PROSPER DUB
Rise Above: A Anthem of Resilience and Prosperity
Lyrics
Di youths dem stocking up di paper
Young people are accumulating wealth
Babylon run in and try to be a viper
Babylon (authority) tries to act deceptively
So we tell dem ease off
Resistance against oppressive forces
Good songs we squeeze off
Expressing positive vibes through music
Di youths dem affi rise, dem affi prosper
Youth must rise and prosper
They make it so hard for us, we remain conscious
Facing challenges but staying aware
They make it so hard for us, we a still focus
Despite difficulties, maintaining focus
I say they make it so hard for us
Highlighting the tough conditions
We travel Babylon by bus
Traveling through Babylon's challenges
They make it so hard for us
Persistence despite adversities
Still overcoming is a must
Overcoming obstacles is essential
Di youths dem stocking up di paper
Young people accumulating wealth (repeated)
Babylon run in and try to be a viper
Babylon attempting to deceive (repeated)
So we tell dem ease off
Resisting oppressive forces (repeated)
Good songs we squeeze off
Positive expression through music (repeated)
Di youths dem affi rise, dem affi prosper
Youth must rise and prosper (repeated)
No, me nuh like hungry face
Disliking poverty and struggle
Nine year old’s nine pon waist
Children suffering from poverty
No me nuh like it, no me nuh like it
Expressing dislike for hardship
Greatness me a embrace
Embracing greatness within
Don't run away from yourself
Encouraging self-acceptance
Endure cause you have the strength
Enduring challenges with inner strength
Burn disappointment, meet your anointment
Overcoming disappointments through perseverance
Forward step, get it straight
Moving forward with determination
Di youths dem stocking up di paper
Young people accumulating wealth (repeated)
Babylon run in and try to be a viper
Babylon attempting to deceive (repeated)
So we tell dem ease off
Resisting oppressive forces (repeated)
Good songs we squeeze off
Positive expression through music (repeated)
Di youths dem affi rize, dem affi prosper
Youth must rise and prosper (repeated)
Same ting a yaad gwaan abroad
Similar challenges faced at home and abroad
Stick to di original, nuh bother wid di fraud
Advising to stick to authenticity and avoid fraud
Life can be easy, some a try fi mek it hard
Life can be easy, but some make it difficult
You heart, mind, soul right now you affi guard
Emphasizing the need to protect one's core
Me rather play fool and mek dem say me soft
Preferring to be underestimated than exploited
We ago pick di lock or we ago kick it off
Determined to break free from constraints
Special livication to di ones weh have it hard
Dedication to those facing hardships
Survival is must, I say we have to trod on
Survival is imperative, must continue forward
Di youths dem stocking up di paper
Young people accumulating wealth (repeated)
Babylon run in and try to be a viper
Babylon attempting to deceive (repeated)
So we tell dem ease off
Resisting oppressive forces (repeated)
Good songs we squeeze off
Positive expression through music (repeated)
Di youths dem affi rise, dem affi prosper
Youth must rise and prosper (repeated)
