[bad word] yuh know we might pray for a little bit a vanity
But yuh know we nah left out we frens and we family

Cause I was not born to stay poor
No No no no no no ooo
And I dont want to live like this no more
No No no no no no ooo
So on my knees today lord I Pray
Where there's a will there's a way
Lord you can see 
My mind is clean and my heart is pure
I've seen you open many doors
Keep open one for me and my family
Oh yes.. ohhh

O I know I wont get off my knees
And everything I ask for will be granted
But while am working protect me from the enemies
They want to see me stranded

Dem wah me tan inna di gutter
Dem nuh wah me mama eat a proper supper
You're my sword and shield
My blessings me a go fah

Cause I was not born to stay poor
No No no no no no ooo
And daddy dont want to live like this no more
No No no no no no ooo
So on my knees today lord I Pray
Where there's a will there's a way
Lord you can see 
My mind is clean and my heart is pure
I've seen you open many doors
Keep open one for me and my family
Oh yes.. ohhh

Foreign cars and a house pon the hill
With a nice little pool fi go chill
And a loyal girl by my side forever
Dont want it all, my mama deserve the best
So you know i couldnt settle for less
They say life is good I want mind to be better

Cause I was not born to stay poor
No No no no no no ooo
