We pray for water mek it wash down bag-a-walla 
Dem a talk bout more fire, we a talk bout more prayer
We this yah tune dat ago mek some DJ talk some more...But Wha!!! 

Chorus: 
Heights of great men reach and kept 
were not attained by sudden flight 
but while their companions slept 
were toiling through the night
Heights of great men reach and kept 
were not attained by sudden flight 
but while their companions slept 
were toiling through the night


Verse 1: 
Cool, a who dem seh dem a fight deh, a who dem seh dem go light 
Selassie overthroned him never tek nobody's stripe 
A who dem a seh man nasty?? and dem nuh smell so right 
A nuff a dem deh dutty dread nuh bath under pipe 
Mi see seh dat look envious mi know it obvious 
And if mi never war wid him I know him wouldn't buss
Yuh should have thanked mi first, I am da genius 
Like how yuh dissed though dat a small exodus 
Cool!!! Mi check mi hear how yuh waan bun Bill Clinton
Mi use fi hear how yuh waan bun all maamaman 
Mi use fi hear how yuh waan bun all lesbian 
So tell mi how di hell yuh go sign to Def Jam when???!!! 

Chorus: 
Heights of great men reach and kept 
were not attained by sudden flight 
but while their companions slept 
were toiling through the night
Heights of great men reach and kept 
were not attained by sudden flight 
but while their companions slept 
were toiling through the night

Verse 2:

Wait this yah dupyman come fi cause trouble 
But hear mi sing.... 

Chorus: 
Heights of great men reach and kept

Heights of great men reach and kept 
were not attained by sudden flight 
but while their companions slept 
were toiling through the night
