Life has been a struggle (yea)
So much heart aches
Tears are my language
The stains are on my face
(stains are on my face)
If I had the chance
To live my life again (live)
I know things would be different
From the lessons ive learned
Why would you try to hold me (why)
Telling the world my story (oh why)
The people have gone astray (why)
And no one to lead the way (why)
Some try hard to hold me (why)
They just cant keep me down (why)
Why would you take my glory (why)
When you know you weren't around
So I
Even when the deh enemies close by
Me have de energy dem don't like
Never quit once
Me fight de old fight
Tell de seh me
Roll high (yea)
Legends live forever
Yea we dont die (live)
Couldn't see me dreams
And just scroll by
Life sweet enuh
Oh my
Why would you try to hold me (why)
Telling the world my story (oh why)
The people have gone astray (why)
And no one to lead the way (why)
Some try hard to hold me (why)
They just cant keep me down (why)
Why would you take my glory (oh why)
When you know you weren't around
It's not the good you do each day
But the content of your heart
That's gonna make a difference
Of the man you really are
So
Why would you try to hold me (why)
Telling the world my story (oh why)
The people have gone astray (why)
And no one to lead the way (why)
Some try hard to hold me (why)
They just cant keep me down (why)
Why would you take my glory (oh why)
When you know you weren't around
Why
