Jah goes before I, I can see it every day
Up to me to testify, I see good things on my way
Let me tell you about the garage time, about no food time, about no drink water
Mama used to hide and cry, I won’t lie I used to cry too
Jah goes before I
I’ve seen my mother go into a garbage bin
To feed me and my sister, that was the daily routine
Righta after she and papa decide to break the marriage
I was too young yes, but I could overstand
Too young, but could overstand
Jah goes before I
