[Chorus: Muhammad Muwakil] Trinidad ah come from but ah don't sing bout rum I'm a born soldier check me meditation Father raise me right and me mother make strong I'm a born soldier check me meditation Love lift me up tell me who go bring me down I'm a born soldier check me meditation Standing firm this new generation I'm a born soldier check me meditation [Verse 1: Bunji Garlin] Check check check! Check we ID, we ancestral lineage in d library I laugh at d chain up and d things I see Cause I'm d trini who doh follow everything I see Worldly artifacts they want to bring by me, TO WHAT! Dem thing can't faze a king like me When dem brainwash demself with oversea TV I find a way to be myself real easy Cause I'm a Trinidad Soldier of revelation I alone bad like a rebel nation I use shining bush as meh medication West Indian Reader began my education My common sense higher than dem elevation I see when dem political devil may come Drive on dem like a licence van on Wrightson Wrestle dem just like a Wallerfield Field bison Mud water and milk to cure d snake poison Through d bush we send a message faster than Verizon This is Bunji Garlin longside Freetown We free d music and free d song [Chorus: Muhammad Muwakil] Trinidad ah come from but ah don't sing bout rum I'm a born soldier check me meditation Father raise me right and me mother make strong I'm a born soldier check me meditation Love lift me up tell me who go bring me down I'm a born soldier check me meditation Standing firm this new generation I'm a born soldier check me meditation [Verse 2: Lou Lyons] I want to be Who I want to be Why you want to put another thing in front ah me Say from birth! I never fit dem pants and shirt Kings a d earth and I know what I worth Never you trust them not for a minute Always on d screen coming with another gimmick I push it to d limit Whatever you believe in It is your prerogative so do it if you willing My brother stop d killing Cause all we kill is rhythm Musically given and we driven and I told yuh (and I already told yuh aye) Man ah born soldier (dat ah man ah born soldier aye) And d message is we chrome yeah (and d message is d chrome yeah aye) So don't let dem control yuh (so don't let dem control yuh aye) [Chorus: Muhammad Muwakil] Trinidad ah come from but ah don't sing bout rum I'm a born soldier check me meditation Father raise me right and me mother make strong I'm a born soldier check me meditation Love lift me up tell me who go bring me down I'm a born soldier check me meditation Standing firm this new generation I'm a born soldier check me meditation [Verse 3: Muhammad Muwakil] Well gimme something new And gimme something fresh Well gimme something that you never give nobody yet I want to hear your soul when it talking Heart when it beating I'll never leave you alone (yeah yeah!) And yes d battle might be critical But damage is a minimal My Father is d general I cannot be no criminal No we never giving up Not until we reach d top Blessings just overflow [Chorus: Muhammad Muwakil] Trinidad ah come from but ah don't sing bout rum I'm a born soldier check me meditation Father raise me right and me mother make strong I'm a born soldier check me meditation Love lift me up, tell me who go bring me down I'm a born soldier check me meditation Standing firm this new generation I'm a born soldier check me meditation Oooooh (I'm a born soldier check me meditation) Yeaaaah (I'm a born soldier check me meditation) Oooooh aaaaaah (I'm a born soldier check me meditation) Aaahh (I'm a born soldier check me meditation) Oooh (I'm a born soldier check me meditation) Oooh (I'm a born soldier check me meditation)
