VERSE 1
Di youths dem affi elevate
We affi live we affi see a better way
R.I.P to the ones dem weh segregate
Ruffus even tho maxi gone gwaan wull di faith
Dem cyah drag we dung we a heavy weight (Champion)
The World ago say we great
Me jus deh yah so a hope an pray
Fi see better days because
I wanna be free like a bird in the sky
I gotta be free gonna fly so high
I'm on the rise
Ruffus I'm gonna Shine
I wanna be free like a bird in the sky
I gotta be free gonna fly so high
I'm on the rise
Ruffus I'm gonna Shine
Hermitage a weh me hail from
Big August town di wull a Vietnam (Sas)
Never figet the dawq dem from day one
R.I.P Jcryme you was a great one (9)
Me see man tek life an nuh create one (Sad)
Me see seh dem a pagan
Cyah wait fi tour life fi the plane land
An when the plane land a bare celebration
I wanna be free like a bird in the sky
I gotta be free gonna fly so high
I'm on the rise
Ruffus I'm gonna Shine
I wanna be free like a bird in the sky
I gotta be free gonna fly so high
I'm on the rise
Ruffus I'm gonna Shine
Di youths dem affi elevate
We affi live we affi see a better way
R.I.P to the ones dem weh segregate
Ruffus even tho maxi gone gwaan wull di faith
Dem cyah drag we dung we a heavy weight (Champion)
The World ago say we great
Me jus deh yah so a hope an pray
Fi see better days because
I wanna be free like a bird in the sky
I gotta be free gonna fly so high
I'm on the rise
Ruffus I'm gonna Shine
I wanna be free like a bird in the sky
I gotta be free gonna fly so high
I'm on the rise
Ruffus I'm gonna Shine
