[Intro]

(Inhale)

Sssshhh…
Curley made this…

Okey…
Listen…

[Chorus]

Mi come from di gutter but mi head still high
Nuff bwoy switch side, mi still ask why
Whole heap a scars but mi nah cry
Cah a real badman survive or die

Mi come from di gutter but mi head still high
Nuff bwoy switch side, mi still ask why
Whole heap a scars but mi nah cry
Cah a real badman survive or die

[Verse 1]

Dem never know di pain weh mi carry inside
Smile pon mi face but a war mi a fight
Dark cloud follow mi day and mi night
Still mi stand firm and mi hold on tight

One time mi did lost, couldn’t find mi road
Whole world pon mi back like a heavy load
Every likkle scar tell a story untold
Now mi heart turn iron and mi spirit turn gold

Nuff fake friend vanish when di money nah deh
Soon as di sun shine dem appear and stare
Mi learn long time life nah really play fair
So mi trust very few and mi stay aware

[Build Up]

Every cut every bruise every lesson remain
Every loss every tear every ounce a pain
Dem thought mi woulda break from di pressure and strain
Now mi rise from di fire and mi call out mi name

[Chorus]

Mi come from di gutter but mi head still high
Nuff bwoy switch side, mi still ask why
Whole heap a scars but mi nah cry
Cah a real badman survive or die

Mi come from di gutter but mi head still high
Nuff bwoy switch side, mi still ask why
Whole heap a scars but mi nah cry
Cah a real badman survive or die

[Verse 2]

Manchester city cold wind pon mi skin
Still mi deh yah and mi refuse fi give in
Life throw punches but mi still waan win
Too much darkness fi mek light grow dim

Dem never deh deh when di hard times reach
Now dem waan wisdom every time mi speak
Mi see mountain move and mi see strong weak
Dat a why mi guard up every day of di week

Mi still burn herb and mi reason deep
Count every blessing that mi manage fi keep
Cah nuff warrior fall and dem never wake sleep
So mi move wid respect every promise mi keep

[Outro]

Sssshhh…

Curley made this…

Real survivor…
Still deh yah…
Still breathing…
Still standing…
