First of all, me giving thanks to the Highest Creator
That's important in my estimation
Haffi call pon Haile Selassie, my inspiration
And fi all of my ancestors, before me pour the libation
Sitting on the altar, me ask fi nuh altercation
With my family and friends and closest of all relations
Nuff a badmind and inna my face a salutation
If a up to dem a woulda salivation

But me give thanks seh man a Jamaican
Me nuh look no validation
From no other nation
Weh nuh overstand the connotation
Dem inna my statements
Take a look on the population
Anything we touch, a world domination

So, nuh bother wait pon nobody
Me totally a milk the game like Oatley
That Oprah Winfrey dough for me
But how can it be so when so many been doubting me?
Dem a cast down the cloud pon me
But still, I see the sunshine coming out for me

None a dem bwoy deh can chat to me
Nuff a dem song outta road dem nuh hot to me
Lyrics me chopping it up like Mahogany
Me do it properly dem just a copy me sloppily
Look how me happily travelling
Just like a Javelin nuff a dem bobbling
Shaky Warrior wobbling
But dem nuh bother the foundation weh we standing in

Solid like Rockstone
Yow, man a Dodd like Coxsone
Lyrics and melodies lock down
Like curfew when the sun drop down
We nuh pop down
Look pon who deh pon the top now
And a get the green just like Pop Chow
And my lyrics dem never yet slack now
But you disrespect and get box down

Ten years, still in my prime
Chatting dem multi-syllable rhymes
Gong Zilla co-sign and now me lawyer charge fi billable time
Look pon my team
Day one brother dem still by my side, living the dream
Whole heap and blood and sweat and tears
We been through the mud and we still looking clean
We a do this from we inna we teens
Never have nothing but still we believe

Thanks fi blessings dem weh we receive
Mean what I said and I said what I mean
And now the money just pilling in
I'm looking around, I like the scene
Black excellence from left to right
I'm giving thanks for life
You zeen?

A lot to be grateful
A lot to be grateful for
Lots to be grateful
A lot to be grateful
A lot to be grateful for, yeah

Oh, a lot to be, a lot to be
