[Intro — Male, gritty] Yeah, yeah! From New York to di Caribbean! Dime lo que hay! Different languages, one purpose. We nuh stop growin’, yuh hear? Every day, elevation. [Verse 1 — Male, English / Drill] I put my time in the work, let the character show, You can plant good seeds, watch a whole tree grow. No overnight fame, I got plans to achieve, Put the truth in the rhythm, give the youth what they need. Mind on the mission, both feet on the ground, When the pressure gets heavy, I don’t fold, I adapt. Turn a lesson to wisdom, put the wisdom in action, Build a life with direction, let the work bring traction. No need for the image, let the substance speak, Real strength stays steady when the road gets steep. I ain’t racing your clock, I got goals of my own, Build a solid foundation, make the whole thing strong. For the family, the future, the people around, Keep your word, stay humble, let your principles count. Every skill got a purpose, every talent can serve, When you know what you stand for, give the world what it’s worth. [Pre-Hook — Female, melodic] Respira profundo, vuelve a empezar, Cada paso consciente te puede elevar. No es lo que aparentas, es lo que tú das, Con paciencia y propósito, tú llegarás. [Hook — Male + Female + Group Chant] We rise up! (Rise up!) Pa’lante, no fear! (Pa’lante!) One step, one goal, put the vision in gear, Wi deh yah fi build, mek di message ring clear! We rise up! (Rise up!) Con fuerza y visión! Good heart, clear mind, put your hands to the mission. Más sabiduría, más dedicación! [Verse 2 — Male, Jamaican Patwah / Drill] Mi nah chase hype, mi a build up di skill, Learn from di past, keep mi eyes pon di hill. Nuh wait pon luck, put di work inna place, Move with intention, keep a calm steady pace. From di ends to di island, let di young ones know, Yuh can change your direction, let your real self show. Education a key, discipline a di door, When yuh learn something useful, share it wid more. Nuh compare your chapter to somebody else’s page, Every season teach a lesson, every stage got a change. Keep a plan, check di facts, mek your next move wise, Plant good seeds today, watch tomorrow arise. If your brother need guidance, share the tools that you know, Community gets stronger when we all help it grow. We nuh need fi divide just to prove we are strong, Different roots, shared respect, everybody belong. [Verse 3 — Female, Caribbean Spanish] Yo camino con visión, con respeto y dignidad, No confundo lo que brilla con la prosperidad. La riqueza es tener paz, tener algo que aportar, Desarrollar lo que sabemos, aprender y progresar. De Loíza hasta el Bronx, que retumbe el barril, Bomba marca nuestras raíces, nuestro ritmo sigue aquí. Con los pies sobre la tierra y la mirada hacia el sol, Cada quien puede aportar con talento y corazón. No se trata de ser perfecto, se trata de mejorar, Si una puerta se te cierra, otra forma has de buscar. Con paciencia y estrategia, con valor para insistir, Lo que aprendes hoy te ayuda a construir tu porvenir. La cultura es cómo vives, cómo cuidas a los demás, Lo que enseñas con tus actos, lo que siembras y lo que das. Que la música nos una, que nos lleve a reflexionar, Con propósito en la vida, hay caminos que explorar. [Bridge — Patwah + Spanish, melodic] Male: Step by step, mi nah lose mi way. Female: Día tras día, creciendo en la fe. Male: Keep your mind clear, mek your actions align. Female: Lo que haces hoy construye tu mañana y tu vida. [Group Chant — Call and Response] Leader: Who build the future? Group: WE DO! Leader: Who bring the knowledge? Group: WE DO! Leader: ¿Quién lleva el cambio? Group: ¡LA GENTE! Leader: How we move forward? Group: SMART AND CONSISTENT! Male: Nuh just talk, put di work pon di ground! Female: ¡Que se escuche el mensaje por cada rincón! Group: BUILD WITH PURPOSE! ¡CRECE CON VISIÓN! [Final Hook — Full Cast] We rise up! (Rise up!) Pa’lante, no fear! (Pa’lante!) One step, one goal, put the vision in gear, Wi deh yah fi build, mek di message ring clear! We rise up! (Rise up!) Con fuerza y visión! Good heart, clear mind, put your hands to the mission. Más sabiduría, más dedicación! [Outro — Male + Female] Male: From New York to Jamaica, let the good work speak. Female: Del Caribe al mundo, creciendo cada semana. Male: More skill, more purpose, more wisdom to share. Female: Más amor por la gente, más conciencia al caminar. Both: Different tongues, one elevation. Cultura, propósito, transformation. Keep building. Keep learning. Pa’lante — we’re still growing.
