I'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood, But spiritual wickedness in 'igh and low places. So while they fight you down, Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises. 'Cos I'n'I no expect to be justified by the laws of men - by the laws of men. Oh, true they have found me guilty, But through - through Jah proved my innocency.
Make way for the positive day.
I'm gonna be Iron, like a Lion in Zion
I pledged to work for righteousness. God's given me inspiration. God's the boss, he tell me what to do.
Don't shed no tears, no woman, no cry.
I have got a running stream of love you see. So no matter what stages.. they put us through, we'll never be blue.
Make love and not war! 'Cause we don't need no trouble. What we need is love To guide and protect us on. If you hope good down from above, Help the weak if you are strong now.
Them belly full, but we hungry; A hungry mob is a angry mob.
Excuse me while I light my spliff, Good God I gotta take a lift, From reality I just cant drift, That's why I'm staying with this riff
No man can lead mean, we have to have unity.
One good thing about music, when it hits-you feel no pain. ... My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die. ... Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen. ... My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever.
One lifetime is not enough to live
The heat of the battle is as sweet as the victory.
In high tide or in low tide, I'll be by your side
