Depend On You (Dons)

(album: Of Dons & Divas - 2020)

[Vybz Kartel:]
Yow, no matter wha'
No matter weh yuh feel yuh ah guh through
Weh yuh feel like yuh wan' stop
Don't stop! Fight it
Yuh haffi strong
It's ah heartless world
Yuh haffi 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 mi strong inna mi mind, anuh just inna mi voice
Every night mi 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
Cya coward, haffi stubborn
Ghetto youth nav money but we pay fi learn
Poor people a suffer anywhere mi turn
Poverty and disease, we feel it first
Look how much gun deh round
Target di ghetto, everyday man spread out
Think to mi 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

[Sikka Rymes:]
No one to blame when you don't fall
But when yuh up tall, dem stick around everyday like a poster
Only when tings nice, dem only come around
Yuh see [?] money like di [?] pon di [?]
Mi never watch yours, why yuh watching mines?
When mackerel ah run, everybody hard fi find
Di same house seh boo, ah seh rae now
Through dem see di ox-tail, dem ah come with smile
Mi nuh get trick by fake love
Cah success bring hate and grudge
So mi watch e face, watch e moves
All dem deh yah forward just fi di food
So nuh give up now, or when yuh mek it
Ah mark set go, ah suh Usain did set it
Now ah my time fi make history and collect it
And dead before di [?]

[Vybz Kartel:]
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
No one else gonna dweet for you
