Journey to Jah
Album - 25 marzo 2002 - Debaser id 26975

Why are you so ungrateful
You nuh see that Jah give we life after all
Check yourself before you wreck yourself
Me see that Jah Jah give we life after all
Still none a dem nuh give no thanks at all
Dem think dem a rise me see dem a fall
fall dem a fall - fall dem a fall

Chorus:
How long you want to go run away
Run away from yourself you nuh see that truth ago reveal
and every day you got to pray - well that you fi go do
and make your life one a the real

How you fi expect love and you still a glorifie the gun
How you want clarity if acoke you nuh stop bun
Your dirty lifestyle nuh give you no way to turn
you still nuh realize that you wrong
After you come out of your church you beat your babymother down
and then you tell her you're sorry but your head did full a rum
she couldn't tek your excuse and your flattering tongue
that's why she left you today and still a ask

Chorus:
How long you want to go run away
Run away from yourself you nuh see that truth ago reveal
and every day you got to pray - well that you fi go do
and make your life one a the real

Dem say dem a the dolphin but me see dem a the shark
dem stand ina the spotlight and live in the dark
claim say dem grounded but me see dem a skylark
so to me dem can't talk
In this time and this ages man hafi be smart
think before you talk and watch the road wha' you a walk
from you look ina your conscience you can't miss the mark
And make a joyful sound unto the Lord

Chorus:
How long you want to go run away
Run away from yourself you nuh see that truth ago reveal
and every day you got to pray - well that you fi go do
and make your life one a the real

Nuff a dem me see dem can teach
Dem hufi go back a school so a no me dem can teach
A fi dem dirty talk dem call it freedom of speech
Me wonder who dem try reach
Righteousness uno fi go check it
Golong and do some good ina Your life wickedness uno fileft it
cleanheart always will make it
and from you see a chance ina your life
you better take it nuh reject it

Some bwoy must be sick ina dem head
Burn down bridges and build walls instead
And a pier badness dem spread
But me know that one day pon Babylon it ago dread

''Chorus:''
Leave us alone
Everything we build up see dem want trample down
Da one without a sin hafi cast the first stone
dem can't do it at all-no-dem ina dread man zone

Da one ya name another riot
Babylon - we spot dem up pon dem slim fast diet
Dem want kill we tune dem want we quit
But we ago slue dem dis time like David slue Goliath
Dem take the maximum and then give we the minor
And Babylon have dis ya world upon a timer
Fi all these guns and all these wars dem a the designer
we brok Berlin down now we brok China

''Chorus''

Fi go diss Jah righteous youths you make a mistake
Now the mark is upon you: you just can't escape
And you seeking now and when and where to my grade
But Jah is wathching you above the high grate
None a your daughters nor your nees could ever be my date
Ina your conference ina your fear you uuh see my face
Can't make no leggo beast come tek my place
You nuh go see me ina no disgrace

''Chorus''

You a do your thing and me a do mine
I a chant and sing you a do crime
chanting pages of reality you a do ryme
you spread me name over the internet but to me that is fine
But still dem can't stop Jah youths from shine
Jah Jah light it shine so bright it can be seen by the blind
We plant the seed and watch it get nutered by time
And put some love ina hearts of mankind

''Chorus''

Behold! It is written that a man should leave his mother and cling to the woman him love

''Chorus:''
Give thanks fi dis ya empress ina me life, oh Jah.
She loves ma and she make I satisfie, oh Jah!
To love her I will make a sacrifice, oh Jah!
To keep her in my life
''(Repeat)''

She nuh stiffnecked and listen to me
She seek only truth and reality
and when she come ina me yard it is a blessing to me
and conversation intelligently
She a the water to my root and she can't dilute
She go bear me fruit and there is no dispute7
The jungle my heart she know the route
As night turn to day no substitute

''Chorus''

'Cause you don't see me nuh mean I don't care
'Cause I can not touch you nuh mean I'm not there
Allthough we are appart feelings we share
I'm a man on a mission please be aware
The road it might be ruff but woman don't be afraid
The Journey might be long but don't loose your faith
I'm oceans away but we communicate
And soon I will be home and we gonna have a date

''Chorus''

Love how she kiss how she cares
the passionate way how she put me to the test
when it come to loving dis ya empress a the best
I don't need no witness I confess
every night I pray that she'll never leave me lonely
Always pon the road and me know that it nuh easy
express to her that she a m yone and only
Future will be bright. mother of my baby

''Chorus''

You think me forget how Christ died on the cross/
Still nuh reminisce and nuh dwell ina the past/
And righteousness me bring cross/
