Tijahni

Capleton: The stone that the builder refused always will be the head Cornerstone
Yo ah King Shango Meta and the Cornerstones ah me telling you dis yo ey Meta
Meta: The voice of the poor people
Cepleton: Rich and set off Africa the youths dem say yeah
Meta: I man ah Buffalo the tough one deh pon you
Like a lion in ah jungle rough like a thunder
Mame Bamba yard Maodo sy Niassy madina
Wan ko walle futa mame Oumar Tijhania
Here come the lyrical from the mama land
I Natty dread locks son of the rain
Bongo Challe one drop bubbling non stop blazing fire
Ooohhh in the eyes of Jah we stand bright more than gold ooh wee
Ooohhh in the eyes of Jah we stand bright more than gold ooh wee
Capleton: Say unity is our only hope division it will hang you like a rope
Life is serious and don’t take it for no joke
Me still ah burn the fire burn the wicked blood spout
Never take it for no joke nah take no heroine nah take no coke
Make sure ah di highest set I-grade the youths dem smoke
Righteousness Capleton and Meta come fi promote
Dah one ah name when all is said and done yo pagan ah fi go fled and run
Cause ah nuff ghetto youths den ah go dead and dun
Cause dem promote to much bombs and dem ah spread dem gun
Alright again dem want fi divide and rule so dem can conquer fi rule
And wan fi turn the whole of di ghetto youths dem in a fool
Dem na build no college and dem na build no school
Ah full time you have your weapon and your tool dah one ah name
Rasta chant fi survival yeah still ah bun the suicidal
Bun reprisal on deh day of mi arrival well Meta say we fi bun out the idol
Meta: Come forward Mr. what yah looking for
Nothing ah gwan marijuana dem ah searching for
Intimidation, blindness, egos drop
And the soldiers dem ah wonder why me stop
Fancy uniform makes dem who dem are
The weapon on the side give them the voice
See dem prejudice arrogance is a bliss dem ah satan in a mystical world
Oooohhh (blazing) In the eyes of Jah we stand bright more than gold
Ooh wee (me can’t cool) Oooohhh (hear the man say)
In the eyes of Jah we stand bright more than gold ooh wee (bright as light ah
shine)
When you see Jah high up there know that he cares
Stand up, stand up (we never give it up)
Stand up, stand up (we never give it up)
Watch deh Babylon dem see me walking
My identity dem wan fi check yeah
If you don’t need to be known you’re not alone
They will think of you when you’re gone
Your life you give away and then you gain your own
It’s a big circle (tell dem tell dem)
Some turn around and take but hey you might crumble but never break
Oooohhh (blaze up) In the eyes of Jah we stand bright more than gold
Ooh wee (red hot) Ooh wee King Shango and Meta (betta know)
Africa and Jamaica we must be together (red hot)
Ethiopia, Ethiopia where roots and culture spreading take a sip of di
