  • Three shots upon the sky
    Three bluebirds flying by
    Three sons remind me why
    I ended up in Crown Heights

    Where's my confidence?
    You know you want it all
    Believe in yourself
    Even after the fall
    I wish I knew that one
    A long time ago

    Now when I walk in the street
    Got that hop in my step
    Chest out head back
    Yeah you know what I rep
    Strut like a Rasta
    Though I'm being chased by death
    I'll be gone 'til whenever
    Like the song by Wyclef
    Listening to music
    Always gave me vision
    So when you see me on the street
    I'll be walkin' to the rhythm
    Focus in my face
    That's the way I'm straight livin'
    Champion heart
    From the start of the beginning
    I've been lookin' for the palace
    A crown and a throne
    Click-clack
    Around Krakow
    Typing on my phone
    Tackling my demons
    But you know that by now
    Chassidic reggae superstar
    Tell you all how
    Got it on the inside
    I don't need to wear it out
    Can't say I'm not religious
    I just let go of the doubt
    And right about now
    Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
    I like old things
    Things that go slow
    Antiques and such
    So what ya know?
    I'm an old soul
    That's the way I like to go
    Thankful for the bumps
    I like to feel the road
    How can I defend
    Against snakes and scorpions?
    Trying to be your friends
    Then they cut you in the end
    Feel the sleep moving
    Collapse and give in then I start again
    How can I pretend?

    Where's my confidence?
    You know you want it all
    Believe in yourself
    Even after the fall
    I wish I knew that one
    A long time ago

    Where's my confidence?
    You know you want it all
    Believe in yourself
    Even after the fall
    I wish I knew that one
    A long time ago

    Got it on the inside
    I don't need to wear it out
    Can't say I'm not religious
    I just let go of the doubt
    And right about now
    I'm a let go of this trout
    Whispering my pleas, I ain't gotta be loud
    Throw it in the sea, throw it back to the sea
    Underneath the clouds
    Know what I mean
    This is my silent scream
    Doing as I please
    I bless you with the ease
    Why these dudes judging me?

    Take a piece of herb and break it up
    Roll it up, take a shot to the head top
    Hit nice, Hit nice
    Me a wine wit the gal dem
    Everyting nice, ting nice
    Everybody have vibes and me no wan hear no gun shot
    Hear vibes, good vibes
    Over some foolishness, some people, dem a come shot
    So people are rich yo
    Some people dem a hit yo
    Some people a go tru life and not care about nobody else
    A little bit yo
    Yi have the confidence to keep strong
    Have the confidence to hol on
    No more pestilence in our residence
    The Lord Testament from All em'
    It's not the easy road but we have to live it
    Anything in life
    Put in all of your heart, your mind, and your soul
    Remember the greatest gift is love

    I need some confidence
    How can I walk tall
    With the critic in my head?
    Won't rest till I feel small

    I need some confidence
    How can I walk tall
    With the critic in my head?
    Won't rest till I feel small Writer/s: COLIN HARPER, JOSEPH ANTHONY TOMINO, MATTHEW MILLER, STU BASSIE BROOKS
