lyrics

[Intro]
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Nobody knows the things that I've seen
So I, I wanna tell you just who I am
Oh, I wanna tell you where I stand

[Verse 1]
Mama say make the most of what mi got
Just a voice and a flow wah you nah forgot
Hot like cook food mek we stir the pot
Walking nonstop though the journey long
And mi finally find where the path is on
And it higher than the level where the crows belong
And a me next up for the position
Step inna Israel with the faith of Abram
Malachi rise up fi build the nation
Calling everyone from one to pension
When life give we test we pass the exam
Mi nuh eediat mi have mi college education
Watch what you say bout mi generation
Cause we run through school without detention
Walking smooth without the tension
Song dem real without pretension

[Chorus]
It's all I've got
So take me as I am, take me as I am
These songs are all I've got
So take me as I am, take me as I am
So I, I wanna tell you just who I am
Oh, I wanna tell you where I stand

[Verse 2]
Sometimes mi nuh feel like carry on
Think bout mi life, mi incline fi bawl
Sometimes mi feel fi ignore the call
Try stand up tall but in time mi fall
Mi see nuff man dead a try change the world
So wah God coulda want with a youth like me
Him say son "I'll take you through the hurt,
Just speak the truth and set the youths free"
Me alone just can't withstand the flames
Haffi pray, haffi call pon Jesus name
This game is not a quick one to play
But we singing it just the same
And we going for the win
Devil nah go burn mi skin
Not an option to give in
That's the reason why I sing

[Chorus]
These songs are all I've got
So take me as I am, take me as I am
These songs are all I've got
So take me as I am, take me as I am
So I, I'm gonna tell you just who I am
Oh, I wanna tell you where I stand

[Verse 3]
What more can I give but a heart of love wah mi get from the Father above?
What more can I say fi di youths out there weh a search and a look fi a way
Mi see people a bawl and a call fi di hurst
Dem never know say the worst come first
So we standing tall from the last to the first
All when heart burst, God we never curse
Him take me through the hills and through the valleys
Oh yes him take me through the dark roads and the alleys
Take me through the hills and through the valleys
Take me through the dark roads and the alleys
He's all I've got
