Burning Spear - I W.I.N.

This race, this race
Come on it is this race
Is not for the swift
Is not for the swift
But for the smart
For the one who knows himself
Knows himself as the winner
I feel from within myself that I
First winner supposed to be
Supposed to be I
Hear them now after I win, hear them

Yeah-yea-yea-yea-yes
Yeah-yea-yea-yea-yes
Yeah-yea-yea-yea-yes

I don't want no vexation
Over this race, no
Over this race
No feelings no swell heart
No feelings no swell heart, no
Over this race, no no no
Over this race
No-o-o, no no no
No-o-o, no no no feelings
No swell heart

(..)

This race
This race
Come on it is this race
Come on it is this race
Is not for the swift
But for the smart
For the one who knows himself
Knows himself as the winner
I feel from within myself that
First winner supposed to be
Supposed to be I
Hear them now after I win, hear them
Hear them, yeah
Hear them singing, yeah
You should see them, yeah
Come on and hear them, yeah
Come on and see them, yeah

This race, yeah
I know that, yeah
Yeah, this race, this race
Yeah, this race, this race
Yeah, this race
