Resilent race

We are a people of many shades
My great grandmother mother mother was a maid
Things right she made and still forgave
The milk from her breast fed both enslave master and slave
Foolish mistake, foolish mistake

Babylon accidentally refined all of the master race
Bred the biggest and the strongest, foolish mistake, foolish mistake
We only held up our culture stronger inna the ghetto when them isolate
Us from our place, African race

We carry the birth proof, road proof, dog proof, hose proof
Resilient in many ways
I man obey, Jah lead and I man obey
Jah lead and I man obey

They call us disproportionately evil
What about disproportionately great?
They call us disproportionately criminal
But what about disproportionately great?
Anything pon the plate
We're blessed and we innovate
Jah keep I safe, Jah keep I safe
Jah keep I safe, Jah keep I safe

Tears of pride run down my face
My people make, my people make
Them pon the 50 meter line starting the 100 meter race
And we still come first place
Jah keep I safe, I man know just what you hate
But Jah keep I safe

We carry the birth proof, road proof, hose proof
Resilient in many ways
Jah keep I safe, Jah keep I safe
Jah keep I safe

Babylon accidentally refined all of the master race
They bred the biggest and the strongest
What a foolish mistake, what a foolish mistake, foolish mistake

We carry the birth proof, road proof, hose proof
Resilient in many ways
Jah Jah keep I safe, Jah keep I safe
Jah keep I safe

The ancient warrior is professional ball player today
He just don't know his economic power upon the world stage
He's king on world stage, king on world stage

We carry the road proof, road proof, road proof
Road proof, road proof, road proof, road proof, road proof
