Tarrus Riley - Nobody Knows

Nobody knows, when you cry
Nobody feels, the pain inside
You're all alone and you'll have to face
Persecution, the trial, and tribulation
Nobody owes you anything
And as you grow, a so you see
It's all about standing up on your feet
Fend for yourself and I know it no easy

Success has many fathers
When you fail you're just like an orphan
And dem will love you, when things a gwaan
But you nah go see dem when your things dem gone
Trouble knocking on my door, frustration a visit
Trodding with the Most High, so everything legit
Never seen anything prayer can't fix
No have no fear, don't have no fear

Nobody can hold you down
Inna rough waters, you swim or you drown
Don't play the fool, don't you act like a clown
Rise above all trial and tribulation
Like Marcus say, "Rule your destiny"
It's up to you, it's up to me
Now is the time, stand up firm on your feet
Got to survive and I know it no easy

Success have many fathers
When you fail you're just like an orphan
Everybody love you, when things a gwaan (ha!)
But nah go see dem when da things dem gone
Trouble knocking on my door, frustration a visit
But me trodding with the Most High, so everything legit
Never seen anything prayer can't fix
Nah no fear, no nah no fear

Nobody knows, when you cry
Nobody feels, the pain inside
You're all alone and you'll have to face
Persecution, the trial, and tribulation
Nobody owes you anything
And as you grow, a so you see
It's all about standing up on your feet
Fend for yourself and I know it no easy

Success has many fathers
When you fail you're just like an orphan
And dem will love you, when things a gwaan
But you nah go see dem when your things dem gone
Trouble knocking on my door, frustration a visit
Trodding with the Most High, so everything legit
Never seen anything prayer can't fix
No have no fear, don't have no fear

Nobody can hold you down
Inna rough waters, you swim or you drown
Don't play the fool, don't you act like a clown
Rise above all trial and tribulation
Like Marcus say, "Rule your destiny"
It's up to you, it's up to me
Now is the time, stand up firm on your feet
Got to survive and I know it no easy

Success have many fathers
When you fail you're just like an orphan
Everybody love you, when things a gwaan (ha!)
But nah go see dem when da things dem gone
Trouble knocking on my door, frustration a visit
But me trodding with the Most High, so everything legit...
