[Intro: Jahshii]
If it's up to me and God
We prove them wrong (Yo Izy, are you kidding me?)
(Prove them wrong)
[Chorus: Jahshii]
We in the struggle, but we still surviving
Cah them will kill you just for a Nike
They don't want to see youths rising
And if we make it out, sure dem no like it (Yeah)
See weh we come from, people don't think they can live how they want (Woah)
But leave it to me, and I'm a prove them all wrong
[Verse 1: Protoje]
Me tell you say them no real
Disguise how dem feel
Yuh mother tell you say if you no hеar, you go feel
Now you behind bars and nah go get no appeal
Find out thе lawyer work fi dem, and now you nah get no deal
Crab in a barrel mentality (Dem wah)
Fi pull yo down like gravity
Me haffi keep my sanity
But dem nuh know say me have my strategy (No, no)
[Chorus: Jahshii]
We in the struggle, but we still surviving (Surviving)
Cah them will kill you just for a Nike
They don't want to see youths rising
And if we make it out, sure dem no like it (Yeah)
See weh we come from, people don't think they can live how they want (Woah)
But leave it to me, and I'm a prove them all wrong
[Verse 2: Jahshii]
The struggle real, yeah, never make that worry me yet
Empty barrel make the noise, but a money we make
Jah be me light inna the dark when me a touch the street
Me hear the lie weh dem a talk, but me no believe them
Defy the odds, a so mi mean
Ghetto youths wake up and go fi dreams
Round yah suh we no get nutt'n free, no
Proto, we lead out
[Chorus: Jahshii]
We in the struggle, but we still surviving
Cah them will kill you just for a Nike
They don't want to see youths rising
And if we make it out, sure dem no like it (Yeah)
See weh we come from, people don't think they can live how they want (Woah)
But leave it to me, and I'm a prove them all wrong
[Bridge: Jahshii]
Yeah, man a so we prove them wrong all the time
Me is a youth wah believe say life is a journey, you know?
And me believe say you haffi determined, yuh hear that?
No matter late or early
Yuh haffi work and count your blessings
And collect them with two hands open, yuh hear that?
No matter the noise inna the market
[Chorus: Jahshii & Protoje]
We in the struggle, but we still surviving (Still)
Cah them will kill you just for a Nike
They don't want to see youths rising
And if we make it out, sure dem no like it (Them cyah stop that man)
See weh we come from, people don't think they can live how they want (Woah)
But leave it to me, and I'm a prove them all wrong
