Many obstacles come along the way

Overcome youths, overcome

Many are called, but the chosen few

Nothing in this world that you can’t do

Work hard for your dreams and they will come true

Overcome, overcome

Everyday you get up living like a bum

Get up, brush off, take yourself out of the slum

And go find a trade, and make some fun

Don’t drown your stress inna smoke and rum

Slow, but sure, dem will put you underground

Set up a stall, likkle bulla, likkle bun

So when the week done you nuh haffi beg nobody none
