Listen... Gideon, listen to me now.
Not every battle is yours to fight, oyiwa!
They will talk about you, they will lie on your name,
Try to pull you into their dirty, little games.
They throw stones, they wait for you to throw it back,
But son, don't lose focus, stay on your track.
Silence is not weakness, silence is power,
A wise man knows when not to answer in that hour.
You don't have to explain yourself to everyone,
Some people only hear what they want to hear, my son.
Gideon, just keep moving.
Let your character defend you,
Let your life tell the truth.
You don't have to answer everything,
Time will speak for you.
Never repay evil for evil, keep your head high,
Let your character defend you, let your spirit fly.
People love to judge what they don't understand,
But keep your feet planted firmly on the land.
You are building a legacy, piece by piece,
Let the drama fade, find your own inner peace.
Wonim? True strength is found in the quiet zone,
Where you stand tall and walk all on your own.
Let your character defend you,
Let your life tell the truth.
You don't have to answer everything,
Time will speak for you.
Never repay evil for evil, keep your head high,
Let your character defend you, let your spirit fly.
Chale, chop life but keep your integrity,
It’s the only thing they can’t take from you, you see.
Let the horns sound, let the guitar play,
Truth will rise up at the end of the day.
Keep your heart clean and your vision clear,
There is nothing for the righteous to fear.
Even when the road gets steep and the sun is hot,
Remember who you are and everything you've got.
Ah ah! Keep pushing forward.
Let your character defend you,
Let your life tell the truth.
You don't have to answer everything,
Time will speak for you.
Never repay evil for evil, keep your head high,
Let your character defend you, let your spirit fly.
Let your character speak, my son.
Time is the judge, yes it is.
Gideon, keep it moving.
Oyiwa, let the truth rise.
Peace.
