Harsh, reality so harsh
Guh fi Mr. Grudge, cause he never pass di torch
Guh fi politics, him give mi pain inna mi heart
Mi nah come fi peace, ah dat mi tell yuh from di start

Oh-ooooh
Jah Warrior give I shelter
Awooo
While you were sleeping in the dark
We were toiling with the torch
Heh
We know the heights we want to reach
Blood, sweat and tears will have to leak
We ah trod it like a souljah
Deh pon patrol
Weight on my shoulda
But wi ah chuck it like a souljah
Hii-yoo-oh
Hii-yoo
Hii-yoo-oh
Hii-yoo
Yo
Souljah pon the street
Them ah patrol di corner
Know seh if you slip
Den you know you’s ah goner
Lyrics dem badda than Tony Montana
Skatta-tatta-tatta when mi come on yah
On yah
On yah
On yah mi born
Ah plant the seeds
So I must reap the corn
Roots and culture mi get from di farm
Heh
Tell mi what a gwan
We ah trod it like a souljah
Deh pon patrol
Weight on my shoulda
But wi ah chuck it like a souljah
Hii-yoo-oh
Hii-yoo
Hii-yoo-oh

Yo what ah gwaan in ah wi music
If wi nuh safe guard it
Then wi ah guh lose it
Dem ah monopolize and abuse it
Treat it like a fruit and then dem juice it
Left wi standing stupid
Duh
No Sah
Wi nah take no more
Foundation
So wi root to the floor
They don’t want to see the Yardie pon tour
So dem nuh book the Yardie till the Yardie tun poor
Stock wi pon the shelf like a store
Tell you seh yuh Reggae not right
It needs more
Now you confused
You feel unsure
Be careful of the pirate pon wi shore
Yo
Dem want fi rob wi music
But I refute it
No longer blind and muted
These youts see their duties
You Mr. Silver Spoon it
Trustfund buffoonery
Don’t you feel the hate
It’s getting hot and humid
While you were sleeping in the dark
We were toiling with the torch
Heh
We know the heights we want to reach
Blood, sweat and tears will have to leak
We ah trod it like a souljah
Deh pon patrol
Weight on my shoulda
But wi ah chuck it like a souljah
Hii-yoo-oh
