[Intro – spoken in patois] Night breeze carry di whisper ‘cross di bay, Stories float ‘pon di ripple, neva fade ‘way. Mi look to di horizon an’ mi see di sign, Hope still burning inna heart like fire inna line. [Verse 1] Smoke on di water, silver inna tide, Carry mi memories far an’ wide. Every face mi lose, every hand mi hold, Etch inna di current like a story told. Streetlight flicker where di youth dem play, Even when di dark try block di way. From di high-rise blocks to di market square, Mi feel di beat, mi know it still deh deh. Every scar mi wear, mi wear it proud, Every dream mi chase, mi chase it loud. Even when di rain wash down mi track, Mi keep on walkin’ an’ mi neva look back. [Pre-Chorus] Mi nah go drown inna di tide, Nah let di current tek mi pride. Every step mi tek is mine, Every struggle just a sign. [Chorus] Smoke on di water, light in di rain, Wash ‘way di sorrow, heal all di pain. Every tide rising, carry we far, Guided by hope like a northern star. Smoke on di water, still mi stand tall, Even when di night try tek it all. Every scar pon mi soul, every crack in di ground, Mi deh yah forever, cyaan keep mi down. [🔥 Guitar Solo – soaring, melodic, emotional – leads into Verse 2] [Verse 2] From di dockside dreams to di uptown night, Mi see di struggle an’ mi hold on tight. Some lost dem way, some lose dem fight, But mi still blaze path inna di darkest light. City walls echo wid di sound of change, Life rearrange but di love remain. Every riddim mi hear is a lifeline call, Every beat mi drop break down di wall. [Pre-Chorus] Mi nah go drown inna di tide, Nah let di current tek mi pride. Every step mi tek is mine, Every struggle just a sign. [Chorus] Smoke on di water, light in di rain, Wash ‘way di sorrow, heal all di pain. Every tide rising, carry we far, Guided by hope like a northern star. Smoke on di water, still mi stand tall, Even when di night try tek it all. Every scar pon mi soul, every crack in di ground, Mi deh yah forever, cyaan keep mi down. [Bridge – spoken dub echo] Di wave cyaan wash ‘way who mi be. Every ripple just remind mi — mi still free. From di shoreline to di skyline, Mi carry di fire, mi carry di sign. [Final Chorus – drop & build] Smoke on di water, light in di rain, Wash ‘way di sorrow, heal all di pain. Every tide rising, carry we far, Guided by hope like a northern star. Smoke on di water, still mi stand tall, Even when di night try tek it all. Every scar pon mi soul, every crack in di ground, Mi deh yah forever, cyaan keep mi down. [🔥 Outro Solo – emotional peak synth-guitar duet, soaring and fading into deep dub reverb] [Outro – dub fade] Smoke on di water… but we still rise. Keep walkin’… keep fightin’… still alive…
