Above All Odds

UNKNOWN COMPOSER, ROY AUGUSTUS THOMPSON

Look how much good things we do bout yah it nuh count
Do good yuh surprise me, if yuh do bad you wont
Capitalize and rise, believe inna yourself all when them have doubt

They don't wanna see you, rise above all odds
They don't wanna see you, make a positive trod
But dem cyah surprise me, no way, no them cyah surprise we.
So mek dem gwan criticize we.

How we surprise brother, that is a miracle,
Easy myself cause me nah too hassle, if me tell yuh from deh yah pon the battlefield a tackle, Mi yuh would a tell me me say me old like bottle
Righteous unno hear when me deh yah, A nuh now a long time me a burn fire
Me a lock show from mi likkle and a grow, all when me name no appear pon the flyer

Mi nuh blow whistle cause mi nuh umpire, nah leave mi yard and mi don't say mi prayer. My career can't rub out like tire. So who did say me nah guh make it dem a liar. Good thing me protected by the Messiah, want get we out so them a conspire.
We a inspire dem a drive inspire, have me own studio mi nah guh retire.

They don't wanna see you, rise above all odds
They don't wanna see you, make a positive trod
But dem cyah surprise me, no way, no them cyah surprise we.
So mek dem gwan criticize we.

Anything yuh see me wid a hard me earn it, the more yuh live yuh learn
So me deh pon me journey. Black crime me no like it a that burn, man no happy fi him bredda a that concern me. Nowadays everybody just wanna trend and a worry bout Benz and no care bout friends, dem never good fi dem fi use cause dem really loose. Dem badmind you through have a ends.

They don't wanna see you, rise above all odds
They don't wanna see you, make a positive trod
But dem cyah surprise me, no way, no them cyah surprise we.
So mek dem gwan criticize we.

They don't wanna see you,
They don't wanna see you,
But dem no them cyah surprise we.
So mek dem gwan criticize we.
