|
Givin' thanks and praise to almighty jah jah |
|
Glad fi reach now mi safe, mi have fi seen mi father |
|
Di sun it a beat and mi a get well para |
|
'Cos a many many tings a di Yoot man now I would like to know |
|
Was he fat, was he slim, did he drink or did he smoke? |
|
These are di type a di tings a weh a di Yoot man a want fi know |
|
|

It's been eleven long years since mi seen mi father |
|

Now mi know mi reach know mi know mi safe |
|

|
'Cos a many many years since him gone |
|
When him tek a tek a house and land |
|
Fi go better himself, big up himself |
|
For weh him did dream a weh did he plan |
|
'Cos di ting I remember di most he was ambitious man |
|
So him build up a house, build up a land, buy up a car and a |
|

|

|

|
So everything set, everything fly |
|
Now mi know cool and go blow my mind |
|
Because mi ready fi go see my father |
|
And dat's di only thing upon my mind |
