[Intro: Tarrus Riley]

Make it breathe

[Verse 1: Runkus]

Thru mama pon her belly and a cry

Tell me who shot the sheriff fi just two pack a ice

Yeah, why, ghetto youth, I tell yuh rise

Pull up inna something dem nuh like

But lift your head up my bredda don't cry (nuh badda cry)

[Chorus: Tarrus Riley]

But lift your head up my sister don't cry (don't cry)

Lift your head up from there
