(Verse 1)
From the heart of South Central Freetown, where the mountains meet the sky
Fullah Town and Mountain Cut, we hear the children cry
Years of tribulation, long nights in the dark
But the youths of Firestone, they went and struck the spark
No more waiting on the corner, no more political scheme
We gathering the massive to fulfill the nation's dream.
(Chorus)
Firestone, Firestone, rising from the ground
Building up the future inna Fullah Town!
Action over talk-talk, that is the decree
Lifting up the youths for all the world to see
Firestone, Firestone, stand up proud and strong
In this sweet salvation, hear the reggae song!
(Verse 2)
Remember two thousand and three, the victory was won
NaCSA and the ministry, the building had begun
Six classrooms of hope, standing in the light
The Firestone Primary School, shining ever bright
Teaching all the little ones to read and to write
Turning away the darkness, stepping into the light.
(Chorus)
Firestone, Firestone, rising from the ground
Building up the future inna Fullah Town!
Action over talk-talk, that is the decree
Lifting up the youths for all the world to see
Firestone, Firestone, stand up proud and strong
In this sweet salvation, hear the reggae song!
(Bridge)
Beside the Nicol Stream where Bone Suffer, where the waters used to overflow
We clearing out the wreckage, making space for seeds to grow
Vocational training, skills for every hand
Reclaiming every corner of our beautiful land
From Freetown City Council down to the global space
We bringing peace and unity to this holy place.

Building up the future inna Fullah Town!
