Where I'm From (Intro)

Weeping endures for a night but

Joy is coming in the morning

After darkness we know there will be light, yeah

Mi know wi ago stop the bawling

Been Sleeping but it’s time that we arise, cause

We’ve identified the problems

Now it’s time wi play we part and make things right

Wi know seh if wi seek Jah Him can solve them

Where I\'m from, where I\'m from

The struggles real but wi still stay strong

Where I\'m from, nuh matter the challenges wi face

Jah Jah always give a helping hand

Where I\'m from, wi prove nuff wrong

Wi rise to the occasion so they know we can

This yah place a paradise where I\'m from

Jamaica remember Jah Jah bless this land

Jamaica to mi heart

Bless God fi every nations but yah suh mi born and grow like tree weh plant

If mi left fi couple months still in mi thoughts

Mi Nah lie woulda miss yu from the day when mi depart, yeah hey

Mi learn this thing the Bible taught

That prophets no get honored in them country that’s a fault

And even though mi know some a go pree them songs yah with a grain a salt

Mi confident them express Jah Jah thoughts

Certain things wi never support

But lately a the very same things them wi start promote, eeem eem

How certain things clear from the port

Weh never customary a that customs fi report

Where I\'m from, where I\'m from

The struggles real but wi still stay strong

Where I\'m from, nuh matter the challenges wi face

Jah Jah always give a helping hand

Where I\'m from, wi prove nuff wrong

Wi rise to the occasion so they know we can

This yah place a paradise where I\'m from

Jamaica remember Jah Jah bless this land

Where I\'m from, wi little but wi tallawah

If yu tell wi that wi can\'t wi a guh prove other wise

Cause if you a criticize cause yu look dung pon wi size

Then yu a guh get a sweet surprise

Wi nuh give up weh wi come from

Wi driven by determination

And out of many wi a one

Even the anthem is a prayer in a song, where I\'m from

Wi nuh like fi follow no, wi rather set the trend,

But lately if some nations sneeze wi cough right after them

And furthermore injustice and wickedness find a blend

Now a state of emergency Lord speak a Word again

Where I\'m from, where I\'m from

The struggles real but wi still stay strong

Where I\'m from, nuh matter the challenges wi face

Jah Jah always give a helping hand

Where I\'m from, wi prove nuff wrong

Wi rise to the occasion so they know we can

This yah place a paradise where I\'m from

Jamaica remember Jah Jah bless this land

Where I\'m from
