What you're gonna stand for?
Stand for your kingdom
All me really want is my Kingdom
All me really want is my freedom
Even though I made some mistakes
Just know my spirit can't break yeah
All me really want is the wisdom
Nuff fi pass down for the children
We could start now not too late
Hope someday we'll find our way yeah
There's justice that we keep wanting
There's problems nobody's solving
Go to war everyday like a soldier
Fight for equality, should be over
Different skin, different name
But the same blood
That we bleed
Can we breathe
Nuff is enough
Is it a crime to just live
Wanting my freedom?
Why we can't value every human life?
Resistance when we see a different life
If it nuh hurt you why they can't live life?
We done with all the preaching
Need some peace inna we life
All me really want is my Kingdom
All me really want is my freedom
Even though I made some mistakes
Just know my spirit can't break yeah
All me really want is the wisdom
Nuff fi pass down for the children
We could start now not too late
Hope someday we'll find our way yeah
Easy how they take a rocket to the moon
But they can't find solution for the ghetto youths
And now they wanna wonder why we loot and shoot
'Cause when we add the math up it don't compute
And sometimes at night when I talk to God
I think he West Indian with many jobs
Took a hundred days just to get it signed
Just 'cause you got a stick, don't mean you can lead the blind
And momma told her daughter she gon' be okay
17 got a baby on the way
And daddy turned Houdini
Disappeared he gonne never see his offspring
When one door close another door opens
Tried to turn the key but it got broken
But I'm so faithful waiting for a miracle
Why we can't value every human life?
Resistance when we see a different life
If it nuh hurt you why they can't live life?
We done with all the preaching
Need some peace inna we life
All me really want is my Kingdom (kingdom)
All me really want is my freedom (freedom)
Even though I made some mistakes
Just know my spirit can't break yeah
All me really want is the wisdom
Nuff fi pass down for the children
We could start now not too late
Hope someday we'll find our way yeah
They out here moving so heartless (heartless)
Blind to the facts in pure darkness (oh-oh)
Dem ah judge when's there's been no charges
We're not perfect but some act so flawless
Don't deserve to be feeling so restless
Gotta prove that my rights just as precious
We could make the mistakes and don't learn
Change direction time fi stand firm
All me really want is my Kingdom
All me really want is my freedom
Even though I made some mistakes
Just know my spirit can't break yeah
All me really want is the wisdom
Nuff fi pass down for the children
We could start now not too late
Hope someday we'll find our way yeah
