The ceiling too low
Time now fi rise up to the fullness
Can't afford to let somebody come pull this
I couldn't sleep last night toss and turning was fed up
The morning rise thunder storm ina me head up
The same old same a recipe me hafi give up
Changing lane that a the way me have to live up
Now that I'm prepared and ready to rumble
Not another second me a waste nuh grumble
Things in life gees around and if the whole world a stumble
Me still a stand fall and nuh fumble
Now me build a bridge over all
Truths and rights shall surely sustain us and rote
Over wall
Rich and poor unknown and famous
Sometimes me have to wonder
What the hell dem thinking
Preparations must be made before the boat is sinking
Lighthouse up ahead life light is blinking
Water all around but hold your breath
Because there ain't no drinking
It nuh pretty pon the shore we know the truth about it
Disguising the game and so you mute about it
Problem never change until we find the root about it
Try it me friend and see the proof about it
Now me build a bridge over all
Truths and rights shall surely sustain us and rote
Over wall
Rich and poor unknown and famous
Sometimes you can't bother but you got to
Caught up in a things you find out you not to
Nuh make no friend no enemy come flop you
Stoned cold we freeze like a statue
And who nuh try to make a progress try to stop you
The sweetest smiling face a set the trap too
Ina the brightness of the day dem all attack you
And even dirty Babylon a fly the flag too
Now me build a bridge over all
Truths and rights shall surely sustain us and rote
Over wall
Rich and poor unknown and famous
