lyrics

HUMBLE UP
Gogo Jean Michel Francis


Humble up, humble up, humble up
children,
you think you got it all
but nothing last forever.
Humble up, humble up, humble up
children,
you think you're great and all,
what you gonna do when it's game over…

I see the bling and the glitter
and the glamour like a tumor
spreading all over
on the minds of the younger and the older
dem spreading stardom
all over,
don't you ever try and big up the shooting star
from the hood
it ain't good
coz attitude rules,
attitude rules…
And tell them real kings and queens need no spotlight to rule
ain't no good
coz attitude rules,
attitude rules…

and there's no one to tell them

Humble up, humble up, humble up
children,
you think you got it all
but nothing last forever.
Humble up, humble up, humble up
children,
you think you're great and all,
what you gonna do when it's game over…

Beware of the people you pass over
on your way to the top
for you'll sure meet them
on your way down, my bredren.
There is always a higher mountain
than the one you‘re standing on
and a greater one will sure grow later on

so me can't stand what's going on in this place,
what me see is just a big disgrace,
attitude rules, attitude rules…
And me see brothers dissing down sisters,
mothers dissing down fathers,
attitude rules, attitude rules…

and there's no one to tell them

Humble up, humble up, humble up
children,
you think you got it all
but nothing last forever.
Humble up, humble up, humble up
children,
and I say, oh,
enjoy the fruits of your work my bredren
but don’t you ever forget
it’s all a gift from the Almighty one...

Humble up, humble up, humble up
children…
