Take a Chance Lyrics

Dem call mi Mr. Rough an' Tough, Jah warrior strong,

When di wicked rise up, mi still ah move along.

One by one, mi face dem trials, mi nah back down,

Trod through di fire, mi still wear mi crown.

Di landlord knock, seh mi rent overdue,

Di boss tek mi work, seh mi cyaan continue.

Dem tink mi woulda break, tink mi spirit woulda done,

But wid Jah on mi side, mi fight dem one by one.

Rough an' tough, mi tek dem on one by one,

Wid Jah strength, mi rise till di battle done.

Rough an' tough, mi stand firm inna di storm,

Wid Jah light, mi heart keep warm.

Di streets get rough, crime ah tek over town,

Mi see mi bredren fall, but mi hold mi own ground.

Police ah knock, seh mi name pon di list,

But mi seh, "Jah protect mi," dem cyaan resist.

Di bank lock di door, seh mi cyaan get no loan,

Di fridge dem empty, di struggle mi own.

But like a lion inna jungle, mi face it wid pride,

One by one, mi conquer, wid Jah as mi guide.

Rough an' tough, mi tek dem on one by one,

Wid Jah strength, mi rise till di battle done.

Rough an' tough, mi stand firm inna di storm,

Wid Jah light, mi heart keep warm.

Mi tek on di hunger, mi tek on di pain,

Di sunshine follow after di heavy rain.

Mi tek on di lies, mi tek on di hate,

Mi know seh Jah timing always ah great.

Dem fling mi in di lion den, but mi still survive,

One by one, mi fight till mi soul feel alive.

Wid Jah word pon mi lips, mi nah lose mi way,

Dem tink mi woulda fall, but mi rise today.

Rough an' tough, mi tek dem on one by one,

Wid Jah strength, mi rise till di battle done.

Rough an' tough, mi stand firm inna di storm,

Wid Jah light, mi heart keep warm.

Call mi Mr. Rough an' Tough, mi never run,

Every trial ah di proof dat di war cyaan done.

One by one, mi face dem, di strong an' di weak,

But wid Jah love eternal, mi victory mi seek.

Rough an' tough, di road long but mi trod,

One by one, mi overcome wid Jah, mi God.

Rough an' tough, di wicked cyaan win,

One by one, mi triumph, wid Jah deep within.

Rough an' tough, mi tek dem on one by one,

Wid Jah strength, mi rise till di battle done.

Rough an' tough, mi stand firm inna di storm,

Wid Jah light, mi heart keep warm.

Rough an' tough, mi tek dem on one by one,

Wid Jah strength, mi rise till di battle done.

Rough an' tough, mi stand firm inna di storm,

Wid Jah light, mi heart keep warm.
