(Verse 2)
Youth in a the street dem need a role-model
suh dem can see how fi reach the pinnacle
life it hard and a nough obstacle
suh you haffi check peep because the road sipple
build wi fi build up wi kyle till hi triple
i must insist every mukkle meck a mickle
be kind to the blind, and be kind to the cripple
every man was once a baby pon nipple
chill wi fi chill and stop floss sometime
spend dollars and coins pon education
Read you fi read, you fi read, you fi read
that Marcus Garvey tell the nation
tek out the bye, bye, the meditation
nough people under sufferation
nough people under frustration
but wi haffi build back caw better must come
(Repeat Chorus)

Up deh, up deh, up deh, up deh, up deh

Up deh, up deh, up deh, up deh, up deh

Up deh, up deh, up deh, up deh, up deh
