Evolution
All the do’s and dont’s will help you find your way
Resolution
And you got to stand tall open minded every day

Mysteries exist for us to find dem
Nothing never happens until it reach the time then
Metaphors and miracles dem just a blind dem
And if you live in fear and doubt
You will always stay behind then
The master got his eyes on what you doing
So humble yourself of your blessings will be ruin
Nuh see no rain a fall heavens gate a call
And without no love the boss him nuh go listen

Houses build by wisdom
Small large or medium
But it’s overstanding that we turn it ina kingdom
So many paths to know one way we a go
There is no sacrifice when what you seek is freedom
Nothin new about the things we are doing
And there is nothing new about the words we are saying
Confusion in our feeling in search of the meaning
Longing for the spiritual healing

Prophet priests and kings
Same song dem a sing
seek your soul mankinin and no bother with the bling
Cause certain frequencies connect humanity
And speak of the vanity love and shear infinity
Got to learn the rules so I can break dem properly
If I nab a loose I man nuh loose none me clarity
Bun dem authority senseless ideology
Help me sing da song deh with me

behold the gratest pretender
working hard every day just to be a winner
one ting upon him agenda
how him fi go reach upon the devil veranda
now see him travel far wide and yonder
about no life him no even wonder
guiltiness from january to december
about simplicity him no remember

tranquility
the vibration of harmony
maybe you and me
can we live together like a melody

no light just dark and demonic behavior
but none of your dutty ways will never prosper
priority no right so get it together
can't live a life of illusion forever
got to live your heart all brothers and sisters
you nuh see seh dat love alone it is our savior
man hafi go find demself cause it's written all over
there is a conscience that is real
of instincts be aware
never let your mind hold no fear
be a jah army volunteer
for your neighbour you must care
never give up cause dis ya mission is sincere

you want power to your eyes it appeal
fi go get it you will kill and steal
but without integrity it's just another deal
convience yourself the illusion is real
deny all distraction with vigor and zeal
apply all instuctions unconceal
and now you get caught ina dem backdoor deal
here is a likkle truth i come to reveal

(ft. Sizzla)

(Coughing)

One love.. (it's gratitude from the yard)
More love.. (yes Iya)
More love..
More love..

Sizzla Kalonji, Gentleman teaching it from the start.

Love is the foundation.
No segregation!
One love.. to them, my son.
Anyway, common!

There is a lack of love inna we society, (for sure!)
Kindness it seems dat a no priority,
But never let it go..
Strength for your weakness, find some forgiveness.
There is a lack of hope inna we community,
Man fusion a run the vicinity,
You've got to let it go..
Strength for you weakness find some forgiveness.

So we gonna show love, because we only know love,
All we need is more love, say we gonna show love,
Because we only know love, give the children more love.

From the powers that be we demanded,
Justice and equality like Jah command it.
Four corners of the earth man a chant it,
Lots of love seed come make we plant it.

So why are you fighting such war?
Why can't be living a.. hey..

There is just no sensing,
All this bombing, shooting, senseless killing.

There is a lack of love inna we society, (why is it?)
Kindness it seems dat a no priority,
But never let it go..
Strength for your weakness, find some forgiveness.
There is a lack of hope inna we community,
Man fusion a run the vicinity,
You've got to let it go.. (fire burn!)
Strength for you weakness find some forgiveness.

Me say____
_____
We killing of the youths, yo.
Let the joy in your heart turn the tide,
Respect each other, put your differences aside.
Exhaulting your power, of the people,
Why don't you race up the morals of the people,
Like an old saying: is good over evil.
Sizzla Kalonji, Gentleman, show dem love up season.

There is a lack of love inna we society,
Kindness it seems dat a no priority, (why is that?)
But never let it go..
Strength for your weakness, find some forgiveness. (tell me why)
There is a lack of hope inna we community,
Man fusion a run the vicinity, (youths and youths)
You've got to let it go.. (got to be positive)
Strength for you weakness find some forgiveness.

The greatest gift is life eternally,
And what you reap is you what you sow abundantly. (show love)
It's your deeds that show your identity,
And divinity determines who you got to be.

So we gonna show love, because we only know love, (show love)
All we need is more love, say we gonna show love,
Because we only know love, give the children more love.

If we could recognize hypocrisy,
And the way how it affects our destiny.
Misguided by fictitious tales of history,
Why you breakin' down the branches of the wisdom tree? (show love)

There is a lack of love inna we society,
Kindness it seems dat a no priority,
But never let it go..
Strength for your weakness, find some forgiveness.
There is a lack of hope inna we community,
Man fusion a run the vicinity,
You've got to let it go..
Strength for you weakness find some forgiveness.

There is a lack of love inna we society, (for sure!)
Kindness it seems dat a no priority, (too much violence)
But never let it go..

One love.. (German love)
More love..
One love..
More love..

Serenity and love in a the air

forget about your try along crosses
so much emotional scar
from that tug-a-war
but every tribulation passes...

Refrain x2

no life is in vain
no thought insane
no transgression to complain
no gun nuh hide round the lane

burning hot it is blazin passion amazing
no holding back and saving
and dis is food for our soul
we live fruitful life before we old

Celebration
get yourself together make we dance and sing
celebration
we listen the music from the king

when the music hit we not go feel no pain
from reggae got me so life never been the same
massive dem a bawl selector come again
alborosie gentleman deh pon top of the game
sweet reggae music going trough your brain
burning like a flame going through my vein
babylon not like it now dem gon insane
see dem a rush all of di ghetto youth dem outta di lane
life and direct we a celebrate
ten thousand people waitin at the gate
no arms out at the dance we ago tolerate
hafi make dem know seh stictly niceness we generate

now gimme the riddim make me nice up the place
sound a bubble girl a wind up deh waist
now grab no trouble shot a secure di place
police and soldier dem have a smile pon dem face
a just a one drop make my people dem move up
turn up the mic and blast the speakers with a shake up
just drop the bass and the drum come cool off
selector come again wave unno hands pull up


through the music we will find a solution
take yourself away from all the confusion
lift you high above you mental pollution
dis is each and every one conclusion
through expierenced tuff life now me wiser
many scars upon me back make me stronger
no longer blind no longer weak now me higher
higher then higher redder than fire

Mount zion
take me to a place
where there is love and happiness
mount zion is my home got to find the higher zone
never will i be a rollin stone
i know there is a place
that embrace the human race
and it nuh matter who you are you’ll be shining like a star
as long as there will be no more war

police and badman dem in a permanent war
and from me see how dem FX make know Dem not go ritch far
dem a fighting one another just to be the star
everybody claim's say that dem are the biggest gungar
me hafi ask the question what dem fighting for
how good the thing coult be if all a we could spar
no more dead bodies laying out on the tar
how dem act so bizarre

i’m praying unto jah for dem to wake up
and purge out dem dutty ways to take up
dem sin a pile up on dem and it a cake up
babylon your world ago get shake up
all a the innocont heart that you break up
and the story that you formulate and make up
wicked man your whole house ago get rake up
a better place jah ago take us

if I now know when that hapend
and what whappen to dem
we have fi follow on the path again that jah recommend
this is up to you and me fi gwaan set the tchain
none a dem caan stop the message we all send
we see sam in dis world a peer make believe and
brainwash education is pure fake believe and
babylon a try dem best to make us grieve and
that’s why we get up and go leave

What a wonderful world we are livin in
and precious is each and every ting
when your mind is givin in
hold on to your faith
such a beautiful world we are livin in
and we are the light that shines within
when your mind is givin in
hold on to you faith

don't have no fear
i know the things you see
i know the things you hear
never be despair
never ever worry my dear
i feel a profound compassion for those who turn away from life
get caught ina dem trap of writs and rites
never raise the question why we a survive
through all the tribulation we still daja alive

forget about your words of anger
it's going up the down escalator
so you better get your self together
together we can be co-creators
for every little action there will be consequences to pay
so you have to monitor your doing of the day
to be in alignment with the milky way
and overstanding the part we have to play

you trash around ina di face of a world you can't manage
everything you don't understand you want to damage
fearful regretful and now you lose your courage
open up your third eye it is your inner knowledge
what makes your life worth living
extend your capacity and courtesy of giving
come let we talk about some caring and sharing
and the hope of universal forgiving

In pursiut of happiness
total togetherness
it's such an elusive thing
so we hope and sing
mount everest
climb it and never rest
limbs get sour and even spine get test

always pursiut you can gain it
some get a lot of the pot but dem still don't attain it
captured and claim it name it and frame it
the strongest will survive and maintain it
visions with ambition and nuh ramp at all
build a step with stumbling blocks and climb the wall
you have been chosen now time to hear the call
jah power sign and sealer
question to answer and earthly tings
laughter joy and sorrow is what life will bring
calculate it and simplify
give it more try one more

devoted to your dream reach out and grab it
promoted by the clean real life habit
you got to watch your back or frienemy will stab it
take care of a your soul or babylon will rob it
dem words nuh have no weight dem just pod it
mind it suck upon your brain and mad it
pressure nonstop dem multiply and add it
the reason for it all we forgot it

there is so much to erase
but there is a time and place
i can see it on your face
heartbroken human face
nothing to replace
all the moments gone to waste
find an open space
and leave your trace

What is the reason for your rage and anger
fear and doubt you a generate
that a somethin you fi put asunder
life goes on and you got no time to wait

what is the reason for your rage and anger
fear and doubt you a generate
that a somethin you fi put asunder
life goes on and you got no time to wait

you came into the world so clean and pure
opportunities ahead so you could open doors
mislead along the way by your big detour
find yourself ina addiction and ask for more
now you a moving high speed at a faster pace
but nobody never ever won the human race
meditation couldn’t settle ina haze
now you bolling like a kettle and evaporate

what is the reason for your rage and anger
fear and doubt you a generate
that a somethin you fi put asunder
life goes on and you got no time to wait

what is the reason for your rage and anger
fear and doubt you a generate
that a somethin you fi put asunder
life goes on and you got no time to wait

once upon a time
you were someone
that i could rely on
now tide is high
deserted ty the same someone
situation that i recall
with our back against the wall
kingdom rise and kingdom fall
appreciate it all

what is the reason for your rage and anger
fear and doubt you a generate
that a somethin you fi put asunder
life goes on and you got no time to wait

what is the reason for your rage and anger
fear and doubt you a generate
that a somethin you fi put asunder
life goes on and you got no time to wait

hell is a state of mind and sleep is hard to find
insomniac among us with a crazy kind
everyday dem getting closer to the borderline
but when reality a spin dem cyaan rewind
everytime me see u you want to play the leadin role
but without credential you’ll be sellin you soul
responsibillity required to attain you goal
life worth more than silver and gold

what is the reason for your rage and anger
fear and doubt you a generate
that a somethin you fi put asunder
life goes on and you got no time to wait

what is the reason for your rage and anger
fear and doubt you a generate
that a somethin you fi put asunder
life goes on and you got no time to wait

what is the reason for your rage and anger
fear and doubt you a generate
that a somethin you fi put asunder
life goes on and you got no time to wait

The more tings change
is the more they remain the same
sorrow joy and pain
reality of life dis a no game

missing those days again
when we used to open hearts for friend
everything a change from now and then
but livity knows no end and we can’t pretend (x2)

losing your spirit on your journey to desire
you no longer able to listen the angels choir
how you get so cold tell me where is your fire
from laughter joy and love you retire
we movin on in time on des ya life wire
but never lose your ground when you want get higher
take time look at the world you admire
now you ago find out that to yourself you are the greatest liar
and causin calamities and me friend it is a pitty
misunderstanding envy and jealosy
always finding me guilty
impossible to see
nothin a wrong with a likkle contreversy
you don’t know where you from
so tell me where will you go
it takes more than memories for love to show
no man is an island des you fi know
like water over sand make we flow those

missing those days again
when we used to open hearts for friend
everything a change from now and then
but livity knows no end and we can’t pretend (x2)

opportunity ina your palm
to cultivate the good and then keep it warm
but bless then more now we see that a gwaan
and yet we find it so contrary
it could be scary
communication fi reborn
yes we hafi keep the source of life goin on
eternal intention it hafi be calm
so me sing
deeper the density
another intensity
on my face you won’t find a frown
in my heart i can feel it a pound
say you a listen but you nuh hear the sound
and you a spinnin like a merry go round
trust so priceless don’t abuse it
define disgression and ways to use it
caution and careful not to refuse it
hold on to your love or you’re about to lose it

missing those days again
when we used to open hearts for friend
everything a change from now and then
but livity knows no end and we can’t pretend (x2)

the more tings change
is the more they remain the same
sorrow joy and pain
reality of life dis a no game
hey burnin flame
togetherness is surely no shame
one god and one aim
dis a di destiny that we supposed to claim

World is in trouble
captured by the creatures of the night
hosanna
mercy pon the double
flesh is eaten by the dutty parasites

in sticky situations you will find to yourself
decisions will be wrong or right
but everyday you keep reminding yourself
got to be a shining light
so many things deh ya lead man astray
far from the truths and rights
life is no live so why you takin mine away
ideology thats out of sight

and we no like none a dem sample
all over we dem still a trample
give us another example
and a reason to go on
we hear the massive dem a grumble
long time babylon your kingdom fi go stumble
fighting in jah army never soft but always humble
and we determine to go on

call by so many different names
but your glory still remains the same

never will i change
the way that i feel about jah love
it's always been the same
there is no breaking up jah love

segregation and all your different classes
it nuh tek a lot fi see no need no glasses
no tek no instruction from no jackasses
cause we see how dem a trick the masses

I will be brave in Jahoviah
Burn Babylon and then move ya

manipulating our thoughts tearin us apart
there will be no stoppin now we start
and we purge out dem heart
trick us in dem school play we like a fool
use we like a tool
hafi mek dem know she that we nuh dig da part deh

systematically dem well have it design
dem mashin up the medi with dem colonial mind
we nuh go sit around and watch blind man lead blind
you nuh see seh dat a serious crime

I see dem runnin and dem frighten
burden nuh go lighten
dem back up ina one thunderball
sin city ago brighten
when jah jah flash him lightning
through the fence and over wall

mouth it never shut it just a run up
with no inspiration dem never come up
little lava run and the whole place a bun up
mancurse or mankind
love or crime on your mind
behavior what me see a hurt me stomach
everyday another youth desperate and run ammock
but there’s no clock that will tick to jah timing
there is no adress but remember you can find him

some things will never change
can’t even rearrange
wicked man have to go get dem judgement
like sugar cubes ina the rain
it sweetnes not your pain
but it is like salt to your torment
bones flesh up to the skin
perspire from your sin
blood a run down from your garment
dollar bills without no sense
and your only reference
destruction to your soul employment

the purpose of your life it slip away sah
not even realize
light years away from the purpose you was made for
mancurse or mankind
love or crime on your mind
babylon the great remember seh we know your fate sah
you can make a change so why you wait for
but there’s no clock that will tick fo jah timing
there is no adress but you remember you can find him
