Compositor: Richie Campbell

Lose my voice, oh God

My dreams turned inna real life
Only God knows I much I pray
Only he knows how much I cry
See clouds turn into blue skies
I know that we’ll always find a way
No matter how dark it get at night

And before I lose my voice, oh God
I just want to give thanks for
Having all that I asked for
Said before I lose my voice, oh God
I just want to give thanks for
Having all that I asked for, yeah

'Cause everyday me have a purpose inna life, dawg
Wake inna the morning and me haffi laugh, dawg
Haters want fi see you fall, give them a fight, dawg
Badmind a pree, me haffi protect my neck back
'Cause life short and it go faster than my S-Class
'Memba when we to use to bun weed and a skip class
Call me bredda Ben and tell him: Hold the faith, dawg
Bad times, them don't last

I took a loss, it was my fault
Stumble, but I never fall down
Looks can be deceiving
But this life is all I asked for
I took a loss, it was my fault
Stumble, but I never fall down
Knew I would make it out
Born to be great, I will never bow

And before I lose my voice, oh God
I just want to give thanks for
Having all that I asked for
Said before I lose my voice, oh God
I just want to give thanks for
Having all that I asked for, yeah

Born rich, 'cause me born with a clean heart
Ten toes pon the journey, me won’t stop
Persistant a me dem can’t write off
See, times hard, but we don’t soft
Mama, don’t worry, I know you been hurting
But times will get better, so hold it out
Know seh you strong and you must overcome it
Me nah no doubt

See, I took a loss, it was my fault
Stumble, but I never fall down
Looks can be deceiving
But this life is all I asked for
See, I took a loss, it was mine
Steady waiting for my time
Knew I would make it out
Badman fi life, and we nah go bow

And before I lose my voice, oh God
I just want to give thanks for
Having all that I asked for
Said before I lose my voice, oh God
I just want to give thanks for
Having all that I asked for

And before I lose my voice, oh God
I just want to give thanks for
Having all that I asked for
Said before I lose my voice, oh God
I just want to give thanks for
Having all that I asked for
