Chance To Grow

Sing out yea, beckon yea, beckon dem Reemah, let's beckon dem

Every situation is a chance to grow,

And every sunrise another chance to sow

With our hands in soil, we making furrow,

Examine what you know

Who master Ghana? That we assimilating the assimilator

Foregoing our tongues & our beautiful dress

Just know their democracy is the greener grass test

So Elder, Sister, yo younger Brother,

Watch me scars so no more will suffer

I pray, I beg, my word consider,

Sometime ago I met a bridge-builder who say

Chorus

How can we forward in life,

If dem don't want the children start use their mind

Give up dem heritage me tell you just for the dime,

When in reality dem Willie Lynching all the while

Mistakes of my parents dem cannot be mine,

For a part of tradition dem a stand up in the line

How can their hearts be content when fallacies they oblige,

A just the blind a lead the blind

Chorus

The more you live you learn, make choices that's your own

Threatening to break dem ties and I'm still not concern

For the lies I can't live anymore a page got to turn,

Got to wisen up and make that move

Nothing in their plan for us so what is the use,

Ignorance is degradation, do not refuse

Knowledge that is power seek only the truth

Chorus

So we got to look & live & come together,

With the courage to call our follies our errors

Our lives like buzzards circling in the air,

Circling death because Jah know we afraid yea

To examine our ways & our righteous thinking,

Not because it's a Black fact you can say it's the right ting

So when you speak your truth make sure you seek it from the source,

From not a man on this Earth did life spring-forth me say

Chorus

Hey, beckon dem, sing out & beckon dem,

Let your voice beckon dem, Reemah!

Wake up and live, we've got to wake up & live (2x)

Got to be wise, children open your eyes, living in crucial times

With the righteous man dem, with the righteous man dem

Stand up firm in a the Most High, just stand firm in a the Most High

And they could never stop we, dem could a never stop we

Said dem can't stop we, yea...yea
