Get Kilombo at I-Roots Records: https://iroots.bandcamp.com/album/kilombo

Where can I find a place to rest my head 
Far away from those who seek I death 
Inna war camp Kilombo
In Ambundu it’s Macombo
Like Palenque where the runaways go
To a place where they can call home

Out in the country where the mountains get so high 
Out in the garden where we won’t be hypnotize 
We escaped from out of hellish plantations 
In the country grew my militant nation 
30,000 in Palmares look at that 
Self-sustaining when they come repeal attack
Capoeira in a dance a martial art 
Took a lot to capture warrior’s heart
Harder to defeat than the others and the Dutch
Symbol of black pride freedom touch  
More than 5,000 Macombos on the route 
Deep inna the jungle where the ancestors look out 
Free to practice our heritage and love 
Tereco with the music dance and drum  

Freedom, Justice, Integrity, Honor
Kimbundo Kilombo
African origin Quilombolas, yeah
Maroons build the hideout yea
They magic is restoring yeah
Established for the community 
It was not one single entity 
Stretched out across the land two hundred miles long, can’t you see
Free states of Africa
Common enemy was the Portuguese
Mocabmo unified militarily 

Run away run away you if run up on we block 
Spirituality fit we hold the natural world on lock 
They fear us when we walk upon the earth without a sock
Fear the natty dread and yes the fear the warrior shot
We never miss kilombos fall another spring up 
Like the flowers from the dirt
Ah so the black Ras sowing up 
Feel the currents of magnetical law

Get Enki at I-Roots Records: https://iroots.bandcamp.com/album/enki

Oh now, oh now
Lapiz lazuli on the crown
Oh that great mountain, beloved by Holy An, King
Mes tree was planted, in the Abzu over the land
Great dragon dwells in Eridug whose shadow cover the sand
A grove of vines extending over forest like the reed named Halhal

Oh Enki, Lord of Plenty, never empty firstborn of An
Mighty one of Ekur know as tikur
In the Abzu you Stand 
Ekur, more like Tikur yeah
In Abzu you stand 
 
With a single glance
Unsettling the heart of the mountains
Wherever bison born, where stags are born, were ibex born, wild goats born 
Over green meadows in the hollows in the heart of the green hills 
Unvisited by man, your fixed gaze upon the heart of the land

Lord of Prosperity, Lord of Wisdom Beloved of An
Ornament of Eridug, establishing decisions and commands 
You close up the days and make the months enter their house
You bring down the rain and turn weapons away from our house 
You brought the arts and crafts from Ekur, house of Enlil
To Abzu in Eridug 
Overseeing justice 
Like a great storm too
Seal Keeper of Truth 
Sacred song and incantations sound for you
In My Abzu, stag of the abzue
Nijir-sig holds the golden scepter for you 
Let the Dilmun be loaded with timber for you
Let the Magan boats be loaded with silver for you 
And the boats of Meluha with gold for you

Enki is the 2nd single from the Fikir Amlak & King Alpha album focused on Sumerian history & culture. 

Sumer is one of the cradles of civilization of the world, dating back as far as 5500 BC. It's one the earliest known civilizations, located in the southernmost part of Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, in the area that later became Babylonia and is now southern Iraq. 

Enki is the Sumerian god of water, knowledge, wisdom, magic and creation, as well as one of the Anunnaki. Enki, sometimes depicted as a man covered with the skin of a fish is considered the master shaper of the world.

It searches all within I 
A heart that’s sealed 
Everything must reveal 
All of the secrets and of all the fears 
It knows me now
I don’t know how 
So don’t you ask me how
Don’t you ask me how

CHORUS 

Everything that was hidden deep
Yes it all spills out in a painful leap 
Yeas it all comes out memories are free
Those that are painful now
Transform the energy

Never stray from It
I won’t stray the path
Ra is blessing it
You will bring me back to my rightful place
Yes I wear the symbol of the eye forever yeah

Get TAKE A STAND at I-Roots Bandcamp: https://iroots.bandcamp.com/album/take-a-stand

Slave driver
You must do the math
There are few of you and many of us do you overstand
We work so hard and do the best we can
But it’s never enough and times are rough
So we take a stand
Take a stand

Well I could never ever turn a blind eye
The heathen dem rage and the wolf multiply 
See dem inna the ambush man we strike dem on sight
Babylon fraid when the Rasta nah comply so

Now we certified and we surely qualified 
Building start shake when the music amplify
Like an earthquake rumbling and a flashing inna the sky
People start feel it from London to Shanghai

Weak heart could not enter haffi be like samurai
Sting den like a bee and move now like a butterfly
Roots like the tree of an African bonsai
Selassie I only you I glorify so 

Chorus 

My people they could never hypnotize
They took us of Africa the ghetto youth arise
Lions come together organize and centralize
The safety of my nation I would never jeopardize 

Tired of the funerals and tired of goodbyes
Tired of the backbiting all time 
Tired of the hypocrites and all the parasites
Open heavens Rastafari unify

Lion symbol Rastafari livity nah hide
Freedom is a place can be found down deep inside
Justice is a tool that can be brutalized
But I and I just adapt and improvise

Great pillar
You hold the sun disc
RASTAFARI pull I and I upwards seen
Fourfold breath meditation 
Vibrate and feel the beam of light Maskal of light 
Balance between Mind and Igic
Lion Lioness Balance

Middle path, Middle pillar
Balance out the inner yeah  
Middle path, Middle pillar
Nothing could be realer
Middle path, Middle pillar
You are the winner 
Middle path, middle pillar 
See the world clearer 
Truth clearer 

I say the middle way is the way 
Golden mean in between all the vice and the pain 
No other way 
Can lead I to Zion state 
Be in the world not of the world
Hundreds of monk meditate manifest another pearl 
Free up break the curse 
We’re not free til we hear the original verse
An ancient path where two waters converge
Not standing still not going forward and not in reverse 
Mindfully let things take it’s natural course
Mind still like a clear pool I and I immerse 
I’ve seen many strange things but it’s just the multiverse 
Three is the truth, One is the way I observe 
Many caught up in extremes and so they slip and swerve
Don’t chase fleeting pleasure all your energy conserve

CHORUS

Learning to rest in the middle yeah you have to trust life
Like learning how to swim must release and take time 
Ease and grace come with trust yes it is a sign 
That we can float on the ever changing ocean tide
Discovering peace in every thing so designed
Mediation everywhere wherever we are anytime 
In the present of the motion I forget war and crime 
Out of the gaining and duality those old paradigms
 
Those old paradigms
Don’t serve us no more
Serve us no more

CHORUS 

Life clear and vivid I’m awake all night 
Filled with possibilities so infinite 
Embracing tension paradox and change alright 
Instead of seeking resolution deep in the middle vibe
The world is formable just use your mind
Soul and mind
See how it is and how we’re not confined 
Sit upon your throne like royalty so divine 
Joys and sorrow fear confusion the play of life
Don’t have to fix it just let it not be defined
Become light and rise up heart at peace your shrine 
Inner freedom is the goal so never decline 
Balance Igic and Mind

Oh fire water with the heat in the water
Eagle stone first matter 
fire burning water 
Oh fire water with the flame in the water
And the steam on the altar 
When we satta yo 

Pure matter universal nature now
True name was concealed in lead and bronze
Knowledge to transform right out from a pawn
Every quality and angle like a polygon
Rastafari elemental DON
Everything for a time like the unicorn

Body and Spirit human pantheon
All of the colors and the metal spawn 
Nothing more wonderful when we look upon
Nothing more wonderful 

Chorus 

Primal Fire like Proteus might
Permanent just like water of life 
In the chamber spiritual the light
Medicine from Mt. Zion I
Venom and poison the nebulae
Fog and dew now how the clouds arise 
Shade and moon by the fireside
Stella signata and the owl shrine
Mother spouse eve and the bride 
Milk of virgin and fig milk boil
Lye and saltpeter the byzantine
Syrup green like serpentine
Honey sweet like clementine
Heart of sun is so divine
Cornerstone just like the Hyle 2x

Chorus 
 
Nile gems and magnesia
Magnet and white ethesia
White moisture the eureka
White smoke like the amnesia 
Metallic entities unseen ya 
Soul of heaven black patina
Matter of all form amoeba
Tartar of philosophy arena
Aqua Regia yeshiva
Rainbow the panacea
Indian gold from the marina
Shape shifting brain

Dread Stone
Red Stone 
White Stone
From Zion I throne
It’s a Dread Stone 
Red Stone
White stone
Ethiopian honeycomb  

Sword in the stone by the river still water
Straight from Adam, Melchezidek Order
Refused by them in the temple you are honored
Set in the corner four elements prana
Internal and external elixir is the powder 
Red sulfur Avicenna did prosper
Alkahest 5th element we offer
Circle in the square wordless books I conjure 
On the back of the wind horse is the rider
Qidist Maryam is the Black Madonna
Making crystal into stone and black diamond
Twelve stage process the Mandjet I charter

Chorus

Glory of Zion, water in a box
Lapis Christ and the Great Solar Fox
One horn JAH and Selassie I the rock 
Man of men no illness detox 
Heavier than gold can’t burn we dreadlocks
Stone of the Wise, man and woman peacock
Excellent King Ras Tafari treetop
Shining and glorious are the diadem ethos
Key to the work element carmot
Mental process in the stone of Azoth
Sulfur and mercury and yeah salt
Nuclear energy the Midas touch 
Beginning and the end Tau and Alef
Copper antimony crystalline net
Three fold wisdom Thoth to St Germain
Realms of fire in the midst is the serpent 

Chorus 

To the strong is a burdensome matrix
Circulating the fountain of light from deep within 
Energy streaming from the hand straight to Shin
Bowl of cold water menfes qidus pouring in
Walking on the grass barefoot and just spin
24 is the path with the square breathing 
Sustaining health and all the solar impulses
Exhaling to the crown burning all hindrance

Everything revealed I entered the sanctum
Of the dancing king
