Designed to keep ah me down

This has nothing to do with money, or fame, or vanity
This one is all about self worth
So, big up your chest and stand proud and don’t matter 'bout nobody
No man nuh more than no man pon this earth
So whether you walk, or you a drive car
Nuh matter if you're white, or black like tar

Push up unuh hand and tell all the haters

I will praise you Lord
With every breath that I take,
I will praise you Lord
This promise I make
And should eternity end and starts all over again
Even then I will praise you Lord
