Chorus: 
Heights of great men reach and kept 
were not attained by sudden flight 
but while their companions slept 
were toiling through the night
Heights of great men reach and kept 
were not attained by sudden flight 
but while their companions slept 
were toiling through the night


Verse 1: 
Cool, a who dem seh dem a fight deh, a who dem seh dem go light

A who dem a seh man nasty?? and dem nuh smell so right

Chorus: 
Heights of great men reach and kept
