Lyrics: Beenie Man. Heights Of Great Men.

Yes, yes mon, a mi mon
It just like di 4 elements of life, yuh know
Earth wind water and fire
And none can work widout di other, yuh know
But yuh see some man seh dat dem fi run di business

A wha a gwaan mon [unverified] yo
Dem a talk 'bout more fire, mi a talk 'bout more prayer
We pray for water mek it wash down bag-a-walla
Dem a talk 'bout more fire, we a talk 'bout more prayer
We this yah tune dat ago mek some DJ talk some more, but wha

Heights of great men reach and kept
We're not attained by sudden flight
Gee while their companions slept
Very ackwardtile in through the night

Heights of great men reach and kept
We're not attained by sudden flight
Gee while their companions slept
Very ackwardtile in through the night

Cool, a who dem seh dem a fight deh, a who dem seh dem go light
Selassie overthroned him never tek nobody's stripe
A who dem a seh man nasty [unverified] and dem nuh smell so right
A nuff a dem deh dutty dread nuh bath under pipe

Mi see seh dat look envious mi know it obvious
And if mi never war wid him I know him wouldn't buss
Yuh should have thanked mi first, I am da genius
Like how yuh dissed though dat a small exodus

Cool, mi check, mi hear how yuh waan bun Bill Clinton
Mi use fi hear how yuh waan bun all maamaman
Mi use fi hear how yuh waan bun all lesbian
So tell mi how di hell yuh go sign to Def Jam when [unverified]

Heights of great men reach and kept
We're not attained by sudden flight
Gee while their companions slept
Very ackwardtile in through the night

Heights of great men reach and kept
We're not attained by sudden flight
Gee while their companions slept
Very ackwardtile in through the night

Cool mi go call him mi go tek it pon a level
Hoped yuh were di first Selassie seh dem a di devel
Now I mek some DJ get uncomfortable
Well I am di rain fi mek all fire fuzzle

Well mi haffi wonder if a dem seh dem come a sizzle
Yuh dead in New York so how dead man fi risin'?
Well, we kill people dem dead and forgotten
Wait this yah dupyman come fi cause trouble, but hear mi sing

Heights of great men reach and kept
We're not attained by sudden flight
Gee while their companions slept
Very ackwardtile in through the night

Heights of great men reach and kept
We're not attained by sudden flight
Gee while their companions slept
Very ackwardtile in through the night

But a talk bout more fire, mi a give dem more prayer
Mi pray fi rain and mek it wash down bag-a-walla
Dem a talk bout more fire, mi a give dem more fire
Well this a tune dat ago mek some DJ talk some more

So all di war yuh see dem a war
And all di fuss yuh see dem a throw
Dem can get mi out

So all di fight yuh see dem a fight
And all di buss dem waan fi buss

Heights of great men reach and kept
We're not attained by sudden flight
Gee while their companions slept

Heights of great men reach and kept
We're not attained by sudden flight
Gee while their companions slept
Very ackwardtile in through the night

Heights of great men reach and kept
We're not attained by sudden flight

Heights of great men reach and kept

Heights of great men reach and kept
We're not attained by sudden flight
Gee while their companions slept
Very ackwardtile in through the night
