Yeah you know seh no matter wha gwaan
Yo just hold firm you know

Wake up in di morning
Say a lickle thing to God
Him bless me, there's food inna mi cupboard
Remembering di days when time went hard
Mi belly hungry and mi couldn't find no regular job
Feel like mi can't move, mi trap in a cage
Still searching for di words to put 'pon di page
Still dreaming 'bout di day where mi deh 'pon di stage
But nutten nuh come, that's when mi bredda seh

You haffi keep movin'
Sail on, sail on, yeah I
Nuh matter what's goin' on
You know seh you haffi trod on, yeah I
You haffi keep movin'
Sail on, sail on, sail on, yeah I
It's just another broken-hearted tune
Fi all di lonely world, when mi seh

Emily she could a tell nuf sad story
Har man abuse har and go beat her up badly
Just a hold the rod stick rudely
Har hope fadin' quick of startin' a family
One day she decide she can't take it no more
She ball out, cry, go dung 'pon di floor
That's when she take the razor
Till her phone a ring
Somebody on the other line a tell har seh

You haffi keep movin'
Sail on, be strong, be strong, yeah I
So no matter what's goin' on
You know seh you haffi trod on, yeah I
