All I wanna be

All I wanna be (aye aye)

All I wanna be (aye)

(Grand grand)

All I wanna be is righteous

But see my family deh they might buss

So watch you speech when you sight us

Nuh because you see we a rise up

Sometimes I feel like I might just

Lef' my enemies inna my dust

Who dem a pree them a size up

Nah nah

We naa beg nobody nothing yes a we set the trend

Naa follow back a nobody fi make a cent

Two furlong and man a open up the lengths

Five album ahit and me ready again

And me no haffi pretend

A new wave coming better run and tell you friend

And me a go set it fi them, blam

Attitude reflect leadership

And gratitude is the fuel what you need for it

So reach for it

All I wanna be is righteous

But see my family deh they might buss

So watch you speech when you sight us

Just because you see we a rise up

Sometimes I feel like I might just

Lef' my enemies inna my dust

Who dem a pree them a size up (aye lila)

You nuh see me and my people happy

Haffi drop a classic today

And me grow pon classic, so classic me say

Black woman and child

Sizzla did have every black woman a smile

Even white girls I know

A no till shiloh

Me start get high though

Soon asbuju did talk it me spark it up

Them time me khaki up

Go record store

Find money fi fork it up and cough it up damn

All I wanna be is righteous

But see my family deh they might buss

So watch you speech when you sight us

Nuh becauseyou see we a rise up

Sometimes I feel like a might just

Lef' my enemies inna my dust

Who dem a pree them a size up (dem a pree)

You nuh see me and my people happy

My mind tell me go then tell me don't do it

Even these righteous minds they go through it

Thoughts turns to words then actions so fluid

Wake up and notice all that I've ruined

And all that I'm doing is trying to be a better me

But these evils try fi take a set on me

And this world can make you so cold

Can't dig fi dirt and want fi find gold

Oh no!

All I wanna be is righteous

But see my family deh they might buss

So watch you speech when you sight us

Just because you see we a rise up

Sometimes I feel like a might just (yeah man)

Lef' my enemiesinna my dust

Who dem a pree dem a size up (who)

You nuh see me and my people happy

All I wanna be

All I wanna be (yeah man)

All I wanna be (it's just all I wanna be)

All I wanna be (aye aye)

All I wanna be (all I wanna be)

All I wanna be (all I wanna be)

All I wanna be (aye)

Aye gang gang (yeah man)

All I wanna to be is righteous

In a world that's so so crazy (how you mean, how you mean)

Yeh

One must try, you know

Yeah man

My family is love and always love
