GET THE PRIZE

Get the prize … Youths have to get the prize
Some day we have to get the prize
Get the prize … all when the time is hard
Say we have to get the prize
And we’re never going to go astray
Because Jah guide us along the way
Thank you Father for showing us a brighter day
We’ll forever glorify your name

Road blocks on my way but I never stumble
Bad mind people will never see me crumble
I don’t run from the wolf nor the eagle
Jah make me strong like the lion in the jungle
Hype some are hype, we see they’re not humble
Everyday they get up and fight against ghetto people
They have a dutty bad mind without a reason
They all have to get a beating

Chorus

I’ll never give up the fight
Because I know Jah is by my side
Giving I strength to stay alive
So I know that I shall get by
Dutty bad mind want to see us die
Don’t want to see us reaching for the sky
Still we’re going to keep our heads up high
Seeking our goals no matter what they try

Chorus

Say I have to get what is rightfully mine
Blood sweat and tears for every nickel and dime
They don’t love to see the ghetto youths shine
But one step at the time the ladder we climb
They don’t see the sign, we see that they’re blind
Tell the fussy not to cross our line
What they’re going to do in their judgment time
Too late to bawl please now they better resign

Chorus

Road blocks on my way but I never stumble
Bad mind people will never see me crumble
I don’t run from the wolf nor the eagle
Jah make me strong like the lion in the jungle
Hype some are hype, we see they’re not humble
Everyday they get up and fight against ghetto people
They have a dutty bad mind without a reason
They all have to get a beating

Chorus
