[Intro]
Psalms 127 Selah, 
except di lawd build di house, dey live in vain dat build it,
except di lawd keep di city, di watchmen watch it, but in vain.
Thank yuh, its just another day, selah, its just another day... 

[Chorus 1]

Thank yuh jah mi wake up dis morning,

none ah dem never give way nothing,
its like ghetto youths lost to di system every day dat mi a pree, no,
