Mi barefoot pon di muddy lane

Sun a blaze, but mi cyaan complain

Cardboard crown pon top mi head

Bug a bite mi, but mi nah drop dead

Mi walk wid breeze, mi heart dem light

But every step, a skeeta bite

Mi swat an’ scratch, mi laugh same time

Freedom sweet, even when it sting mi spine

Mi free, mi light, mi fly like breeze

Mi soul deh dance beneath di trees

Mi love di earth, mi love di sun

But bug dem come—mi still cyaan run

Mi free, mi bold, mi cyaan pretend

Mi gyal wid riddim from di wind

Mi sing mi song fi bird an’ bee

Mi cyaan stop now — dis life fi mi

Cricket a chant, lizard dash

Mi strum mi chord, mi beat dem clash

Ant deh pon mi knee like soldier troop

But mi nah stop—mi stay inna di loop

Mi giggle when mi see di worm

Mi sidestep when mi feel di squirm

Nature ruff but it treat mi kind

Even when mi scream out loud sometime

Mi seh "Lawd! Wah dat pon mi back?"

“Jus' a beetle, gyal, don’t lose track”

Mi keep mi cool, mi breathe in deep

Even when bug mek mi leff mi seat

Mi heart a blaze, mi soul a fire

Mi spirit rise, mi climb up higher

Mi cyaa escape dem creepin’ tings

But dem part a life an’ di song mi sing

Mi free, mi light, mi fly like breeze

Mi soul deh dance beneath di trees

Mi love di earth, mi love di sun

But bug dem come—mi still cyaan run

Mi free, mi bold, mi cyaan pretend

Mi gyal wid riddim from di wind

Mi sing mi song fi bird an’ bee

Mi cyaan stop now — dis life fi mi

So buzz, buzz, bug — gwaan do yuh ting

Mi haffi sing, mi haffi swing

Cardboard box, mi shield, mi crown

Mi gyal from bush, but mi run di town

Mi free, mi live, mi still cyaan hide

From nature wild pon every side

Mi still dey yah, mi nah complain

Mi gyal wid song, mi own di rain
