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 |
