Yeah mon… hope yuh feel di vibe, yuh zee it?
Mi hope yuh love di tune, and yuh day shine bright like noon.
And memba dis, mi bredda, mi sista — life a one big riddim… we all play we part pon di track.
Twist up yuh tongue, twist up yuh fate — but neva twist up yuh heart.
Stay irie, stay true — an’ dance through di madness like mi just do.
One love, from di raggamuffin crew…
Spoken in Patois – Final
Yehhh mon… flip up di script an’ twist up di day,
Even when life start stammah an’ sway.
Clatter an’ chatter, mi tongue might stray,
But mi spirit stay firm like coconut shell.
Life a di game, but mi nuh play fake,
Mi ride di riddim when di whole place shake.
Twist up mi fate but mi never forsake,
Truth in mi chest like a drum when it quake.
So chatter yuh chant, and stagger yuh slang,
Sing wid a swing when di world go bang.
Mi nah go drop, mi just rise an’ hang,
’Cause joy still deh deh—even when tings rang.
