There's a lot to be grateful for
First of all, mi giving thanks to the highest creator
That’s important in my estimation
Haffi call pon Haile Selassie my inspiration
An fi all a mi anscestors before mi pour di libation
Sitting on the altar mi ask fi nuh altercation
Wid mi family and friends and closest of all relations
Nuff a bad mind an inna mi face, a salutation
If a up to dem a woulda salivation
But mi give thanks seh man a Jamaican
Mi nah look nuh validation
From nuh other nation
Weh nuh overstand the connotation
Dem inna mi statements
Take a look on the population
Anything we touch a world domination
So nuhboda wait pon nobody
Mi totally
A milk the game like Oately
Dats Oprah Winfrey dough fa mi
But how can it be so? When so many been doubting me
Dem a cast down the cloud pon mi
But still I see the sunshine coming out for me
Grateful

None a dem bwoy deh cyan chat to me
Nuffi a dem song outa road dem nuh hot to me
Lyrics mi chopping it up like Mahgony
Mi do it properly
Dem jus' a copy mi sloppily
Look how mi happily travelling
Jus like a Javelin
Nuff a dem bobbling
Shaky Warrior, wobbling
But dem nuh bother wit'
Foundation weh we standing in
Solid Like Rockstone
Yo man a Dodd like Coxsone
Lyrics and Melodies lock down
Like curfew when di sun drop down
Wi nuh pop down
Look pon who deh pon di top now
An a get di green jus like Pop chow
An mi lyrics dem neva yet slack now
But yuh disrespect, an' get box down
10 years, still in mi prime
Chatting dem multi syllable rhymes
Gong Zilla, cosign an now mi lawyer charge fi billable time
Look pon mi team
Day one bredda dem still by my side
Living the dream
Onlyl problem Blood and sweat and tears
Wi been thru di mud
and we still looking clean
We a do dis from we inna we teens
Neva have nuttin but still we believe
Thanks fi blessing dem weh we receive
Mean what I said and I said what I mean
An now di money jus pilling een
