Lyrics

The only double life that I lead is the fact that I’m a spiritual being
An indivisible duality accountable only to my self
My physical is sacred not a product for a shelf, not for sale no need to prep
Except for the protection of my mind and self respect
Through daily meditation , I find my inspiration and secure my motivation 
as I introspect, I learn to know myself

I seek an inner voice to help me making my choices
 in this western world bombarded by so many noises
I am a stranger here but still I have no fear 
For in fulfillment of my purpose my soul rejoices

My only challenge is to better know this feminine divine which I aspire to
The lessons learnt have brought me to a place of peace
 for what  cannot change I know I must release
so with patience and humility  face the world 
God manifested in the flesh but still a little girl
I will give freely of my time and energy
Knowing the creator will replenish me

As stranger here still I will have no fear
For the source of my potential is infinite

Spending the moments as a sacred gift 
the heights I can attain provide a constant lift
My spirit recognizes others on their journeys way
Representing for the ancientcy in present day
There is a light the shines from a fire deep
Within my consciousness a treasure that inspires me to keep my peace
For  in the stillness is the key to creation
Of wealth and happiness from positive vibration 

And my inner light will help me see and know the right
Way to prepare and persevere when it comes time to fight
as stranger here, I will never fear
For the sun still shines regardless of the darkest night

Seek for your inner voice to help you make your choices
Learn to differentiate between the truth and the noises
As a stranger here, you must never fear
For the knowing of your self is cause for great rejoicing

I say we all will have to change
In each his own way
Only Jah can judge a man
And so i gotta do my own thang

I said I'm at the Reins 
Steering it like how i said it woulda  been
Cant overstand say the ones who shoulda friends
dem woulda pretend you and dem no good again
Wadada Deng but that no matter on ya
Evil a scatter when me satta massagana
Nah follow back a none a dem who woulda want you
take it to the top but if you drop dem woulda scorn you
but sure as the leaves shall fall from trees
I assure babylon shall fall to knees
overstand everyone you can't go please
so from you blessed don't be stressed go your own way

You shoulda seen me in my room 
Mic stand it was a broom
Nine years old with a vision and a tool
now the camera dem a zoom with the flash that coulda blind
Darkness it brings flash back inna me mind
Now I'm back upon the grind something like you've never seen
Fresh up out the cage now i switching up the team 
tidy up the house spic and span it till it clean 
life lessons learned let me tell you what i mean 
Let no amount of money come between we
that was said evidently they never feel me 
So when they show you who they are better believe it
And saw my friends start drifting away

I keep hear a revolution time 
but me want fi hear some evolution of mind
tired fi hear bout all the doctrine
Cause no matter what them say me say the clock still spin
and though we all try to hold on
even though letting go wouldn't be so wrong
then you will find out life goes on
facing all that you doubt is what makes you strong

Jah a move with me two foot prints that I mean
See him when u see him, general fi the team
This ya reign ya coming draw fi you gabardine
Them a look and a watch like live stream
And mi skunk purple like  Ribena mean
Them a dream like arlene
Bout king them  boy deh a queen like Carlene
No bother tell me say me cant

Eeeeey warrior in a me heart
Philosophic in a mind

We naa watch no face make it do what it do
From the first time when nomads a puupookopuu
Cause dem nuh want see  u in the coupe a go thru
Dem will call Babylon and state trooper fi you
Den then come with them warrant
Kick off door a run in a you  apartment wooii
But the fire ago scawling  oh when dem falling

Eeeeey....But dem power couldn't real
Try all dem want and dem couldn't crack the seal

I see what they do and that really never suit me
Eeeey dem nuh  even know the root

LYRICS

It’s a jungle out there and life is unfair 
for the ones left to scrap for the scrapes
Generations have grown in the same situation: 
tribal warfare, chattel slavery and now taxes
The people never have enough and children are born fatherless 
and families have no one to rely on
so from blood sweat and tears the solution appears
the pride needs defending by a lion

will you be the one for the mountains and valleys are these city streets
will you be the one to keep looking forward and never retreat


in this jungle out there with so many limitations
set intentionally just for us to fail
with your plans in motion and standing in your power
and strength from your lioness you’re bound to prevail
the mission is for those who can endure
and wont stand for injustice and oppression no more
and the journey is for everyone to share
when the lions are leading there is nothing to fear

will you be the one, for the mountains and valleys are these city streets
will you be the one to keep moving forward and never retreat

A future for the youth must be priority
Establishing a nation where they all will be free
To focus on spiritual cultivation 
and find themselves through ancient preparation

in this jungle out there some people mek the evil rule dem nature 
turning life into a rat race
and the youths dem head a burn cause the only thing they’re learning 
from those people’s how to rob you to your face
instead of giving them guidance and encouragement
you’re provoking them daily giving rise to resent
but the tension that they’re building up inside 
will find direction and purpose in the lion pride

will you be the one, for the mountains and valleys are these city streets
will you be the one to keep moving forward and never retreat

oh ‘cause it’s a jungle out there

interlude

A future for the youth must be priority
Establishing a nation where they all will be free
So the lionesses rise to the occasion
And nurture them with conscious meditation


It’s a jungle out there and life is unfair 
for the ones left to scrap for the scrapes
Generations have grown in the same situation: 
tribal warfare, chattel slavery and now taxes
The people never have enough and children are born fatherless 
and families have no one to rely on
so from blood sweat and tears the solution appears
the pride needs defending by a lion

Track 2 from Protoje's Sophomore album ' The 8 Year Affair' (2013)

Selah
Know what they longing for
Know what they longing for
And I’ve got it, I’ve got it
We’ve got it, yeah.

Young General a talk, tell anyone at all
Them never coulda want take a part inna harm me
Man a war inna Menelik army
See it, them a move with the message of Garvey
Can’t listen who dem elect, hardly
Dem a play fi dem part in a party
Hear say Audley start drive Audi
Beg you pardon, a Bimma me sorry
Lead who them lost we nuh follow them
Organize and form inna one again
Twelve Tribes, you nuh see we with the banner dem
Bobo Hill a talk, walk far, do nuh bother them
Ithiopia, the Ark of the Covenant
Queen Makeda, the start of the sovereign
Selassie I order we governing
We nuh inna none a dem tings, so I say

Ites I a gwaan hold
A love we living in
I&I a pass through
Greetings I bring again
(repeat)

Ites I a gwaan hold
When I&I a pass through
(repeat)

Said I took a break and I loved the break,
Now I'm off the brake, looking to make a break
At a greater stake and the flow sweet like grater cake
Sharper than a grater make
And then I take a date and a make a mate
At a greater pace, naa use razor blade
And grate my face, dem ‘fraid a me
Lyrics a penetrate
Nuh hesitate fi make tune generate
That will devastate you, Don say it devastating
With more thoughts than them ever stating
Keep them waiting like thugs in a state bing
Jail or prison system, same thing

Flee the scene with thoughts of escaping
My mind did need fi get right
Clarity wha’ we need fi get, so

[CHORUS]

Know what they longing for
Know what they longing for
Know what they longing for
And we’ve got it, we’ve got it
We’ve got it, yeah, yeah.

Track 4 from Protoje's Sophomore album ' The 8 Year Affair' (2013)

This one is for my city girls
I’m wondering if you’ll get with me girl
Country youth, you know
Yeah yeah

My lady let me hold you now
I don't want to hold you down
Come to me, let me show you ‘round
I know I’m from the country, take you out of town
You naa go want fi go back home
(repeat)

Let me take you from a place where
Politicians they don't play fair
Brainwash the youth dem from the daycare
I speak of youths because a few is what we may share
‘Cause me and you, we can make a truly great pair
Me love your mind and your body too
Down to every molecule
Stand firm inna your solitude
Me woulda love fi you combine with me
That would really put my mind at ease

[CHORUS]

Me say you eyes pretty like
The light inna the city night
And a you me want fi see tonight
Me say you hotter than the gritty, I
Wonder if you would accept this water that is bubbling up in my chillum
pipe
Me want fi see you prosper inna what you do
This a nuh Twitter so you know me naa go follow you
But me haffi follow through, honor you
You need fi tell me wha’ you wanna do

[CHORUS]

You so divine inna your essence
Me love your effervescence
You full me up a blessings
Mama Yashi when you dressing
You destined for peace by the speech you addressing me with
And everything you do I see fit
A you alone the Rasta man a sleep with
So long as we stick together, we rich together

No fish, no feathers, no deaders so we syncing better
This ya ship ya no

[CHORUS]

Saint Elizy a me dwelling place
Sometimes them nuh have no bread in plate
Hungry belly but them celebrate
Life and meditate, heights and elevate
We no go church but me woulda love a wedding day
‘Cause if them violate, ‘cause we moving at a higher rate
The warriors will make the fire blaze
‘Cause Selassie I we praise
This love will never expiring
No need for you to ever shy away

Lyrics

Haile Iditation with this collie on my brain
Steaming censimenia’s most potent native strain
Absorption of the essence frees most every mental chain
Concentrate then dehydrate then load it up again

And get taken up, taken up, into the celestial
Sweetest high that you could ever find
Vapours soaking in, of the green
Tap into the potential of your mind

Now a warning to the weak fence make sure you’re on the defense
Before you let the chains fall
‘cause when you hit that first cough illusions start to burst off
composure is the protocol
steaming on the high grade can sometimes leave you sideways
depending on the content of your heart
Jah children will reach the Most High
While the wicked and the evil fall apart 

When you’re taken up, taken up, into the celestial
Sweetest high that you could ever find
Vapours soaking in, of the green
Tap into the potential of your mind

Interlude

Now lets focus on the flavor
Mango macka from St. E
Pardon my behavior while I talk about the green
But there’s a moment in that first draw
When you exhale, then you inhale, then you hold it 
then you taste it, then you exhale, then you feel it,
then you see what  mean

When you’re taken up, taken up, into the celestial
Sweetest high that you could ever find
Vapours soaking in, of the green
Tap into the potential of your mind

Lyrics

Imagine, if Marcus Garvey was the youths dem example
 what the future would be promising
Imagine if Haile was the teacher and the scriptures were speeches 
to prepare them for the journey to begin
A new perspective on history to enlighten the mistery 
immediately before it seeps in
An opportunity, for unity

Each one must teach one the neighbour’s little yout
Is your son your daughter your sister your brother 
A part of who you must become
In the event, of revolution

Imagine if initiation was a part of the process
 to teach the youths dem discipline
imagine how learning would be heightened by a positive example 
by the ones to whom the youths dem listening
integrity and humility were a given
the standard by which we’d be living 
like one righteous militant community
in unity

Each one must teach one the neighbour’s little yout
Is your son your daughter your sister your brother 
A part of who you must become
In the event, of revolution

 No need to speak specifics there are those who breed hatred
To keep those together apart
But remember that justice is real living judgment
Like cancer you can plant in your own heart
So when it’s hot on the mission even those who lack vision
Can confidently trust in the youth 
If we arm them with the truth
Strong and sterdy from the root

Each one must teach one the neighbour’s little yout
Is your son your daughter your sister your brother 
A part of who you must become
In the event, of revolution

For they are who we will become
In the event
Of revolution


“The solid basis for all lies in education. It is education, which allows people to live together, and makes them avoid the pitfalls of immorality, and induces respect for the law. Truly, the attainment of these high aims is based on education. The helping of people to live together to avoid indulgence immorality and lawlessness. To command and to be commanded is the fruit of education and unity and confidence is the result. Education of the youth is the surest guarantee for a better life. From truth alone are born liberty and only an educated people can consider itself really free and master of it’s fate.”

- HIM Haile Selassie I

Each one must teach one.
