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
