Mi can’t tek it

Yea yea, meh deh yeh',  wah gwan pull up the tune 

(Verse 1)
Mi step out in di dawn, barefoot ‘pon di lawn
Pressure inna mi chest heavy like Babylon
Dem seh, “meh, how yuh deal wid di storm?”
Mi seh, “Di fire in mi belly keep mi spirit warm.”
Mi nah wear no crown, mi nah chase di gold
Mi wisdom ancient—dem stories never told
Mi sight dem illusion, mi see through di plan
But mi can’t tek di lies from di mouth of man.

(Chorus)
Mi can’t tek it, mi spirit vibratin’
System lock mi inna cage but mi soul keep escapin’
Mi can’t tek it, dem fake smile creatin’
Meh bun it down, givin’ truth no debatin’

(Verse 2)
Mi sip from di chalice, hope cyaan vanish
Roots dig deep—dem bad mind can’t scavenge
Mi lyrics like thunder, mi words a mi weapon
Mi rise ‘gainst di wrong, mi nah beg fi no lesson
Mi meditate ‘pon di hill, breeze cool like steel
But di city full a heat, people lose dem will
Mi chant mi song, fi di ones gone astray
Mi can’t tek di evil dem bring every day.

(Chorus)
Mi can’t tek it, mi spirit vibratin’
System lock mi inna cage but mi soul keep escapin’
Mi can’t tek it, dem fake smile creatin’
Meh bun it down, givin’ truth no debatin’

(Bridge)
Mi nah bend like tree inna hurricane
Mi voice echo out—dem cyaan numb di pain
Truth inna mi veins, freedom inna mi brain
Mi drop word sound powa—let it soak like rain

(Outro)
Mi step out still strong, inna riddim mi live long
Meh nah silent—mi a chant mi song
Mi can’t tek it, but mi nah back down
Mi fire blaze bright, di realness wear di crown.
