Lyrics
Mind over matter
Will take yuh everything proper
Will power
Strong ability caan affi yuh prosperity
Shabba rank say
And that the world say
Yuh nuh know seh that the yute dem say
Where say
Tell dem
Will power, strong mind
And ability
That's why they cyaan stop a yute like mi
Will power, strong mind
We nuff a militancy
Key affi life and di track of livity
Certain thing in this world seem possible to mi
Like a float, lika a boat, fly, walk and see
But -uh
Defend di life, that is a possiblity
And all juvenile, education is the key
Will power, strong mind
And ability
That's why they cyaan stop a yute like mi
Will power, strong mind
We nuff a militancy
And that mi one every juvenile fi carry
The living in the ghetto life is not easy
With Mister Poor and Miss Pa patty
No night and day, juble everyday hungry
But never go pon road and farrid nobody
They could not afford fi militancy
Will power, strong mind
And ability
That's why they cyaan stop a yute like mi
Will power, strong mind
We nuff a militancy
And every juvenile, education is the key
You do respect yourself and I go respect mi
And nuh disrespecting yuh mommy and daddy
Or yuh yute are full no brilliancy
No militancy, so yuh cyaan talk to mi
With no buy yuh dancehall salute, dem cyaan buy mi fi money
Never be sure respect on my, ability
Will power, strong mind
And ability
And every ghetto yute, education is the key
Word a yute, militant live yuh should universally
Trial is the testing of everything
But Will power, strong mind and ability
Lively-cate yourself to what you doing and you'll reach to the top
O gosh, tell em, tell em
See ya
Will power, strong mind
And ability
Every ghetto yute, dem care fi militancy
Will power, strong mind
And ability
We want dem fi know that education is the key
No every yute knew to make to listen to this
No falla Shabba Ranks pon positive it
Some a dem a flop
Some a dem a flip
Shabba Ranking a flip too
Inna di music, tell em its a brand new trick
Will power, strong mind
And ability
That's why they cyaan stop a yute like mi
Will power, strong mind
We nuff a militancy
Key affi life and di track of livity
Will power, strong mind
And ability
And every ghetto yute, education is the key
Certain thing in this world seem possible to mi
Like a float, lika a boat, fly, walk and see
But -uh
Defend di life, that is a possiblity
Affi tell every yute that education is the key
Will power, strong mind
And ability
That's why they cyaan stop a yute like mi
I no know ini, I no know mini, I no know meiny, I no know moe
If yuh have yuh education, let mi see yuh and float
If yuh have nuh education, then yuh flop on yuh show
And if yuh flip yuh show so, inna di hear yuh and figure
Will power, strong mind
And ability
That's why they cyaan stop a yute like mi
Will power, strong mind
We nuff a militancy
And every ghetto yute, education is the key
Listen
Want it, want it
Just cyaan get it
Yuh hear mi
And gettin', gettin' is a dem a want it
Proper education, it is the key
