[Verse 1: Da Face]

Dey had to rue de day

Ah make mih soubriqet

De hardest working dog I do not play

Never cool in school dey like dude is you

I never really think about it ah just do de do

From the island Columbus claim

Just a dot on a i off the spanish main

Is i with de Spanish blood no Spanish name

And mih parents work to harness mih path to fame dey never know it

Never close

I eh show it

I eh boast

I eh posing

I eh coast

But I impose mih will from coast to coast

From underground to doing de most

Like Wasa on a road mih mark cyah pave off

Making lay ups while people getting laid off

Every song is a house that under rent

Not long till ah up in dey one percent

I'z a man cyah depend on de government

Sell mih ass for a vote, daiy punishment

But ah pass dese quotes like nourishment

For de glory mih story's de main event

[Chorus: Nex Chapta]

For de glory

For de glory gloraaaay (huh)

For de glory

For de glory gloraaaay (aaaaaye)

Hard work expose your character (huh)

Your kingly character

Ar ararar

Welcome to de nex chapta

[Verse 2: Da Face]

Only truth ah speak, all de faking done already

Make up mih mind mih doctorate go be honourary

Wasting time worse than wasting money

Or facing time when de days are sunny

Fame intertwined with shame increase one

And the other's deceased, inverse relation

Ah need mih patience I now at page 1

I not October so no vacations (work haaard)

Did maths in school and physics now ah in to win this

Back then dey say doh do business

But de richest ones running two and three business

You getting ones and your work hours endless

We get degrees, so dey could employ we

First place rat race stuck on de mouse wheel

Car loan house loan when is yuh boy free, (when is your boy free?)

Work to play, play to work daiy de decoy see

But ah out, what dey talking about

Mih day dream in reach cyah entertain doubt

No doubt all doubt done came and went

For de glory

Doh worry, mih story's de main event

[Chorus: Nex Chapta]

For de glory

For de glory gloraaaay (huh)

For de glory

For de glory gloraaaay (aaaaaye)

Hard work expose your character (huh)

Your kingly character

Ar ararar

Welcome to de nex chapta

[Bridge: Nex Chapta]

Do you know I will survive

I know dey coming for me

I have the Lord above me

(yeah yeah)

Do you know that I will rise

They ha the same old story

They want to take my glory

[Verse 3: Da Face]

Black people couldn't work in banks so give thanks

With a ras I rise de ranks no implants

Keep a breast, of days gone past to progress

If calypso could reach the shores of US Since 1920

We blazing trails

Belafonte grossed a million sales

Why calypso is here, not there with reggae?

Why Rihanna not Machel getting airplay

Why Face cyah make a wave and get paid and pay he rent?

Starting five I eh taking de bench

Dey cyannot stop we shine, how dat making sense?

For de glory doh worry, mih story's de main event

[Chorus: Nex Chapta]

For de glory

For de glory gloraaaay (huh)

For de glory

For de glory gloraaaay (aaaaaye)

Hard work expose your character (huh)

Your kingly character

Ar ararar

Welcome to de nex chapta
