Note To Self
Tell me what you’re ready for
Tell me what you’re ready for
We Ready fi di feeling now
We never gonna be let down no We Ready fi go seal it now
And It’s heaven when we set it
And we wheel it out now
We Ready fi di feeling now
We never gonna be let down no We Ready fi go seal it now
And It’s heaven when we set it
And we wheel it out now
What is in an open road
That should frighten you
And make you lose your composure
The mind can be your greatest foe When you do not know
What’s lurking over your shoulder But inner Chi will light your way
It’s not accidentally in the life of a soldier
In this battle for a brighter day
It’s of yourself you slay
The thing that try to hold ya
So just forget about the past mistakes and all that didn’t take
And all the non believers
We sight the one who don’t have what it takes
And love to war and trace
No they can not deceive us
The sun come out to shine on every face
And in a blazing phase it strips away the pretense
They lose their way trying to keep the pace While we effortless breaking down defenses
We ready fi di feeling now
We never gonna be let down no We ready fi go seal it now
And It’s heaven when we set it
And wheel it out now
We ready fi di feeling now
We never gonna be let down no We ready fi go seal it now
And It’s heaven when we set it
And we wheel it out now
I don’t know when I let this voice of dissent
Come in and mess with my head
When I‘m so naturally blessed Yes the sacrifices I people made Reparations are still unpaid
But my potential is unrestrained And I’m about to reveal it now
I just forget about the past mistakes and all that didn’t take
And all the non believers
We sight the one who don’t have what it takes
And love to war and trace
No they can not deceive us
The sun come out to shine on every face
And in a blazing phase it strips away the pretense
They lose their way trying to keep the pace While we effortless breaking down defense
Cause we ready fi di feeling now
We never gonna be let down no
We Ready fi go seal it now
And It’s heaven when we set it And we wheel it out now
We ready fi di feeling now
We never gonna be let down no We ready fi go seal it now
And It’s heaven when we set it
And we wheel it out now
We ready fi di feeling now
We never gonna be let down no We ready fi go seal it now
And It’s heaven when we set it
And we wheel it out now
We ready fi di feeling now
We never gonna be let down no
We ready fi go seal it now And It’s heaven when we set it
And we wheel it out now
Tell me what you’re ready for Tell me what you’re ready for
To each his own
Each man stands alone
We each must bring
A sacrifice or an offering
And what we pay, will be weighed
When we meet our judgment day
So keep it light as a feather
And fly away
These days it seems that everyone is on some twisted mission
To make a great impression
To boost their likes and ratings
Faking friendship just to get ahead
As jaded as the walking dead
Becoming the norm as corruption spread
But truth is always waiting
Much of what we’ve been taught to love or fear, are just moments on the journey here
We must choose what we keep Or let go Believe what your told or seek and go know
To each his own
Each man stands alone
We each must bring,
A sacrifice or an offering
And what we pay, will be weighed
When we meet our judgment day
So keep it light as a feather
And fly away
Nuff a dem claim dem righteous tru dem seh Ital,
No meat, very little salt or sweet
Tru dem fit and full of intelligence
With great confidence to just speak
But we see seh dem secretly full of fear
And so hopelessly unaware
Of how a loving heart and peaceful thoughts Keep the conscience clear
So we say caution to the scornful
Your pride is gonna be your downfall
Be humble when you’re corrected, receive it willingly and be grateful
Because love is what a one is expected to use To effectively govern decision
So with all the long term planning and precision you ready if di mission?
To each his own
Each man stands alone
We each must bring a sacrifice or an offering and what we pay will be weighed when we meet our judgment day so keep it light as a feather
And fly away
Fly away From the social drama Fly away
From the theatres of war
Fly away
From the minstrel show karma Fly away
Into full bloom and power
I am a pillar of strength
Firm at the core
I and I sisters and brothers will endure
What we represents together is concentrated pure
Unselfish, raw, creation, law, Order, Divine, 0 to 9
My mind travels back and forth Between all of the different things
I have to be Contemplating the wisdom of my steps… Taken, and to come.
Observing the consequences and outcomes already exposed… the weight of expectations, legitimate or not…
And even how these very words may ricochet in this glass room
Words may not say Exactly how I’m feeling The hurt and the hate And the love I’m receiving
I’m gonna be ok I tell myself while I’m breathing It’s gonna be ok
Remember seh JAH not sleeping
Even when the news channel Weh di tv deh pon
Showing leaders brandishing atomic weapon
Threatening world peace, spreading mass depression
And then Divide and lead the youths dem in the wrong direction
Still I can feel the almighty working
When I take a deep breath and do likkle searching
I an I find, Jah love is infinite
Future looking quite fine
But even if it isn’t…
I’m going to be okay (that’s what I tell myself)
I’m going to be okay (nah watch nobody else)
I’m going to be okay (a note to self) I’m going to be okay (okay okay)
Stress is a common threat To my happiness Mm
But if I let it get too deep (too deep) in a depressive state
I tell myself be strong and gwan hold the faith
I tell myself there’s reason to celebrate
Things will be great But even if it isn’t
I’m going to be okay (that’s what I tell myself)
I’m going to be okay (nah watch nobody else)
I’m going to be okay (a note to self) I’m going to be okay (okay)
Persecution is a lesson to bare
And any road that I chose Could be bringing it nearer to me
But there’s a lesson if I let go the fear
That is the code for the goals And it’s making it clearer to me
Sometimes I feel so much that I get over come
But Jah love is real and surely that is where the lesson coming from
And even if it isn’t
I’m going to be okay (that’s what I tell myself) I’m going to be okay (nah watch nobody else) I’m going to be okay (a note to self) I’m going to be okay (Everything is gonna be okay)
But even if it isn’t
I’m… okay
Traveling through inner space, Slowing at a constant pace
Focused and relaxing at the same time
Deconstruct reality, then set it how you’d like it to be,
Break the chains and take free; it’s the same crime since slave times
Do what you’ve been taught to do never what you ought to do
Keep it all inside till the time is right
Hold your tongue or hold your breath
Let either lead to certain death
Let it drift away as you pass the light.

I am a social scientist gathering information
Observing different cultures in each of the various nation
Trodding incognito As a Rastafari artist
Instigating revolution with anyone willing to start it
Marketing the mission
As a spiritual experience
And using the opportunity to do some Major reconnaissance
To find out how my people living On the black continents
So we can determine a plan for resistance
And mount an effective defense
As a way
A way a way a way over

We calling the healer and the engineers
Teachers and creatorsImpressing on them the urgency
Even helping to process their paper
Sake a common ancestral influence
We sure to find a few
Who not just ready to take instruction
But already know what to do
Those who’ve been reading and preparing
Burning passionately from time
Awaiting engagement Of dem spirit and dem mind
And now that time is upon us Sisters brothers ready your station
For the victory is eminent
Once we commence these activations
Will find it There is a will in I that will not be silenced born of the first race now of the new race
We who have emerged out of their history of violence against us
Now we’re fully cognizant of how Jah bless us
and we’re finding a way
A way a way a way over
A way a way out
A way a way a way over
A way a way out
A way a way a way over
A way a way out
Finding a way a way a way over
Akala: The way over’s the way out’s the way in
Seek knowledge and look within
All of the things that we’ve been mistaught
But still we learning I’m so bored to see you distraught It’s really hurting
The world is colder than I ever thought
But Still we burning
A solder can’t mistake war for sport
And that for certain The person, the individual or the collective
All of these things and mean so much more
What’s your perspective
Neglected histories remain hidden
And that’s on purpose
But all we‘ve got to do is some digging
And they resurface We’re often so focused
On how things have become
We forget how many victories
That we have won
A debt that’s ancestoral I bet a man bet you
That the best you can get You are still lesser than special
But the way outs the way within
We cannot face everything
But before we can even begin
We must look within
For a way over
A way out way over
A way out way over
A way out way over
A way out
Oooooo
Hey you (Hey)
I’m still here (I know)
Remember us (I see)
Hey you (you can’t hide )
I’m still here (Who you are)
Remember us (from me)
I remember you (always, all ways)
I remember you
Joseph didn’t mean it
But what he caused within his brothers
Was a feeling.
Deep seated insecurity.
Whatever issues inherited where from family
For love and hate are one and the same
It’s the mind of man that changes
So I could be your brother I’ll still become your enemy
If you begin to feel me a threat to what you’re building for yourself
Economics have you thinking there is scarcity
So the power that you tasted
You didn’t want to waste on me but
Hey you (Hey)
I’m still here (I know)
Remember us (I see)
Hey you (you can’t hide )
I’m still here (Who you are)
Remember us (from me)
I remember you (always, all ways)
I remember you
If you remember Joseph never lost his way
The light that made them envious
Remained and guided him greatness
And when they needed him he was able
To extend salvation from the grips of starvation
Life is funny that way.
For all that I thought had been taken from me
I needed to shed it wasn’t mine to begin with
And all I see you holding on to
Doesn’t even belong to you
And it’s weighing you down
So now you don’t want me around to see but
Hey you (Hey) I’m still here (I know)
Remember us (I see) Hey you (you can’t hide )
I’m still here (Who you are) Remember us (from me)
I remember you (always, all ways) I remember you
Tried to make me a victim
But I resisted I know u remember my fitness (I remember you)
I blame the whole system
Such a bloody shame
Relationship slain because of ambition (I remember you)
Lives wasted
Chasing money dreams
And now you’re beautiful light it seems is fading
But I remember (I remember you) I remember (I remember you)
You are not a king
You are just a pawn
Scattering the seeds from which the masses will be born
The Emphasis to place on the space you put your tail shows just the kind of weakness that would cause a race the fail
Where did you get it in your head that’s the value are you possess was determined by efficiency of taking off my dress Huh?
Who taught you what it means to be a man don’t blame the absence of a father
Blame the absence of a plan blame the system that would have you drugged and sexing off for sport
Blame the rich when you steal
Then when they catch you blame the court
blame the girls that told you yes
blame the girl that told you no
blame the girl that was your mother
blame it on the way you grow
So many things you have the opportunity to use as your excuse when you lose
But what if all you had to do to win was to learn from the example of the king
But he don’t love highly always on the low
Heart overfull but he don’t want it to show
He don’t love highly Ever feeling down draining the energy when ever he around
He don’t love highly
So the chance is kind of slim not taking no
Time to give Ises unto him who is the light
And the law the truth and he way
So i can’t let him get to me
GQ pimp type hustling fly Helping himself to the bulk of the pie
Never complained when the sign did a show now everything is crumbling wouldn’t you know
Fast pace brain freeze Sikkling Heart
Fearing a future Before the start Of the moves that will lead him Astray
Unless Haile is leading the way
But he don’t love highly always on the low
Heart overfull but he don’t want it to show
He don’t love highly ever feeling down Draining the energy when ever he’s around
He don’t love highlySo the chance is kind of slim
Not taking no time To give Ises unto him
Who is the light and the law The truth and the way
So i can’t let him get to me
For he don’t love highlyHe don’t love highlyHe don’t love highly
He don’t love highly
So he’s falling
I can’t let him get to me
No I can’t let him get to me
I can’t let him get to me
No I can’t let him get to me

(Give thanks for H.I.M Emperor Haile Selassie the First and Empress Menin)
I take a risk I let him inI am afraid I admit to him
This type of surrender Wasn’t on the agenda
But the love from this bredda Is inspiring
Him don’t have no moneyHim still kinda young
A lover and a fighter
But a Jah sen him come This type of surrender wasn’t on the agenda
But I find that this bredda
Is i reflection
Love has found I Finally For I heart him bring the healing
Him learn from the example of the King
Love has found I Finally Taking it slow But not letting go!
I’m not one to trust
A man full of lust
I don’t fish for compliment I’m real serious
But love from the lion Brings access to Zion
And the queen him rely on
Fulfills her purpose
I journey as omega
Is to Keep alpha strong
I compliment his nature
And define his function
So love from the lion Brings access to
Zion Masculine and feminine United as one
Love has found I Finally
For I heart him bring the healing
Him learn from the example
of the King
Love has found I Finally
Taking it slow
But not letting go!
I feel like Empress Menin When she just sight the King For the first time
She was a little older
But he was the holder Of the key to her heart
All the struggles and lessons and the heart ache
How much can one woman’s heart take
Til Haile step een Like something from a dream
The conquering Lion
Turned a girl Into a queen
Love has found I Finally
For I heart him bring the healing
Him learn from the example of the King
Love has found I Finally Taking it slow
But not letting go!
I take a risk
I let him in
I am not afraid I trust the king
Haile Selassie Seal the trinity
With Empress Menin
And show man how Fi get the power
Through the reuniting
Duality is evidence
We both are the same
One in the principle
Just two separate name
Reminder of the balance
That we have to maintain
The peace is it possible to gain
Now that
Love has found I
Finally For I heart him bring the healing
Him learn from the example of the King
Love has found I
Finally
Taking it slow
But not letting go!

I give thanks for everyone who has given and taken from me on this trod:
My teachers, my students.
I feel you too… listening, doing your own rough work… more strength on your own journey
Perfect love
Tell me what you see
When u look at me, oo
Tell me do u know
How high how low
Can u see the road
The soul of a poet
The mind of a poet
The body of the goddess
And the heart of the king
She blessed and she know it
Serene when she show it JAH JAH fire blazing
In the voice when she sing
Her life is invested
Her faith has been tested
The fruit of her ambition
Is surrender to the promise
Of eternal life
Because she know the Heights
I see her in my reflection
I recognize her face
But when I focus I notice She is in another place
And she smiling Rested Peaceful and free Makes me wonder if it could be me
Could it be me
Her heart is contented Her lips have repented
Forgiveness is the method
That she uses to deal
All her expectations
Have been tempered by patience
Forged like a sword of the greatest steel
Now her days now are all splendid The worries have ended
Skillful when deciphering the symbols on the journey to eternal life
Because she know the height
I see her in my reflection
I recognize her face
But when I focus
I notice
She is in another place
And she whispering Something That I wish I could hear
Makes me want to be there
Makes me want To be there
Could it be, could it be me
Could it be, could it be me
The soul of a poet
The mind of a poet
The body of the goddess
And the heart of the king
She blessed and she know it
Serene when she show it JAH JAH fire blazing
In the voice when she sing
Her life is invested
Her faith has been tested
The fruit of her ambition Is surrender to the promise of eternal life
Because she know the Heights, ooo
I see her in my reflection
I recognize her face
But when I focus
I notice
She is in another place
And she smiling Rested Peaceful and free
Makes me wonder if it could be me
Could it be me
It is written that faith is the substance of things unseen.
This only holds true if one can grasp and appreciate the limitless nature of intelligent design at work, within the UNSEEN.
To cast the seeds of my imagination and know with certainty that fruit is on the way… there is a way.
It takes knowing to trust the unknown
So faith is not belief… it’s knowing
Removing doubt as I make note of every personal victory one at a time.
Reawakening and restoring the Most High within myself as I study her… me… I
And knowing Iself… is mastery
One who is ready… will do the work.

Humble me more and more
The heights jus a show an the bliss jus a show
and a humble mi more and more
The more that I learn show the little that I know
And it humble mi more and more
The truth set me free and encourages me
As it humble mi more and more
Humble mi more and more
There is so much to fear they say so many unknowns
there are those who would scorch the face of the earth
in a selfish game of thrones
some have learned of the mysteries
and are forcing the world to comply, but give thanks
the source of the sacred is encoded in I and I
When I tune into the frequency
none of the stains of adversity
distract from the real I know
of the power Im connected to
Yes it jus a Humble me more and more

and a humble mi more and more
The more that I learn show the little that I know

The truth set me free and encourages me
As it humble mi more and more
Humble mi more and more
I used to be so sure of things then life began to change
the world becomes a smaller place an overcrowded stage
ambition is the overkill but I am not its slave
so I take away to take a breath and fit how I behave
As I let go of the expectations
I start to feel everything go dark
A new found sense finds its activation
blazing wild fire from i heart
one mind ignited finds its way
and everything following is even greater
all I thought I knew melts away
when clay becomes creator
it jus a Humble me more and more
The heights jus a show an the bliss jus a show
and a humble mi more and more
The more that I learn show the little that I know
And it humble mi more and more
The truth set me free and encourages me
As it humble mi more and more
Humble mi more and more
As I let go of the expectations
I start to feel everything go dark
A new found sense finds its activation
blazing wild fire from i heart
one mind ignited finds its way
and everything following is even greater
all I thought I knew melts away
when clay becomes creator
It jus a Humble me
oh it jus a Humble me
Humble me more and more
Do it with all your heart and prosper
Do it with just a part and fail
The service is the worship
So let the will of the most high prevail
when you do it with all your heart and prosper
do it with just a part and fail
the service is the worship
so that the will of the most high prevail
The harvest is plenty the fruits a ripe and drop
too many distracted by the rat race to the top
but I and I optimistic
seh Jah nuh make no mistake
confident in all we do and say
cause I and I trodding it the most high way
When we Do it with all heart and prosper
Do it with just a part and fail
The service is the worship
So let the will of the most high prevail
when you do it with all your heart and prosper
do it with just a part and fail
the service is the worship
so that the will of the most high prevail
Some people want to destruction of their enemies
so that is when they activate
orchestrating vicious strategies
motivated by hate the soulless lay in wait
a generation of vipers
plotting to constrict to the flow
so I and I must know when to to let go
And just do it with all your heart and prosper
Do it with just a part and fail
The service is the worship
So let the will of the most high prevail
when you do it with all your heart and prosper
do it with just a part and fail
the service is the worship
so that the will of the most high prevail
Kingdom first, all of the feelings must come after
I put Jah first, I mind field awaits for I to master
there must be no malice in me
I journey into self to secure I strength and wealth
And overcome the pressure with laughter
When I do it with all i heart i prosper
Do it with just a part and fail
The service is the worship
So let the will of the most high prevail
when you do it with all your heart and prosper
do it with just a part and fail
the service is the worship
so that the will of the most high prevail
so that the will of the most high prevail
My mind travels back and forth Between all of the different things
I have to be Contemplating the wisdom of my steps… Taken, and to come.
Observing the consequences and outcomes already exposed… the weight of expectations, legitimate or not…
And even how these very words may ricochet in this glass room
Words may not say Exactly how I’m feeling The hurt and the hate And the love I’m receiving
I’m gonna be ok I tell myself while I’m breathing It’s gonna be ok
Remember seh JAH not sleeping
Even when the news channel Weh di tv deh pon
Showing leaders brandishing atomic weapon
Threatening world peace, spreading mass depression
And then Divide and lead the youths dem in the wrong direction
Still I can feel the almighty working
When I take a deep breath and do likkle searching
I an I find, Jah love is infinite
Future looking quite fine
But even if it isn’t…
I’m going to be okay (that’s what I tell myself)
I’m going to be okay (nah watch nobody else)
I’m going to be okay (a note to self) I’m going to be okay (okay okay)
Stress is a common threat To my happiness Mm
But if I let it get too deep (too deep) in a depressive state
I tell myself be strong and gwan hold the faith
I tell myself there’s reason to celebrate
Things will be great But even if it isn’t
I’m going to be okay (that’s what I tell myself)
I’m going to be okay (nah watch nobody else)
I’m going to be okay (a note to self) I’m going to be okay (okay)
Persecution is a lesson to bare
And any road that I chose Could be bringing it nearer to me
But there’s a lesson if I let go the fear
That is the code for the goals And it’s making it clearer to me
Sometimes I feel so much that I get over come
But Jah love is real and surely that is where the lesson coming from
And even if it isn’t
I’m going to be okay (that’s what I tell myself) I’m going to be okay (nah watch nobody else) I’m going to be okay (a note to self) I’m going to be okay (Everything is gonna be okay)
But even if it isn’t
I’m… okay
Traveling through inner space, Slowing at a constant pace
Focused and relaxing at the same time
Deconstruct reality, then set it how you’d like it to be,
Break the chains and take free; it’s the same crime since slave times
Do what you’ve been taught to do never what you ought to do
Keep it all inside till the time is right
Hold your tongue or hold your breath
Let either lead to certain death
Let it drift away as you pass the light.
(Why don’t you) Let me help you find yourself inside your other mind
Step outside and leave behind the worries of that other kind
Let me help you find yourself inside that other mind
Step outside, leave behind the worries of that other kind

I am a social scientist gathering information
Observing different cultures in each of the various nation
Trodding incognito As a Rastafari artist
Instigating revolution with anyone willing to start it
Marketing the mission
As a spiritual experience
And using the opportunity to do some Major reconnaissance
To find out how my people living On the black continents
So we can determine a plan for resistance
And mount an effective defense
As a way
A way a way a way over
A way a way out
A way a way a way over
A way a way out

A way a way out
Finding a way a way a way over
We calling the healer and the engineers
Teachers and creatorsImpressing on them the urgency
Even helping to process their paper
Sake a common ancestral influence
We sure to find a few
Who not just ready to take instruction
But already know what to do
Those who’ve been reading and preparing
Burning passionately from time
Awaiting engagement Of dem spirit and dem mind
And now that time is upon us Sisters brothers ready your station
For the victory is eminent
Once we commence these activations
Will find it There is a will in I that will not be silenced born of the first race now of the new race
We who have emerged out of their history of violence against us
Now we’re fully cognizant of how Jah bless us
and we’re finding a way
A way a way a way over
A way a way out
A way a way a way over
A way a way out
A way a way a way over
A way a way out
Finding a way a way a way over
Akala: The way over’s the way out’s the way in
Seek knowledge and look within
All of the things that we’ve been mistaught
But still we learning I’m so bored to see you distraught It’s really hurting
The world is colder than I ever thought
But Still we burning
A solder can’t mistake war for sport
And that for certain The person, the individual or the collective
All of these things and mean so much more
What’s your perspective
Neglected histories remain hidden
And that’s on purpose
But all we‘ve got to do is some digging
And they resurface We’re often so focused
On how things have become
We forget how many victories
That we have won
A debt that’s ancestoral I bet a man bet you
That the best you can get You are still lesser than special
But the way outs the way within
We cannot face everything
But before we can even begin
We must look within
For a way over
A way out way over
A way out way over
A way out way over
A way out
Oooooo
Hey you (Hey)
I’m still here (I know)
Remember us (I see)
Hey you (you can’t hide )
I’m still here (Who you are)
Remember us (from me)
I remember you (always, all ways)
I remember you
Joseph didn’t mean it
But what he caused within his brothers
Was a feeling.
Deep seated insecurity.
Whatever issues inherited where from family
For love and hate are one and the same
It’s the mind of man that changes
So I could be your brother I’ll still become your enemy
If you begin to feel me a threat to what you’re building for yourself
Economics have you thinking there is scarcity
So the power that you tasted
You didn’t want to waste on me but
Hey you (Hey)
I’m still here (I know)
Remember us (I see)
Hey you (you can’t hide )
I’m still here (Who you are)
Remember us (from me)
I remember you (always, all ways)
I remember you
If you remember Joseph never lost his way
The light that made them envious
Remained and guided him greatness
And when they needed him he was able
To extend salvation from the grips of starvation
Life is funny that way.
For all that I thought had been taken from me
I needed to shed it wasn’t mine to begin with
And all I see you holding on to
Doesn’t even belong to you
And it’s weighing you down
So now you don’t want me around to see but
Hey you (Hey) I’m still here (I know)
Remember us (I see) Hey you (you can’t hide )
I’m still here (Who you are) Remember us (from me)
I remember you (always, all ways) I remember you
Tried to make me a victim
But I resisted I know u remember my fitness (I remember you)
I blame the whole system
Such a bloody shame
Relationship slain because of ambition (I remember you)
Lives wasted
Chasing money dreams
And now you’re beautiful light it seems is fading
But I remember (I remember you) I remember (I remember you)
You are not a king
You are just a pawn
Scattering the seeds from which the masses will be born
The Emphasis to place on the space you put your tail shows just the kind of weakness that would cause a race the fail
Where did you get it in your head that’s the value are you possess was determined by efficiency of taking off my dress Huh?
Who taught you what it means to be a man don’t blame the absence of a father
Blame the absence of a plan blame the system that would have you drugged and sexing off for sport
Blame the rich when you steal
Then when they catch you blame the court
blame the girls that told you yes
blame the girl that told you no
blame the girl that was your mother
blame it on the way you grow
So many things you have the opportunity to use as your excuse when you lose
But what if all you had to do to win was to learn from the example of the king
But he don’t love highly always on the low
Heart overfull but he don’t want it to show
He don’t love highly Ever feeling down draining the energy when ever he around
He don’t love highly
So the chance is kind of slim not taking no
Time to give Ises unto him who is the light
And the law the truth and he way
So i can’t let him get to me
GQ pimp type hustling fly Helping himself to the bulk of the pie
Never complained when the sign did a show now everything is crumbling wouldn’t you know
Fast pace brain freeze Sikkling Heart
Fearing a future Before the start Of the moves that will lead him Astray
Unless Haile is leading the way
But he don’t love highly always on the low
Heart overfull but he don’t want it to show
He don’t love highly ever feeling down Draining the energy when ever he’s around
He don’t love highlySo the chance is kind of slim
Not taking no time To give Ises unto him
Who is the light and the law The truth and the way
So i can’t let him get to me
For he don’t love highlyHe don’t love highlyHe don’t love highly
He don’t love highly
So he’s falling
I can’t let him get to me
No I can’t let him get to me
I can’t let him get to me
No I can’t let him get to me

(Give thanks for H.I.M Emperor Haile Selassie the First and Empress Menin)
I take a risk I let him inI am afraid I admit to him
This type of surrender Wasn’t on the agenda
But the love from this bredda Is inspiring
Him don’t have no moneyHim still kinda young
A lover and a fighter
But a Jah sen him come This type of surrender wasn’t on the agenda
But I find that this bredda
Is i reflection
Love has found I Finally For I heart him bring the healing
Him learn from the example of the King
Love has found I Finally Taking it slow But not letting go!
I’m not one to trust
A man full of lust
I don’t fish for compliment I’m real serious
But love from the lion Brings access to Zion
And the queen him rely on
Fulfills her purpose
I journey as omega
Is to Keep alpha strong
I compliment his nature
And define his function
So love from the lion Brings access to
Zion Masculine and feminine United as one
Love has found I Finally
For I heart him bring the healing
Him learn from the example
of the King
Love has found I Finally
Taking it slow
But not letting go!
I feel like Empress Menin When she just sight the King For the first time
She was a little older
But he was the holder Of the key to her heart
All the struggles and lessons and the heart ache
How much can one woman’s heart take
Til Haile step een Like something from a dream
The conquering Lion
Turned a girl Into a queen
Love has found I Finally
For I heart him bring the healing
Him learn from the example of the King
Love has found I Finally Taking it slow
But not letting go!
I take a risk
I let him in
I am not afraid I trust the king
Haile Selassie Seal the trinity
With Empress Menin
And show man how Fi get the power
Through the reuniting
Duality is evidence
We both are the same
One in the principle
Just two separate name
Reminder of the balance
That we have to maintain
The peace is it possible to gain
Now that
Love has found I
Finally For I heart him bring the healing
Him learn from the example of the King
Love has found I
Finally
Taking it slow
But not letting go!

Singy Singy, 9 is willing

Say one word and I will be there
With the tools of my trade
Communion from evening to day (each day)
This music is my saving grace
If not for the music..I don’t know how
I woulda made it that’s the truth
With the pressure from slave mill
And the system on a little black youth
Even before I heard the calling
Words and rhythm haunted my dreams
Jumped outta sleep grab pen and paper
Expression has been my savior
From early we learn bout music
How it help you connect to the soul
And from the elders we learn bout the music
How it help you Regain control

Sent to set soul captives free
Inspired by the Almighty
Brought the purest healing to me, so

I will be there With the tools of my trade
Communion from evening to day(each day)
This music is my saving grace
Play, play, play

When will you tell me
Oo I’m ready
Why don’t you tell me
Mr. Bassman I just have to watch your fingers
Then just wait for inspiration to flow

Keep it upful for the message
I’m presenting to the people
And the drums gonna hold to the balance
And the order and the justice
And the truth and the love Maat in high hat, so just
Tell me when you’re ready to play
Say one word and I will be there
With the tools of my trade
Communion from evening to day (each day)
This music is my saving grace
Music is release, From suffering
Music soothes the beast,
That lies within
That’s why we keep the meditation optimistic
Redefining realistic
Creating universes while music
And it’s magic when we do it as a unit
So just tell me when you’re ready to play
Say one word and I will be there
With the tools of my trade
Communion from evening to day (each day)
This music is my saving grace

And it is an honour to be able to serve with it
Especially since it’s been serving I well.
I give thanks for everyone who has given and taken from me on this trod:
My teachers, my students.
I feel you too… listening, doing your own rough work… more strength on your own journey
Perfect love
Tell me what you see
When u look at me, oo
Tell me do u know
How high how low
Can u see the road
The soul of a poet
The mind of a poet
The body of the goddess
And the heart of the king
She blessed and she know it
Serene when she show it JAH JAH fire blazing
In the voice when she sing
Her life is invested
Her faith has been tested
The fruit of her ambition
Is surrender to the promise
Of eternal life
Because she know the Heights
I see her in my reflection
I recognize her face
But when I focus I notice She is in another place
And she smiling Rested Peaceful and free Makes me wonder if it could be me
Could it be me
Her heart is contented Her lips have repented
Forgiveness is the method
That she uses to deal
All her expectations
Have been tempered by patience
Forged like a sword of the greatest steel
Now her days now are all splendid The worries have ended
Skillful when deciphering the symbols on the journey to eternal life
Because she know the height
I see her in my reflection
I recognize her face
But when I focus
I notice
She is in another place
And she whispering Something That I wish I could hear
Makes me want to be there
Makes me want To be there
Could it be, could it be me
Could it be, could it be me
The soul of a poet
The mind of a poet
The body of the goddess
And the heart of the king
She blessed and she know it
Serene when she show it JAH JAH fire blazing
In the voice when she sing
Her life is invested
Her faith has been tested
The fruit of her ambition Is surrender to the promise of eternal life
Because she know the Heights, ooo
I see her in my reflection
I recognize her face
But when I focus
I notice
She is in another place
And she smiling Rested Peaceful and free
Makes me wonder if it could be me
Could it be me
It is written that faith is the substance of things unseen.
This only holds true if one can grasp and appreciate the limitless nature of intelligent design at work, within the UNSEEN.
To cast the seeds of my imagination and know with certainty that fruit is on the way… there is a way.
It takes knowing to trust the unknown
So faith is not belief… it’s knowing
Removing doubt as I make note of every personal victory one at a time.
Reawakening and restoring the Most High within myself as I study her… me… I
And knowing Iself… is mastery
One who is ready… will do the work.

I’m beginning to wonder about your intensions
Too many instances of deception
Too many alibis and excuses
Too many attempts to deny the abuses
Too many reasons to complain
Too many losses too little gain
The very existence is a strain on the people
I know cause I am woman so I can see
That life don’t reside where there isn’t no harmony
And I sing cause I care and wouldn’t want anybody
That I love to be circumstanced out of existence
Yes I’m beginning to wonder about your attention
where is it focusing in what direction
is your life force in execution
forming opinions or finding solutions
declaring the victim, sharing the blame
representing the potential for change but only in name
then with taxation and oppression put a strain on the people
I speak what I know; Words are reserved for the truth
Not perfect but aware of the example I set for the youth
And I sing cause I care and wouldn’t want none of these sons and daughters
To go astray when I could have paved the way
Yes I’m beginning to tire of all these expenses
Borne by the people relegated to zinc fences
Keeping the resources out of their reach
Breeding frustration with the values you teach
In the media everyday then deny them a way to attain it
But force them to work and maintain it and not take a share
Then the police force the fear into the brains of the people
I know from experience that the system is flawed and unfair
So I live outside it as much as I possibly dare
and I sing for justice in a time when the people
may be too distracted to even care
my voice will still be there
The people have to work so hard while those with the power keep the plenty for themselves. Meaningless competition for scares resources in a material driven world. Our children have no example of integrity and industry and love. And so for these atrocities against humanity the perpetrators will have to pay.
I know from experience that the system is flawed and unfair
So I live outside it as much as I possibly dare

Mr. Preacher man
What you got to say to di nation,
Mr. Preacher man
What you goin to say when the youts dem turn away
I’ve been a believer for all of my life
But there’ve been constant conflicts my mind
The people are hurting and crying and searching waiting for a reason to go on
And all you can say is go pray and be patient it won’t be this way for too long
Sitting and waiting to me that seems crazy,
Making them lazy in your congregation
Pleading to a Savior an emancipator
whose very behavior proves you wrong
So tell me
Mr. Preacher man
What you got to say to di nation,
Mr. Preacher man
What you goin to say when the youts dem turn away
Since the very beginning you’ve told them the end was near
Fearing damnation they buy their salvation, not living while they’re still here
But you will have to ansa too, for all di tings unnu neva do,
Cause what you teach in Sunday school, you don’t demonstrate
A use emotions tie dem down instead a sen dem fi go roun’
and live di words wha dem a soun’, mek dem participate
Mr. Preacher man
What you got to say to di nation,
Mr. Preacher man
What you goin to say when the youts dem turn away
Di people caught up in religion, traditions of a people
Who did hold us in subjection, rejection of the power that was in our possession
Before all a dis regression back when we an di creator had an intimate relationship

yes religion is the tool, was the tool of the oppressor
cause they never plan to set the people free.
So tell mi
Mr. Preacher man
What is your reaction to the problems dat we facing
Is not no blame we placing, we jus pleadin we case in
Di best way dat we can
please help the I dem overstand
please help the I dem overstand
Mr. Preacher man
What you got to say to di nation,
Oh Mr. Preacher man
when the youts dem turn away
Tell me Mr. Preacher Man
What you got to say?
Gratitude is fuel for the actions I partake in
so in doing what I love I get to keep it up
Perceptions leave much room to be mistaken
so in doing what I say I word is covenant
I expect nothing but the best from iself
Not myself or me putting personality
under subordination of the master key
which is the Most High in I and I
As a man thinketh in his heart so is he
what ever you dwelling on is the reality that you’re creating
Use your concentration wisely
because your only limitation is your imagination
Priority one is to focus on the Most High in the meditation
Develop the routine, keep the room clean
Balance the physical and spiritual accommodation
sip daily from the written word learn from the example
then put it into practical use within your temple
the real work is to know the truth is the seed
the real life is to grow into what you need
As a man thinketh in his heart so is he
what ever you dwelling on is the reality that you’re creating
Use your concentration wisely
because your only limitation is your imagination
Trapped inside the flesh requiring emancipation
from the source of the vexation which is the enemy
anyhow you let the mind control corrupt your state of meditation
You compromise the soul lose focus of the goal
And move further from the free
where you ought to be, shaping your destiny
guided by the Most High no need for competition
when creative cultivation of the nation is the mission
As a man thinketh in his heart so is he
what ever you dwelling on is the reality that you’re creating
Use your concentration wisely
because your only limitation is your imagination
Interlude

Haile Iditation with this collie on my brain
Steaming censimenia’s most potent native strain
Absorption of the essence frees most every mental chain
Concentrate then dehydrate then load it up again
And get taken up, taken up, into the celestial
Sweetest high that you could ever find
Vapours soaking in, of the green
Tap into the potential of your mind
Now a warning to the weak fence make sure you’re on the defense
Before you let the chains fall
‘cause when you hit that first cough illusions start to burst off
composure is the protocol
steaming on the high grade can sometimes leave you sideways
depending on the content of your heart
Jah children will reach the Most High
While the wicked and the evil fall apart
When you’re taken up, taken up, into the celestial
Sweetest high that you could ever find
Vapours soaking in, of the green
Tap into the potential of your mind
Interlude
Now lets focus on the flavor
Mango macka from St. E
Pardon my behavior while I talk about the green
But there’s a moment in that first draw
When you exhale, then you inhale, then you hold it
then you taste it, then you exhale, then you feel it,
then you see what mean
When you’re taken up, taken up, into the celestial
Sweetest high that you could ever find
Vapours soaking in, of the green
Tap into the potential of your mind

I like this boy
Standing out in all the clutter
I like this boy
This is what I’m saying to myself
I know this boy
From where I cannot place a finger
But I know this boy
Must belong to someone else
For he is so confident
I can tell from his posture
And so intelligent
It’s like he’s emanating light
This brother can represent
And he is so perfectly humble
For one so beautiful and bright
He must be Mr. Right
almost bubble wrapped, perfectly packaged for me
My, Mr. Right, tell me your intensions
for they are a mystery
A sense of humour
Keeps me laughing even when I’m not in the mood
My personal tutor
Exemplifying features of the perfect attitude
I feel a private pain
Every time he calls my name
He rattles my self defense
By his very existence
He must be Mr. Right
almost bubble wrapped, perfectly packaged for me
My, Mr. Right, tell me your intensions
for they are a mystery
interlude
Asking, wanting, checking checking
The universe has brought him to me
Patience composure taking getting
His attention and honesty
Gasping breathless I can hardly believe
There is reciprocity
But he like to take things slow
And this is how I know
He must be Mr. Right
almost bubble wrapped, perfectly packaged for me
My, Mr. Right, tell me your intensions
for they are a mystery
It’s a jungle out there and life is unfair
for the ones left to scrap for the scrapes
Generations have grown in the same situation:
tribal warfare, chattel slavery and now taxes
The people never have enough and children are born fatherless
and families have no one to rely on
so from blood sweat and tears the solution appears
the pride needs defending by a lion
will you be the one for the mountains and valleys are these city streets
will you be the one to keep looking forward and never retreat
in this jungle out there with so many limitations
set intentionally just for us to fail
with your plans in motion and standing in your power
and strength from your lioness you’re bound to prevail
the mission is for those who can endure
and wont stand for injustice and oppression no more
and the journey is for everyone to share
when the lions are leading there is nothing to fear
will you be the one, for the mountains and valleys are these city streets
will you be the one to keep moving forward and never retreat
A future for the youth must be priority
Establishing a nation where they all will be free
To focus on spiritual cultivation
and find themselves through ancient preparation
in this jungle out there some people mek the evil rule dem nature
turning life into a rat race
and the youths dem head a burn cause the only thing they’re learning
from those people’s how to rob you to your face
instead of giving them guidance and encouragement
you’re provoking them daily giving rise to resent
but the tension that they’re building up inside
will find direction and purpose in the lion pride
will you be the one, for the mountains and valleys are these city streets
will you be the one to keep moving forward and never retreat
oh ‘cause it’s a jungle out there
interlude
A future for the youth must be priority
Establishing a nation where they all will be free
So the lionesses rise to the occasion
And nurture them with conscious meditation
It’s a jungle out there and life is unfair
for the ones left to scrap for the scrapes
Generations have grown in the same situation:
tribal warfare, chattel slavery and now taxes
The people never have enough and children are born fatherless
and families have no one to rely on
so from blood sweat and tears the solution appears
the pride needs defending by a lion
Imagine, if Marcus Garvey was the youths dem example
what the future would be promising
Imagine if Haile was the teacher and the scriptures were speeches
to prepare them for the journey to begin
A new perspective on history to enlighten the mistery
immediately before it seeps in
An opportunity, for unity
Each one must teach one the neighbour’s little yout
Is your son your daughter your sister your brother
A part of who you must become
In the event, of revolution
Imagine if initiation was a part of the process
to teach the youths dem discipline
imagine how learning would be heightened by a positive example
by the ones to whom the youths dem listening
integrity and humility were a given
the standard by which we’d be living
like one righteous militant community
in unity
Each one must teach one the neighbour’s little yout
Is your son your daughter your sister your brother
A part of who you must become
In the event, of revolution
No need to speak specifics there are those who breed hatred
To keep those together apart
But remember that justice is real living judgment
Like cancer you can plant in your own heart
So when it’s hot on the mission even those who lack vision
Can confidently trust in the youth
If we arm them with the truth
Strong and sterdy from the root
Each one must teach one the neighbour’s little yout
Is your son your daughter your sister your brother
A part of who you must become
In the event, of revolution
For they are who we will become
In the event
Of revolution
The solid basis for all lies in education. It is education, which allows people to live together, and makes them avoid the pitfalls of immorality, and induces respect “for the law. Truly, the attainment of these high aims is based on education. The helping of people to live together to avoid indulgence immorality and lawlessness. To command and to be commanded is the fruit of education and unity and confidence is the result. Education of the youth is the surest guarantee for a better life. From truth alone are born liberty and only an educated people can consider itself really free and master of it’s fate.”
– HIM Haile Selassie I
Each one must teach one.
Legitimate or not
Some claim indemnity from the original plot
As though their integrity cold still be intact
What is likelihood of that
when if you trace the source of each resource they’ve got
They’re tapped into the veins of the masses the system maintains
Feeding on their youthfulness and draining from their brains
Then when the weak ones are rejected armed and turned toward the strife
They return with force and take away their life
But make no mistake
There is life in abundance for all to partake
So war is redundant and hate is futile in the face of love
But too many put feelings in the place of love
We all are the same
the essence of life in this physical plane
And nothing can restrain the love, you just have to claim the love
Yes I remember the censorship of showing your roots
Deception with no lye conditioning for the youths
Straightening their follicles while twisting their minds
Replacing old tradition with their programs for decline
But as I rebel my natty swells defiant of the taming
My natural advantage I’m proclaiming
These spirals map the course of life and represent the force of life
Connected to the source of life
So make no mistake
There is life in abundance for all to partake
So war is redundant and hate is futile in the face of love
But too many put feelings in the place of love
We all are the same
the essence of life in this physical plane
And nothing can restrain the love, you just have to claim the love
So I have no fear
And though I have no enemy I am aware
That the few seek the plenty for themselves
And justice is rare without material wealth
When we delegate our fate to someone else
but fortunately, I claim dominion over my destiny
with the wisdom and power from knowledge of the key
the tree of life is rooted in me
so even in the midst of trials I am free
so make no mistake
There is life in abundance for all to partake
So war is redundant and hate is futile in the face of love
But too many put feelings in the place of love
We all are the same
the essence of life in this physical plane
And nothing can restrain the love, you just have to claim the love
so make no mistake
There is life in abundance for all to partake
So war is redundant and hate is futile in the face of love
But too many put feelings in the place of love
We all are the same
the essence of life in this physical plane
And nothing can restrain the love, you just have to claim the love
The only double life that I lead is the fact that I’m a spiritual being
An indivisible duality accountable only to my self
My physical is sacred not a product for a shelf, not for sale no need to prep
Except for the protection of my mind and self respect
Through daily meditation , I find my inspiration and secure my motivation
as I introspect, I learn to know myself
I seek an inner voice to help me making my choices
in this western world bombarded by so many noises
I am a stranger here but still I have no fear
For in fulfillment of my purpose my soul rejoices
My only challenge is to better know this feminine divine which I aspire to
The lessons learnt have brought me to a place of peace
for what cannot change I know I must release
so with patience and humility face the world
god manifested in the flesh but still a little girl
I will give freely of my time and energy
Knowing the creator will replenish me
I seek for inner strength to recognize the wealth
Of opportunities provided in my daily ventures
I am a stranger here still I will have no fear
For the source of my potential is infinite
Spending the moments as a sacred gift
the heights I can attain provide a constant lift
My spirit recognizes others on their journeys way
Representing for the anciency in present day
There is a light the shines from a fire deep
Within my consciousness a treasure that inspires me to keep my peace
For in the stillness is the key to creation
Of wealth and happiness from positive vibration
And my inner light will help me see and know the right
Way to prepare and persevere when it comes time to fight
For I’m a stranger here, but I will have no fear
For the sun still shines regardless of the darkest night
Seek for your inner voice to help you make your choices
Learn to differentiate between the truth and the noises
As a stranger here, you must never fear
For the knowing of your self is cause for great rejoicing

Keep holding on my brothers and sisters
don’t let them draw you out
maintain composure in spite of whats going on
speak the truth or hold your mouth
All this talking
everyone seems to have an answer or a question to state
then when the tension’s sparking
everyone is quite content to wait until the danger dissipates
because the eloquence and intellect mastered by the few
are really not indicative of what they can do
so rather than be guided by the words of someone else
seek the truth for yourself… and
Keep holding on my brothers and sisters
don’t let them draw you out
maintain composure in spite of whats going on
speak the truth or hold your mouth
Egos flaring
making it impossible for progress even when the way is clear
no self defeat preparing
to take away your drive and leave you crippled barely walking ’cause of fear
because the violence and injustice perpetrated by the few
are highly indicative of what they will do to you
so join the competition for a coffin or a stripe
or make your own way and choose life… by
Keep holding on my brothers and sisters
don’t let them draw you out
maintain composure in spite of whats going on
speak the truth or hold your mouth
See when the light is shining
learn and overstand the way the cycles regulate the course of life
tune in to natural timing
forget about the obstacles focus on the goals you have in sight
because perspective makes the difference between tragedy
and things meant to provide you with an opportunity
yes consciousness will guide you and keep you in the right
just stay focused on the light… and
Keep holding on my brothers and sisters
don’t let them draw you out
maintain composure in spite of whats going on
speak the truth or hold your mouth
This one is a warning…
Watch the language that you use
Ensure our comprehension with the words that you choose
If you don’t simplify your statement our attention you will loose
Unless you are intentionally trying to confuse
Cause I refuse to sit back and watch you hold the people down
Floating in your top position while di rest o dem a drown
Cause in the sentence of creation all you are is just a noun
But we’re the verbs those action words that put power to the sound
And that’s way beyond profound cause when the wealth is for the few
They feel that there is no one they should have to answer to
So the things that they will say are not the things that they will do
Cause even after all the talk the people still don’t have a clue
But at least this must is true, information is the key
Yes knowledge is the only way the people can be free
So it isn’t just a choice it’s our responsibility
To keep aware so you can judge if what they say is what you see
Cause this one is a warning…
So watch the language that dem use
Ensure you’re comprehending all the words wha a choose
Learn to simplify their statements and to analyze the clues
Because it seems they are intentionally trying to confuse
So refuse… cause is ignorance a hold the people down
So reach toward enlightenment and you can never drown
Cause in the question of creation you are greater than the noun
You’re the verbs those action words that put power to the sound
And we will burn this to the ground. Because the wealth is for the few
And it seems like there is no one they should have to answer to
But now they fear they’re not aware of what the people plan to do
Raising up a people’s army out of every ghetto crew
Unite the people with the truth, cause information is the key
Yes knowledge is the only way the people will be free
So it isn’t just a choice it’s our responsibility
To keep aware so you can judge if what they say is what you see
Cause this one is a warning…

There is tension building inside i and I’m trusting i spirit to guide i
Even if no else overstands I have got to do what it demands
i eyes and ears might deceive i and friends and family might leave i
But is righteous tension a brew so I must prepare for what I might have to do
I don’t have a problem in the world
solution oriented, simple island girl
Passionate, compassionate with patience as a science
Endorsing love and unity promoting self reliance
Balancing I emotions tempering i temperament
Maintaining i composure and learning when to vent
But as injustice and oppression grip the masses more and more
The constant pressure makes them numb but instead it makes i sure
That there is tension building inside i and I’m trusting i spirit to guide i
Even if no else overstands I have got to do what it demands
i eyes and ears might deceive i and friends and family might leave i
But is righteous tension a brew so I must prepare for what I might have to do
Misleaders use semantics, to manipulate us
Meaningless promises to keep us in a state of
Catatonic apprehension empty hands up to the sky
The art of misdirection used to disguise the lie
Telling us decisions made are for our good, by those whom we elect
When in actuality they merely reflect
An ulterior agenda to make profit in their term
So the people only matter when those people help them earn
So dem currup’ system get burn… hot
That’s why there’s tension building inside i and I’m trusting i spirit to guide i
Even if no else overstands I have got to do what it demands
i eyes and ears might deceive i and friends and family might leave i
But is righteous tension a brew so I must prepare for what I might have to do
Imagine the morning you awake to find the soldiers on your street
Armored tanks on every boulevard and police on every beat
Helicopters hovering but a stillness in the air
How will you be feeling? relieved? Or filled with fear?
Then the radio announces that the leader’s going to speak
Adrenaline explodes as your attention starts to peak
He says “you may already notice all the plans for your protection”
They’ve been put in place to neutralize potential insurrection
But have no fear the force is here with tear gas, bombs and guns
So no undesirables can compromise the flow of funds
Tell me where will you be standing what will you plan to do?
When you realize the enemy is you!
Which side of the law are you on? are you with the masses or are you the protected one?
What side of the law holds your place? Do they defend you or can they stick that gun in your face?
Tell me where does your allegiance lie? Does the struggle entertain you or does it make you cry?
Is it clear where your conscience resides? One day you may have to deside
That’s why there is tension building inside
but I’m never gonna give Jah up
No matter what
Simplicity in everything…
Jah is I sword and Shield
Haile give I everything I need
HIM alone is rightful divine government
Jah trod this earth as flesh
As the evidence that life conquer death
HIM alone I livity must represent
The final frontier, the real battlefield it is within our consciousness
the prize to be won, the victory to be gained is within our hearts
the love we reflect, the hate we reject
is testament to whether the Most High is present and reigning on the throne
or is the enemy convince us we can go it alone when
Jah is I sword and Shield
Haile give I everything I need
HIM alone is rightful divine government
Jah trod this earth as flesh
As the evidence that life conquer death
HIM alone I livity must represent
Him mek all other government irrelevant irrespective of material things
all other church and state will have to abdicate in the presence of the king of kings
the war we have to fight is for truth and right
the chains of oppression will be breaking
no weapon couldn’t stand a chance
with Haile Selassie I leading the advance
the truth of I plan, the strength of i hand are granted by the mercy
forgiveness from wrong and salvation are granted by the grace
confuse becomes clear
illusions disappear the more I get to know of him
revelation now has meaning, ‘cause I have seen his face
and Jah is I sword and Shield
Haile give I everything I need
HIM alone is rightful divine government
Jah trod this earth as flesh
As the evidence that life conquer death
HIM alone I livity must represent
HIM alone is rightful divine government
Jah trod this earth as flesh
HIM alone

In this battle for a brighter day
It’s of yourself you slay

And all the non believers
We sight the one who don’t have what it takes
And love to war and trace

And in a blazing phase it strips away the pretense
They lose their way trying to keep the pace While we effortless breaking down defenses
We ready fi di feeling now
We never gonna be let down no We ready fi go seal it now
And It’s heaven when we set it
And wheel it out now
We ready fi di feeling now
We never gonna be let down no We ready fi go seal it now
And It’s heaven when we set it
And we wheel it out now
I don’t know when I let this voice of dissent
Come in and mess with my head
When I‘m so naturally blessed Yes the sacrifices I people made Reparations are still unpaid
But my potential is unrestrained And I’m about to reveal it now
I just forget about the past mistakes and all that didn’t take
And all the non believers
We sight the one who don’t have what it takes
And love to war and trace
No they can not deceive us
The sun come out to shine on every face
And in a blazing phase it strips away the pretense
They lose their way trying to keep the pace While we effortless breaking down defense
Cause we ready fi di feeling now
We never gonna be let down no
We Ready fi go seal it now
And It’s heaven when we set it And we wheel it out now
We ready fi di feeling now
We never gonna be let down no We ready fi go seal it now
And It’s heaven when we set it
And we wheel it out now
We ready fi di feeling now
We never gonna be let down no We ready fi go seal it now
And It’s heaven when we set it
And we wheel it out now
We ready fi di feeling now
We never gonna be let down no
We ready fi go seal it now And It’s heaven when we set it
And we wheel it out now
Tell me what you’re ready for Tell me what you’re ready for
To each his own
Each man stands alone
We each must bring
A sacrifice or an offering
And what we pay, will be weighed
When we meet our judgment day
So keep it light as a feather
And fly away
These days it seems that everyone is on some twisted mission
To make a great impression
To boost their likes and ratings
Faking friendship just to get ahead
As jaded as the walking dead
Becoming the norm as corruption spread
But truth is always waiting
Much of what we’ve been taught to love or fear, are just moments on the journey here
We must choose what we keep Or let go Believe what your told or seek and go know
To each his own
Each man stands alone
We each must bring,
A sacrifice or an offering
And what we pay, will be weighed
When we meet our judgment day
So keep it light as a feather
And fly away
Nuff a dem claim dem righteous tru dem seh Ital,
No meat, very little salt or sweet
Tru dem fit and full of intelligence
With great confidence to just speak
But we see seh dem secretly full of fear
And so hopelessly unaware
Of how a loving heart and peaceful thoughts Keep the conscience clear
So we say caution to the scornful
Your pride is gonna be your downfall
Be humble when you’re corrected, receive it willingly and be grateful
Because love is what a one is expected to use To effectively govern decision
So with all the long term planning and precision you ready if di mission?
To each his own
Each man stands alone
We each must bring a sacrifice or an offering and what we pay will be weighed when we meet our judgment day so keep it light as a feather
And fly away
Fly away From the social drama Fly away
From the theatres of war
Fly away
From the minstrel show karma Fly away
Into full bloom and power
I am a pillar of strength
Firm at the core
I and I sisters and brothers will endure
What we represents together is concentrated pure
Unselfish, raw, creation, law, Order, Divine, 0 to 9
