Sizzla Lyrics - Be Strong

Intro:

(chanting)

Yeah, you got to get going

no time to be sittin down

some people not knowing life is a cycle

Chorus

Yes you got to be strong

and be all the best you can

the world is out there conquer your fears

and don't you wait too long (x2)

Verse 1

Hi! How ya doin?

Long time I haven't seen you

hope your're behaving yourself now

like a good behaving citizen

nothing comes easy

you gotta work what I'm telling you

hope and pray for the best

cause I believe in you

not like the stereotypes

cleanliness intriguing you

give thanks and praise for  my life

and for us being here

children can't go to school the system killing us

there's good in us

and we always wanna be bringin (it) out

show the world what we got

the struggle continues, yow

check the conditions in which we're living, yow

ain't no one come giving, yow

got to work to be a winner

our children going to bed

without having their dinner

(Chorus)

Verse 2

People all filled with expecations

that's fine with me

opportunity comes but once

so its time for me

I don't think of failure because the sun shines for me

something in the back of my head keeps reminding me

give a listening, yuh hear?

When I call

there's good and bad

so just be good and stand tall

a lot of people out there wish for me to fall

I'm not scared,

I pray to He who have created us all

evils and the demons, whoo

I don't stuck with them

hey they don't like me

hey, what's up with them?

I just can't do without Jah love because it's like the oxygen

I'm no in no folly

I don't inna no crap with them

(Chorus)
