Where I'm Coming From

Lila Iké

And this a Lila ′pon the mic
Oh lawd, oh lawd, lawd, lawd
Oh gosh, ay!
Thankful for the blessings that have fallen on my table
Learning all my lessons now I'm willing and I′m able
To do just what I can, as humble as a lamb
Working towards a goal and we give thanks for helping hands
Pray for health and strength, a life of length and peace of mind
Good people and good vibes, yes we give thanks every time
In every single line, even if it nuh rhyme
Mi gon' sing redemption songs for the people

When I think of Where I'm Coming From
Looking back at where the journey began
I really haffi say that I′m strong, I′m strong
All praises to the most high One
Look at Where I'm Coming From
Looking back at where the journey began
I really haffi say that I′m strong, I'm strong
All praises to the most high One

Make mi tell ya ′bout da
Life of a Queen inna this ya concrete jungle
Firm in a regime so ya nah gon' see mi stumble
Mama say nuh come a town an′ mix wit dutty bungle
See deh now mi jus a rise and so mi rise a so mi humble
Outta Christiana yes mi lef go look for mine
Never sell mi soul, mi settle down an' take mi time
Do it for the love so naturally the light a shine
Now mi realise it's by design

When I look at Where I′m Coming From
Looking back at where the journey began
I really haffi say that I′m strong, I'm strong
All praises to the most high One
Yah an′ I tell ya Where I'm Coming From
Looking back at where the journey began
I really haffi say that I′m strong, I'm strong
All praises

Heights of great men, reach and kept
′Memba when you go deh so you nuh fi ever lef'
Morewhile you have fi toil, you might a crush up like a foil
Still you better gwan burn the midnight oil
It wont be an easy road
But anytime mi overcome the pressure yeah it free me soul
'Cause Jah will never give me more than I can bare
So tell mi wah me really haffi fear?

When I look at Where I′m Coming From
Looking back at where the journey began
I really haffi say that I′m strong, I'm strong
All praises to the most high One
Yah an′ I tell ya Where I'm Coming From
Looking back at where the journey began

All praises

Ah, ah, yeah
To the most high, to the most high, to the most high
To the most high, to the most high, to the most high
To the most high, to the most high, to the most high
Oh gosh, oh gosh, ay

When I look at Where I′m Coming From
Caspa did deh deh when mi voice mi first song
And him can tell you seh I'm strong, I'm strong
All praises to the most high One
