Champion

Life has its way
Of turning the grey skies blue
But sometimes the skies
Come tumbling down on you

But of this one thing I'm sure
Jah Jah never give I more than what I can bear
Sometimes the road get dark
And it feels like no one cares
Friends and family they are gone
But I will overcome
'Cause I am a champion, mi bredda
I'm a champion, mi friend

Mama dry yuh tears
And move yuh hand from yuh head
Never wear a frown because Jah Jah no dead
Trust in every word weh Selassie seh
Leaning on Marcus philosophy, 'cause
'Cause sometimes the skies
Comes tumbling down on you

But of this one thing I'm sure
Jah Jah never give I more than what I can bear
Sometimes the road get dark
And it feels like no one cares
Friends and family they are gone
But I will overcome
'Cause I am a champion, mi bredda
I'm a champion, mi friend

So all when hungry and edge I teeth
I and I a stand up 'pon mi own two feet
Mi naw mek no trouble come get rid a me
I a fight it like a champion, Muhammed Ali
But that nuh mean I-man a go do no folly
Rastaman a nuh Satan likkle puppet dolly
Push on 'pon the straight and narrow like a trolley
A goodness and mercy a follow back a me

Jah Jah never give I more than what I can bear
Sometimes the road get dark, oh Lord, oh, oh
Friends and family they are gone
But I will overcome
I am a champion, champion, champion, mi friend

Jah Jah never give I, give I, give I
TO all my people out deh
Gwaan hold the faith
Nuh listen what di pagans say
What ol' Satan say
Gwaan hold the faith, gwaan hold the faith

Jah Jah never give I more than what I can bear
Sometimes the road get dark
And it feels like no one cares
Friends and family they are gone
But I will overcome
'Cause I am a champion, mi bredda
I'm a champion, a champion, mi friend
