Selah |
They want us to stay blind as a bat |
While they move sly as a fox |
Oh bwoy |
Yes, sir |
I tell you few people can see it |
Many are blind to it |
A change is on the way |
Things will no longer be the same |
(No way, no how) |
Oh no, hear me now |
All eyes on America |
People and places want to be just like America |
And I can’t understand why |
When you have beautiful places like Dubai, oh yeah |
Lies and propaganda, they speak of Africa |
I trod from Nairobi to Addis-Abeba and find |
Find the truth for myself |
Whoa, why |
The world is more beautiful than you know |
From Cape Town to Accra to Lagos |
So much beauty my eyes behold |
So much in school they have never told us |
Like how much slaves died on Gorée island, in Senegal |
And how much never reach Caribbean islands, whooy |
The slave trade was wickeder than you know |
And now they return to Africa for the gold and diamonds |
While they make it seem like the land |
Is just full of poverty, yeah (oh what a lie) |
And hungry belly (belly), what a terrible conspiracy |
Now we say Selah, there goes the end of an era |
No more we are blind to the truth, O Jah |
I and I stronger than ever (oh yeah), Jah know |
We say Selah, there goes the end of an era |
No more we are blind to the truth, O Jah |
I and I stronger than ever, Selah |
I cry for Jamaica, it hurt my heart fi see |
My people of Jamaica |
Don’t realise say reggae music is the saviour |
Preserving the knowledge of our former selves |
Check the youth dem inna Gambia, if you never know |
You woulda feel dem born and raised inna Jamaica |
To how dem love the culture, Rastafari culture |
Dem live the livity as well, yeah |
Earth is the Lord’s and fulness thereof |
So I have the right to live where I’m loved |
And celebrated (celebrated) |
No hate can keep me from anywhere in the world |
Now we say Selah, there goes the end of an era |
No more we are blind to the truth, O Jah |
I and I stronger than ever (oh yeah), Jah know |
We say Selah, there goes the end of an era |
No more we are blind to the truth, O Jah |
I and I stronger than ever, Selah |
For real, listen |
What if I told you ancient stories (true) |
Was much simpler than they made it seem (work) |
Would you trod it over Zion way (yeah) |
See how they doing the things over there |
And if you thought there’s something to fear |
When you was a little tat |
And they say said don’t do this, or child don’t do that |
Please, maybe you said you do, maybe you said you don’t |
But then you figured it out, so life moved on |
Yeah, they be the days of innocent fun |
Now we’re living with purpose in Jah kingdom |
What’s the prob, what you’re saying, what’s the beef |
'Cause the future is determined today, so take a trip son |
Now we say Selah (yeah) there goes the end of an era (ah ha) |
No more we are blind to the truth, O Jah (no more) |
I and I stronger than ever (believe that, oh yeah), Jah know |
We say Selah (ah) there goes the end of an era (yeah) |
No more we are blind to the truth, O Jah (ah ha) |
I and I stronger than ever (for real), Selah |
