When dem want fi stress mi is a spliff mi get
When mi make the money none a dem nuh have a hint a get
Man a suffer long time, man want famous long, long, long before the internet
Woi, when dem want fi stop me, mi say don't try
God inna mi corner and mi blessings dem deh close by
When the enemies dem try approach I
Dem nuh know mi stepping with the Most High

Yeah we put Jah first and second and third
Watch the blessings come forth
Blessings come forth
Yow it is a miracle
Fi mek yuh thing shot
An' nuh end up a' Gun Court
End up a' Gun Court

Ahh-aahh
Growing up on the banks of the Hope
Never give up and wi never lose hope
And wi never sell out and never sell dope
Now ironically everything weh' we say
They say it's dope

Then Sasco, dem used doubt I, in case yuh never know
Now dem affi keep up with the flow
Rum Blood, wha day a London dem know say man a pro
Fifteen thousand roll out fi the show
Unruly step out, clean from head to toe
Woi, Rollie colder than a snow
A nuh just now 'cause we making a lot a dough
Remember man a star from we grow
Gal wah, pullout mi cornrow and play up inna mi fro
Aiming higher 'cause we not going below, no
Not afraid of anyting wah dem ah throw
Mi brother Sasco have a message fi the foe

We put Jah first and second and third
Watch the blessings come forth
Blessings come forth
Yow it is a miracle
Fi mek yuh thing shot
An' nuh end up a' Gun Court
End up a' Gun Court

Ahh-aahh
Growing up on the banks of the Hope
Never give up and wi never lose hope
Never sell out and never sell dope
Now ironically everything weh' we say
They say it's dope

Hwy watch ya
Mi grow a Kintyre pon the river bank
Now we getting money 'til we live a bank
Dropped the Hope River, Popi dropped the Forever
Seems like new year now, we'll have to fid a bigger bank
Yow, dem wanrt fi stop flow just like a river dam
But I'm no river man, so mi nuh give a damn
We prayed for the deliverance
Think we did have ambition
But it seems like Jah Jah have a bigger plan

First and second and third
Watch the blessings come forth
Blessings come forth
Yow it is a miracle
Fi mek yuh thing shot
An' nuh end up a' Gun Court
End up a' Gun Court

Ahh-aahh
Growing up on the banks of the Hope
Never give up and wi never lose hope
And wi never sell out and never sell dope
Now ironically everything weh' we say

And wi never sell out and never sell dope
