[male vocals] Ngoi
Nayo
Yeah,
man.
Hear
the
words
of
the
righteous.
The
road
is
long,
the
hill
is
steep,
but
the
trod
must
continue.
Watch
them
fly
high
on
borrowed
wings,
But
we
standard
firm
on
solid
ground.
Listen
close
now... (
Verse 1)
Every
morning
under
the
burning
sun,
We
rise
up
early,
but
the
work
is
never
done.
Sweat
falls
down
like
rain
on
dry
soil,
Years
of
heavy
labor,
lifetimes
of
honest
toil.
But
when
we
look
at
the
harvest
we
bring,
It’
s
just
tiny
blessings,
little,
small
things.
A
little
bread
on
the
table,
a
little
roof
from
the
rain,
While
we
carry
a
heavy
sack
of
unspoken
pain. (
Verse 2)
Then
I
look
across
the
street,
see
the
vanity
display,
The
ones
who
choose
the
shortcut
and
take
the
easy
way.
They
didn’
t
plant
no
seeds,
they
didn’
t
till
the
soil,
They
build
their
wicked
mansions
out
of
other
people's
spoil.
They’
re
flying
high
today,
laughing
at
the
poor,
Driving
big
machines,
locking
up
their
silver
door.
But
wealth
built
on
mischief
is
a
shadow
in
the
night,
It
bound
to
fade
away
when
Jah
brings
the
morning
light.
Ngoi
Nayo (
Chorus)
So
hear
me
now!
They
say
you're
getting
older,
time
is
running
out,
But
Joseph
Ngoi
knows
what
life
is
all
about!
Age
doesn’
t
matter,
it’
s
a
number
in
the
dust,
It’
s
the
input
you
give,
and
in
Jah
we
put
our
trust.
Joseph
Ngoi
will
keep
pushing,
standing
tall
and
strong,
No
matter
the
weather,
we
keep
moving
along!
Yes,
Joseph
Ngoi
never
fold,
never
bow,
The
input
is
pure,
and
we’
re
pressing
on
now! (
Verse 3)
Some
say, "
Joseph,
why
you
still
a
try?
Look
how
the
wicked
man
a
rise
up
so
high."
But
clean
hands
and
a
pure
heart
are
greater
than
gold,
The
joy
of
the
righteous
can
never
be
sold.
Let
them
take
the
shortcut,
let
them
run
the
race,
Greed
is
a
trap
that
leads
to
disgrace.
I’
d
rather
have
my
little
with
peace
inna
my
soul,
Than
a
mountain
of
silver
and
lose
total
control.
Ngoi
nayo (
Bridge)
It’
s
not
how
many
years
you
live
upon
the
earth,
It’
s
the
weight
of
your
actions
that
gives
your
life
worth.
So
pour
in
the
sweat,
pour
in
the
heart,
Don’
t
look
back
to
the
side,
don’
t
you
ever
depart.
Keep
the
fire
burning
bright.
Ngoi
Nayo (
Chorus)
Because
they
say
you're
getting
older,
time
is
running
out,
But
Joseph
Ngoi
knows
what
life
is
all
about!
Age
doesn’
t
matter,
it’
s
a
number
in
the
dust,
It’
s
the
input
you
give,
and
in
Jah
we
put

trust.
Joseph
Ngoi
will
keep
pushing,
standing
tall
and
strong,
No
matter
the
weather,
we
keep
moving
along!
Yes,
Joseph
Ngoi
never
fold,
never
bow,
The
input
is
pure,
and
we’
re
pressing
on
now! (
Outro)
Keep
pushing,
Joseph.
No
shortcut
trodding.
Just
honest
working.
Age
can't
stop
the
fire.
It's
the
input.
The
energy.
The
soul.
Little
by
little,
the
bucket
gets
full.
Standard
firm...
Joseph
Ngoi...
Yeah,
man.
Fade
out
with
the
bass
line.
One
Love.
Would
you
like
me
to
adjust
the
rhythm
to
fit
a
specific
style
of
reggae,
like
a
slow
Roots
Reggae
vibe
or
a
faster
Modern
Dancehall
flow?
