Lyrics

Mind ova matta, him tek care a everyting proppa
Will power
Strong mind an have ability
And dem cyaan hamper yuh prosperity
Shabba Ranks seh, an a dat di worl a sing
Yuh nuh know seh, dat di yute dem seh
Weh yuh seh?
Tell dem
Will power, strong mind an ability
Dats why dem cyaan stop a yute like me
Will power, strong mind
Wid nuffa militancy
Cater fi life an di check of livity
Certain ting in dis world is impossible to me
Like I float like a boat, I fly, I walk on di sea
But to, defend mi life
Dat is a possibility
An all juvenile, education is di key
Will power, strong mind an ability
Dats why dem cyaan stop a yute like me
Will power, strong mind
Wid nuffa militancy
A dat me waan every juvenile fi carry
Living in di ghetto, life is not easy
Wid Mister Poor an Miss Povaty
Nuh night an day jubi a dead fi hungry
But neva guh pon road an fatigue nuhbady
Mi cud not afford fi lose mi militancy
Is will power, strong mind an ability
Dats why dem cyaan stop a yute like me
Will power, strong mind
Nuffa militancy
An every juvenile, education is di key
Yuh doh respect yuhself, yuh nah guh respect me
An now yuh disrepecting yuh mommy an daddy
Who yute, yuh doh full off, no brilliancy
Nuh militancy, suh yuh cyaan talk to me
Mi nuh buy out, nor sell out
Dem cyaan buy mi fi money
Dem haffi show respect to my, ability
Will power, strong mind an ability
An every ghetto yute, education is di key
Worl a you
Militantly mi a show yuh univershally
Trial is di testing of everyting
But will power, strong mind an ability
Liveligate yuhself to wat yuh doing
An yuh will reach to di top
Oh gosh, tell dem, tell dem, see it yah
Will power, strong mind an ability
Every ghetto yute, dem care fi militancy
Will power, strong mind an ability
Mi waan dem fi know dat education is di key
Now every yute an yute, yuh betta listen up to dis
An follow Shabba Rank pon a positive tip
Some a dem a flop, some a dem a flip
But Shabba Ranking a flick
Inna di music, tell dem it's a bran new trick
Will power, strong mind an ability
Dats why dem cyaan stop a yute like me
Will power, strong mind
Wid nuffa militancy
Cater fi life an nuh check fi livity
Will power, strong mind an ability
An every ghetto yute, education is di key
Certain ting in dis world is impossible to me
Like a float like a butterfly an sting like a bee
But to, defend mi life
Dat is a possibility
Haffi tell every yute dat education is di key
Will power, strong mind an ability
Dats why dem cyaan stop a yute like me
An a nuh eenie, an a nuh meenie
An a nuh miny, an a nuh moe
If yuh have yuh education, mek me see yuh hand flow
If yuh n'ave nuh education, den yuh flop yuh owna show
An if yuh ambitious, up inna di air yuh han fi guh
Will power, strong mind an ability
Dats why dem cyaan stop a yute like me
Will power, strong mind

An get-i', get-i' mi seh dem nuh want-i'
But mi know dat dedication, it is di key
