Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He was a bad bwoy
Rasta, a mad bwoy
Born on an island
Four other siblings
Part of a Windrush
Move to a England
He never knew sterling
Trouble from early
Grown in a London
One bigger brother
One brother younger
Two other sisters
[PreChorus]
Just how the story there begins
Not how the story always ends
He grew and he grew and he grew
And found his way up
He walked through hell, but he never gave up
[Chorus]
They call him a good man
They call him a good man
They call him a good man
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Years of mourning
Losing a mother
Hate of a father
Found by a calling
Heart got a healing
Found by a lover
She was a lady
Caught in a moment
Lost to another
He was a good man
Found by a woman
Meant for each other
[PreChorus]
Just how the story there begins
Not how the story always ends
He grew and he grew and he grew
And found his way up
He walked through hell, but he never gave up
[Chorus]
They call him a good man
They call him a good man
They call him a good man
Yeah
[PreChorus]
In a world where war begins
And where some money buys you friends
Every now and every then
Through the good and bad, life makes a boy a good man
[Chorus]
They call him a good man
They call him a good man
They call him a good man
[PreChorus]
Just how the story there begins
Not how the story always ends
He grew and he grew and he grew and found his way up
He walked through hell, but he never gave up
[Chorus]
They call him a good man
They call him a good man
They call him a good man
They call him a good man
