The beat is ready and I ride it
When I come around they excited 
They all wanna key to the garden
So I roll it up and I light it 
Tell me how you like it 
Get me on the wheel, imma drive it
Now they wanna raise the up the mileage 

well I don't like to turn my back 
And so I work and give back 
me I just want to dey my lane 
Got the gang behind now

Listen when they call, they call my name
I found the voice within me
No man can curse what God has made

So I can be your pain
When the dark is closing in 
See they want to lovepraise me now
When they tried to take me down 

We'll be flying off the ground 
When the world is going out
When the earth falling in yeah 

This is the mind , This is light 
This is time , This is the way 
This the dream coming toward me 
I've been the one, don't have to say it 

This is the vibe, don't need to fake it 
Seeing the world, Living beyond it
This is the key, so i can save you

well I don't like to turn my back 
And so I work and give back 
me I just want to dey my lane 
Got the gang behind now

Listen when they call, they call my name
I found the voice within me
No man can curse what God has made

So let me be your pain 
When the dark is closing in 
See they want to lovepraise me now
When they tried to take me down 

We'll be flying off the ground 
When the world is going out
When the earth falling in yeah 

Yeah yeah
Their heat is getting cold
Their eyes are slowly closing 
Their chains they cannot hold me
Under the open sky
They're looking for a way
But I will keep you safe
