things I been thinking of
Please nuh bring no damn feelings up
Love my dad, I don't see him enough
We had reasonings while steaming up
Whether famine or feast the same
See the sun, you gon' see the rain
Throughout all of this, we remain
[Verse 2]
I hold my order, give my praises
Oh, Jah, deliver me through these days
Sometimes really hard to go and face this
Oh, this life can truly be amazing, amazing
[Verse 3]
Hold my order, give my praises
Oh, Jah, deliver me through these days
Sometimes really hard to go and face this
Oh, this life can truly be amazing, amazing
[Verse 4]
Ay, check the vibes we a bring, Sev and Lila, dem a sing
No intruder to the thing, Lion of Judah pon the ring
King David with a sling, a no ding, a stone a fling
Song a sing so phone a ring (Them gone back pon tour again?)
How much money them a spend? Them and Shenseea are a friend
Man deya a try ascend, all knowledge get comprehend
I've been feeling like Romeich, making five or six a week
Earning even when I sleep, in the hills, I'm out of reach
Choosing how I spend my time, it's completely by design
They don't even see the trying, all them see is dollar sign
All I make is sacrifice, forget the prize, you pay the price
When I look into my life
[Verse 5]
Hold my order, give my praises
Oh, Jah, deliver me through these days
Sometimes really hard to go and face this
Oh, this life can truly be amazing, amazing
[Verse 6]
Hold my order, give my praises
Oh, Jah, deliver me through these days
Sometimes really hard to go and face this
Oh, this life can truly be amazing, amazing
[Verse 7]
Oh, Jah, deliver me
Jah, deliver me, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
Deliver me, Jah, deliver me
Jah, deliver me
Jah, deliver me
