Stepping on the enemy
Try fi take my energy
You can't thief the recipe, no
Seeing through the frenemies
Them search for remedy
When there's no therapy

Oh Why? Why dem try fi put me down?
Oh Lord, why dem try fi take the crown, my crown

Remember when I was a likkle pickney?
Mommy show me them and their inequity (she say)
Life back then never pretty
Cause nuff a dem say love but eye u wickedly

What's the remedy for the frenemies?
Why we can't agree just fi disagree?
Out of many people, one melody
So, tell me: why you're tryna put me down?

Stepping on the enemy
Try fi take my energy
He can't thief the recipe, no
Seeing through the frenemies
Them search for remedy
When there's no therapy

Oh Why? Why dem try fi put me down?
Oh Lord, why dem try fi take the crown, my crown

Through the struggles and the troubles, no one give you blame
They knock me down, then lock me up without reason or rhyme
End up in a predicament, get on your knees and pray
All this time killing ourselves has only brought us pain
Babylon will turn you fool
Don't let them use you like a tool
Lessons come from heartache not only school
Tell me: why you tryna put me down?

Stepping on the enemy
Try fi take my energy
You can't thief the recipe, no
Seeing through the frenemies
Them search for remedy
When there's no therapy

Oh Why? Why dem try fi put me down?
Oh Lord, why dem try fi take the crown, my crown
