Don't be a victim, 
of the system, 
just keep your head high, 
I hope that you're listenin', 
give Jah the praises, 
no matter what the phase is, 
every night and every day, yeah! 
Ohh be true to yourself... 
True to yourself... 
In that serious time you have to face the consequence... 
Ohh be honest to yourself...
