This is the truth and right
And right
So people come listen we

What makes you think you can do this to me?
I'm a free man in my own sovereignty
How could you come to this?
To the one conclusion?
I will not be what you want me to be
You tried to put down all my works and my integrity
Holding me back down
Stand up, forwarding

[Chorus]
What a gwan with them other people
We must not choose such evil
And Jah music cure the people
Jah works secure all the people

I ya truth and right
This is my time
To let my light shine bright
In a truth and right
This is my time

So people come listen we
Jah know you haffi hear we
You want I to listen to this and listen to that
I will not be another dem [?] attack
I must defend my sovereignty
As a blessed child of the almighty

[Chorus]
What a gwan with them other people
We must not choose such evil
And Jah music cure the people
Jah works secure all the people

Well I have rights
I ya truth and right
This is my time
To let my light shine bright
I have rights
I ya truth and right
This is my time
To let my light shine bright

I will not be all that I am
All that I need to be
Fulfill my purpose for the privilege to be
In life with my family

I will not be all that I am
All that I need to be
Fulfill my purpose for the privilege to be
In life with my family
I ya truth
Deliver me from this inequity
Deliver me oh no

Well I have rights
I ya truth and right
This is my time
To let my light shine bright
I have rights
I ya truth and right
This is my time
To let my light shine bright

I will not be all that I am
All that I need to be
Fulfill my purpose for the privilege to be
In life with my family
