LYRICS
Verse 1
Heya X3
Dem no go understand
What you face
On your own
When you run your race
No one can see…
No one can feel…
But you keep it cool
Cos you trying to keep it real
You don dey ground too long
No be today
On your grind so long
But it’s not a waste
Soon dem go see
Your action speak
This is just a test
Soon it will be complete
Chorus
Cos if you follow wetin dem talk you no go make am at all
And if you follow wetin dem do you no go make am at all
When you see that mountain you gonna climb it (you’re gonna climb) X2
You’re gonna climb it ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh ooh
(Lira)
The sun has come
Won’t wait too long
Can you feel it
Deep in your soul
Cos I can feel it
Nothing can kill it
In the battle bold
I hope you’ve understood
Repeat Chorus X2
Bridge
When you heard the sound
Make you sing along
Ignite the fire
Let it burn through your bones
Let it burn
Repeat Chorus
