Lyrics:

[INTRO:] You got to get going
No time to sit and doubt
Some people not knowing life is a cycle
You got to know how to get around

[CHORUS:] Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don’t you wait too long

Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don’t you wait too long

[VERSE 1:] Aye, how you doing
Long time I haven’t seen you
Hope you behaving yourself now,
Like the good behaving citizen
Nothing comes easy
You got to work hard, I’m telling you
Hope and pray for the best,
Cause I believe in you
Not like the stereo type,
Cleanliness intriguing you
Give thanks and praise for my life
And for us being here
Children times are this good, the system killing us
There’s good in us, and we always want you to bring it out
Show the world what we’ve got
The struggle continues, yow
Check the conditions, in which we living, yow
I now want come giving yow
Got to help to big up inna
Our children going to burry the governors you know

[CHORUS:] Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don’t you wait too long

Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don’t you wait too long

[VERSE 2:] People are filled with expectations, that’s fine with me
Opportunity comes but once, so its time for me
I don’t think of failure because there’s sunshine for me
Something in the back of my head, keep reminding me
Keep a listening ear when I call
There’s good, and that’s so just be good and stand tall
A lot of people out there wish for me to fall
I’m not scared
I pray to he who had created us all
Evils and the demons, woo, I don’t stop with them
Heard they don’t like, aye, what’s up with them
I just can’t do without Jah love
Because it’s like the oxygen
I doh in no folly, I doh inna no crap with them

[CHORUS:] Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don’t you wait too long

Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don’t you wait too long

[VERSE 3:] Aye, how you doing
Long time I haven’t seen you
Hope you behaving yourself now,
Like the good behaving citizen
Nothing comes easy
You got to work hard, I’m telling you
Hope and pray for the best,
Cause I believe in you
Not like the stereo type,
Cleanliness intriguing you
Give thanks and praise for my life
And for us being here
Children times are this good, the system killing us
There’s good in us, and we always want you to bring it out
Show the world what we’ve got
The struggle continues, yow
Check the conditions, in which we living, yow
I now want come giving yow
Got to help to big up inna
Our children going to burry the governors you know

[CHORUS:] Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don’t you wait too long

Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don’t you wait too long
