Blessed is the man that endure temptation
For when he's try he shall receive the crown of like
Which the lord has promise to dem that love him
[Chorus:]
He shall cover me
With his feathers hand
His truth shall be his thy shield buckle at

Tell mi father why dem hate mi
Caw mi no do dem nothing Jah
Trust in the lord wid all yo heart
Lead not in your own understanding
Tell mi father why dem hate mi

But with the help of Jah Jah there's no stopping yuh no
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]

So mi tell the clans fi tell wanada
Tell shower man fi tell the smuggler

Ghetto youth never give up
Don't give it up
Money fi a meck, mama house fi build up
Babylon a go give wi a fight
But with the help of Jah Jah there's no stopping yuh no
[Chorus]
