Mi nah guh lie
when di year started mi swear seh
Dis ah guh be ah, "Jordan Year."
You know, 2023, number 23 t-shirt, 6 rings
Nuff championships, the glory nuh!
But ah wah tell yuh seh
Mi swear ah 23 more obstacles mi jump over, 23 times mi bin ah try get ah lay up
but it seemed like mi muscles dem tie up.
6 times mi try di same thing and it nuh work, ask Jah wah fi do? Him seh, guh do di work, no more talk; in this
Walk di walk, pree dis
Love tun mi blind like ah bat
Friends betray too, say what?!
Laugh, "yuh think ah joke?!"
Mi did affi guh live by di words i spoke
Di year started right ah swear, di holy spirit seh, try pree life right this year,
stay from round dey suh
Dem nah like yuh dear
Pree yuh own path,
Doh run, face yuh demons fi sure
Den form wings, and soar
Dweet different from di ones weh walk before...
Try live clean with people
Yuh nah fi dey round certain circle
Mind yuh actions, life izza cycle
Mi learn dat from mi small suh!
Come lemme tell yuh sumn
Love nah cost yuh nutn
Try ease off ah di mutton
Likkle veggie, likkle fruits more while
Guh fi Ah jog, get out, do sumn!
Leggo di screw face sumn
Give yuh face ah rest, smile
Yes nuff good gwan,
Just deya, still holding on
Nah let guh, firm and strong
Wah day, mi see vincy get dark, real real dark too, my sweet little island, ello mek unno gwan suh?!
Leave dem things inna di past nuh!
Dem seh, "Jordan Year!", River Jordan; yeah! Dis ah deep deep water ah swear
Keep my head afloat oh Jah i pray
Affi guh call di saviour near
Call di Isrealites, mek we get outta here
Cross dis ya Jordan
Holy covenant, with you i stand
Lord please guide my way
Hold my hand, i must get to the promise land.
Correct mi along the way
Your will alone, shall come my way
Lead my steps day by day
The ones past and gone
For you i sing this song
"We shall meet, by and by"
Things in di past leave it behind
Truth mi ah talk, way yuh see lie
Open up yuh eye, look deeper; try!
My condolences, hold yuh head up
High, don't let joy slip away
All ah dis pain soon pass, by the way.
Live, and let live; love, forgive, stay on the narrow and strait, ah beg yuh, don't you sway.
