Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Bidda bang, bang, bang, bang
[Verse 1]
All who nuh wan' hear mi talk can't stop mi career
Voice it, make di world hear
Though you can try kill a man, you can't kill it, my dear
So says di great Che Guevar'
Inna my town weh mi grow, you can't have no fear
Coward nuh live 'round here
Haffi stand firm fi survive and defend your share
Di burden, di brave must bear
[Bridge]
Suh mi go suh, tings and times will tell
Suh yuh gotta learn your lessons well
Some man live inna mansion, dem ah get pension
While some livin' in hell
[PreChorus]
¿De dónde vengo yo?
¿De dónde vengo yo? Oh-oh
¿De dónde vengo yo? Oh-oh
¿De dónde vengo yo? Oh-oh, aye
[Chorus]
Blood, sweat, and tears
We don't got no fear
Got to be prepared
For this land, I will forever care
[Verse 2]
And that's why me stay so, huh
Cah we escape from a place
Where it seems like poverty embrace yuh
You a try win inna di race when yuh look
Is a police a chase yuh (Woo, woo)
And a bare gunshot dem ah spread
Don't think dem ah miss yuh
Nah court case yuh
Dem waste yuh, huh (Yo, yo, yo, yo)
[Verse 3]
These are just the facts of life (Hey)
But each man tries to maximize (Hey)
And meanwhile some will fantasize
Of who they can't be, they patronize
[PreChorus]
¿De dónde vengo yo?
¿De dónde vengo yo? Oh-oh
¿De dónde vengo yo? Oh-oh
¿De dónde vengo yo? Oh-oh, aye
[Chorus]
Blood, sweat, and tears (Aye)
We don't got no fear
Got to be prepared
For this land, I will forever care
[Verse 4]
Dime, ¿de qué vale
El que vive en una mansión
Si no tienes una buena intención en tu corazón?
Que el dinero no vale nada
Y la vida en un ratico se acaba
Algunos lo tienen todo
Y no tienen panas
Se tiran la vida por la ventana
No importa el Deli, el Lambo o el Rolls-Royce
Si no tienes con quien salir el fin de semana
Mejor dicho, sí, un par de amigos falsos sobran por ahí
Que dicen que a ti te quieren por lo que tienes
A ningún humano eso le conviene, ¿no?
[PreChorus]
¿De dónde vengo yo? (My people, my people)
¿De dónde vengo yo? Oh-oh (Mi gente, mi gente)
¿De dónde vengo yo? Oh-oh (My people, my people, yeah)
¿De dónde vengo yo? Oh-oh, aye (Mi gente, mi gente)
[Chorus]
Blood, sweat, and tears (Aye)
We don't got no fear
Got to be prepared
For this land, I will forever care
