Intro)
(Heavy kick drums, siren sounds)
Oya!
Dem think say we slow?
Check de gear!
One time!
(Verse 1)
From J-B (Junction) to de city center
Anywhere de money de, me I go enter!
I don do security, I don push wheelbarrow
I don pass through de eye of de needle way narrow.
You see dis motor? No be rent I rent am.
You see dis life? Na me blood I take paint am.
Dem bin de laugh when I de trek na de dust
Now dem de cough because me smoke na must!
(Chorus)
I say I don try, now na me time for shine!
I don komot na back, now I de front na de line.
I don try, I don try, I don try oh!
Look me now, de blessings de overflow.
No level for dem way bin de talk say I small
Now I de stand tall, I no de ever-ever fall!
(Verse 2)
Watch me style, watch me step, watch me dressing
Every struggle way I pass, e turn to blessing.
Dem bin de lock de gate, but I jump de fence
Common sense make me get all dis pounds and pence.
I no de look for trouble, but I no de fear
I don try for many years, now de vision clear.
If you see me de dance, no ask me why
Na because I know how much I don try!
(Bridge)
Hustle hard! (I don try)
Money double! (I don try)
No more sorrow! (I don try)
Better tomorrow! (I don try)
Aie!
(Chorus)
I say I don try, now na me time for shine!
I don komot na back, now I de front na de line.
I don try, I don try, I don try oh!
Look me now, de blessings de overflow.
(Outro)
(Beat gets louder)
Tell dem say we move!
No parking!
I don try... now I de fly!
Salone to de world!
(Sudden stop)
