Lyrics:

Good morning rasta
I got some news for you
They killing people faster
And they taking out all the yutes

He tell me look look look to the hills
He say look look to the hills
From whence cometh my strength
And Jah will guide me
Make my hair grow some length and save
All the lost people in the world
Every man and woman 
Every boy and girl
Jah know the children must live
Cause wisdom comes from the mouth of babes

Good morning rasta
I got some news for you
They killing people faster
And they taking out all the yutes

Thank God for life and strength keep
Evil minds a dread arms length take
Darkness outta your hearts my friends and 
Remember what the good book say
It say
Do unto others as you have them do unto you
Because we mix up in this world like ah callaloo
Never judge your brother sister or your father too
And we won't have the cause to sing

Good morning rasta
I got some news for you
They killing people faster
And they taking out all the yutes

I said 
Children dying in the street
And people have no food to eat 
But yet still we do nothing about it
We blame the politicians lies 
While everyday corruption thrives
And all we do is talk and talk about it
But if knowledge is in your brain
Then only you could make the change
No ifs buts and ain't no doubts about it
It's time for an awakening
Say time for an awakening
Wake up wake up let's say

Good morning rasta
I got some news for you
They killing people faster
And they taking out all the yutes

Good Morning Rasta

As the second single from Nex Chapta on their way to the release of their first EP, "Zion" is a roots rock reggae anthem signaling the start of a much needed movement for change. The track features vocals, drums, bass and electric guitar reminiscent of the golden age of reggae. Vibrant brass is the herald calling for listeners to return from exile of the mind and trod on to the land of future promise; to trod on to Zion. Nex Chapta's mission is to promote a message of love, self-awareness and positivity through musical expression. "Zion" is a call to the cause! A call to fight for peace! A call to move! The Trod Begins!

Lyrics:
Call the radio
Turn up your stereo
Because we trodding to Zion
And everywhere you go
With anyone you know 
Ah say we trodding to Zion (x2)

Zion
Zion
Zion
Jah is waiting there for me

Run come one and all
Fight for your future
Mount Zion I is calling and there ain't no time for lecture
Lace up alya boots and throw away your human nature
Of selfishness (Ha)
For far too long
We've been in silence
While CNN and BBC report half truths and violence
Babies killing babies
The response is compliance 
To the corrupt system (Nah)
They think we're weak 
But we are strong
From the bottom of the middle class and even the slums
We keep on showing righteousness and pass the news along
Join hands and say
We Fight
For the education kept from our women
We Fight
For the lives of our military brethren
We Fight
Till CEOs and terrorists are no longer friends
Keep chanting it and chanting it and chanting it again

Zion
Zion
Zion
Jah is waiting there for me (Repeat)

Well its ah long long time they corrupt yah
Everyday we struggling and singing bout the structure
From the days of Bob Marley down to Sizzla
Zion messengers keep calling with no answer
But we go do it (one more time) huh
Change the structure
Doh matter if yuh bald head
Doh matter if yuh rasta
Lift up your eyes leh we expose the vulture
Open up your heart let us change the picture
I say

Zion
Zion
Zion
Jah is waiting there for me (Repeat)

Trod on to Zion
Trod to Mount Zion
Trod on to Zion
Jah is waiting there for me (Repeat)

Call the radio 
Turn up the stereo
Because we trodding to Zion
And everywhere you go
With everyone you know
Ah say we trodding to Zion (Repeat)

There is the ISIS
Syria crisis
Panama stasis
But we stuck on race
Why are we basic
Stuck up in the matrix
Destruction has no colour
Our love has a face
I'm feeling like Kermit
I'm just saying 
I'm sipping on my tea
But I'm not playing
If you listen carefully you can hear your name
Mount Zion I is calling out again I say

Zion
Zion
Zion
Jah is waiting there for me (Repeat)

Trod on to Zion
Trod to Mount Zion
Trod on to Zion
Jah is waiting there for me (Repeat x2)

"Feel Good" takes the listener on a musical pilgrimage of re-connection with consciousness, love, happiness and positive vibrations. The track begins with a light flute floating gracefully on a rooted rhythm guitar and conga drum that lays the perfect foundation for positive vibes. Then follows a crafty percussion line and playful lead guitar, leading listeners swiftly into nostalgia. Soon the simple but thought-provoking lyrics seem to reside in the mind and become reminiscent of home. Finally, cue the triumphant brass instruments to bring it all home and leave you humming a piece that now represents your definition of happiness. A song that helps you remember just what it means to feel good.

Feel Good

"Red July" is the second studio project by the band Nex Chapta and producer Sheriff Music. This pensive production takes the listener on a musical pilgrimage through the streets of Port-of-Spain, during the protest action of East Port-of-Spain residents at the end of June into early July.

**LYRICS**
Intro
Red red red red red (July)
Red red red red red

Vrs 1
Bad man suiting up they self so they ready for the fighting
(Ready for the fighting now)
Police barricade the city and they ready for the war
(Mmmmmm)
Tires burning in the street
People marching for relief
Black lives matter so they chanting no justice no peace

Cause all they know 
Harry on the corner
Kissers on the kissing bench
Children playing cricket down the lane
And jusso shots fired
People scrambling
Ma and baby bawling
Spirit fly another one gone again

You see it was a red red July
Don't ask me why
But it was a red red July
You see it was a red red July
Don't ask me why
But it was a red red July

Reporters rushing to the scene cause they never see this bacchanal
So much people in the town boy you swear it was a Carnival (oh)
Commissioner call it conspiracy
Ghetto people fed up of the lunacy
What justifies the shooting of an unarmed woman in the street? (no)

You see it was a red red July (Red July)
Don't ask me why (woh oh oh oh)
But it was a red red July (Red July) 
God knows see it was a red red July (Red July)
Don't ask me why (Don’t ask me why)
But it was a red red July

You see it was red red red red red
Lord it was so red red red red red
You see it was red red red red red
Lord it was so red red red red red

(Interlude - soundscape with “Voices of change”)
This is not only a black fight. It’s everyone’s fight.
This justice system cannot provide real justice.
We need to find a change within ourselves as individuals if we’d like to see change on the outside.
We need to change the perspective of our people.
Acknowledge that we are all human beings. Acknowledge that there were previous leaders who fought for this same cause. Acknowledge that we together can make a difference.
It’s up to us to be the change that we would like to see in society.
The first step is to acknowledge that we have a problem in today’s society and that…
There isn’t just a wound that must be healed, but the knife is still in.

Red red red July, don't ask me why
Lord it was so red red red red red
Red red red July, don't ask me why
You see it was (red x23) July

Outro
Harry’s on the corner
Kissers on the kissing bench
Children playing cricket down the lane
And shots fired
People scrambling
Ma and baby bawling
Another one gone again

Outro - “Voice of change”
When the racial status evens, everyone will live in peace and experience the beauty of unity.
