Yo, no matter wah
No matter weh you feel you ah go through
When you feel like you wan' stop
Don't stop, fight it
Y'affi strong
Is a heartless world
Y'affi tough mi people

Don't let go when di stress come
Hold on strong, don't let go
Know that you can depend on you
No one else gonna dweet for you
Don't let go when di stress come
Hold on strong, don't let go
Know that you can depend on you
No one else gonna dweet for you

When you down, everybody rejoice
But me strong inna mi mind, ah nuh just inna mi voice
Every night me kill mi old self
Every morning rise again fresh
Yesterday's pain is today's hope
Yesterday's hurt is today's growth
Tomorrow isn't promised
Take di sunshine wid di rain cloud
Never give up from you have life
Cyaan' coward, haffi stubborn
Ghetto yute n'ave money but we pay fi learn
Poor people ah suffer anywhere me turn
Poverty and disease, we feel it first
Look how much gun deh 'round
Target di ghetto, everyday man spread out
Think to me self, "Government dweet fi spite"
Traumatize young black life, but

Don't let go when di stress come
Hold on strong, don't let go
Know that you can depend on you
No one else gonna dweet for you
Don't let go when di stress come
Hold on strong, don't let go
Know that you can depend on you
No one else gonna dweet for you

No one to blame when you don't fall
But when you up, dawg
dem stick around everyday like a poster
Only when tings nice, dem only come around
Used collect money like di 'ductor pon di poster
Me never watch yours, why you watching mines?
When mackerel ah run, everybody hard fi find
Di same house weh "boo", ah say "rae" now
Through dem see di oxtail, dem ah come with smile
Me nuh get trick by fake love
Cah success bring hate and grudge
So me watch e face, watch e moves
All dem deh 'ya forward just fi di food
So nuh give up now an' when you mek it
On mark set go, ah so Usain did set it
Now ah my time fi make history and collect it
Ah death before dishonor me say

Don't let go when di stress come
Hold on strong, don't let go
Know that you can depend on you
No one else gonna dweet for you
Don't let go when di stress come
Hold on strong, don't let go
Know that you can depend on you
No one else gonna dweet for you

Don't let go when di stress come
Hold on strong, don't let go
Know that you can depend on you
No one else gonna dweet for you
Don't let go when di stress come
Hold on strong, don't let go
Know that you can depend on you
