SHABBA RANKS - So Jah Say lyrics

rate me

Yes black people (fire)

Yes people, world a people

Especially I & I black people

Mi a chat to unnu inno

Yuh try a little grudge, yuh try a little corruption

Yuh try drugs

Unnu just a say love an unnu naah try love

Well right now inno, wi a follow the prophets

and the priests from the days before

So Jah say and all his prophets before wi

Say wi fi live in love and unity, yeah

So rasta say and all di rasses before wi

Say wi fi live in love and unity

So Jah say, Africans come together

East west north and South Africa

Imploma say, wi must unite together

If wi nuh organize and unite wi nuh have a future

Selassie say, let there be a united Africa

And Ethiopia fi be the headquarter

But some fool guh behind the back of the son of Jah Jah

From dat day till now wi dont stop suffer

Yuh nuh want to unite and organize with your brother

But yuh quick to smoke and drink liquor with a stranger

When mi waan more than black I wish dat I get blacker

This is a black lion heated so inna temper

Could never forget the struggle of poor mama Africa

The big ship it a sail cross the water

An now di ship it guh dock up inna Jamaica

Step offa di ship fi face plantation owner

Whip a buss cross mi back an a tear mi shoulder

Mi haffi run away like mi bredda whey dem call Kunta

Runaway to stay inna Runaway Bay

The struggle of Africa cannot go away

It hitch up inna mi brain mi rewind an play

So the younger generation nuh bow to folly

Listen, black is wi joy and pride

How can you forget that is the same boat wi ride

Kill wi one anedda an a promote genocide

Whey di hol a dem a guh wid dem satan vibes

Hurt mi so much mi haffi mek a lot a noise

Dig up corruption from under disguise

Bring reality to the yute them eyes

Show dem nuh fi follow di pope and his guys

Tell dem say accept the knowledge of the wise

So dem dont be a victim being victimized, yeah

If the Jews do not forget Hitler and his army

How can we forget the struggle which is slavery

Things that the wicked duh do not seems to amaze mi

Cause dem nuh build no school fi educate wi pickney

Instead dem build jailhouse and penetentiary

Unjustify judge waan find wi guilty

An dem think a ghetto yute a menace to society

So you check you ma brother and me check me

An bring more love inna di black community

Unity is strength between you and me

So Jah Jah say, and rasta say
