Yam Vine Heart

[Verse 1]
Them seh di pressure fit fi bust pipe
But we water run cool through the longest night
Your hand inna mine inna di pimento tree shade
A simple kinda promise we done made
Roots dem a tek hold, slow and quiet
Stronger than any Trenchtown riot.

[Chorus]
We grow like yam vine through the concrete
Find sun where them only see street
Yeah, we heart get tough but it still beat sweet.

[Verse 2]
Hear the salt pon the breeze from the Folly Ruins
While the sound system string up some old time tunes
Them build wall, we find the crack fi grow through
Show them what a little bit of true love can do
Sip a cool Red Stripe, watch the evening fade
Inna this garden we cultivate and we made.

[Bridge]
My Grandma she tell me, 'Son, tend your own ground'
'Nuh mek dem mad rush ever turn you 'round'
True roots grow deep, cyaan pull them from down.

[Outro]
Yeah, tough, but it still beat sweet
Yam vine heart, can't know defeat.
