African Culture
Africa you know that I love you Africa is on the rise I know many abuse you Now is the time for healing Shine your light on us all Africa is the place of Eden The place of the ark Gods of the entire world sing, dance, and play in Africa Our earthly mother is now calling us home Measure us by our hearts Not by our mistakes Rebellious children left you Beat you Raped you Still you love them Many acts of evil take place in your womb You change this The youth is rising Carrying your newly formed crown Africa Africa Shine Shine I love you is on the rise your light your light

Bad Girls Dub


Bad girls Bad girls Bad girls Always testing you Forever teasing you Knowing no shame Vultures they are Feeding on flesh Never satisfied Constantly wanting more souls Bad girls will lead you astray Bad girls will give you aids Be careful whom you stick Use your mind not your dick You have only one heart to give So live life righteously Give your heart to her who lives honestly Dont be trapped Dont be trapped By the helpless of the vampires They may appear to be pretty A body thatll leave you blind Do things straight from your fantasies But what will be the price? Bad girls will lead you astray Bad girls will ruin your life Follow no whore to bed Catch syphilis penis go dead

Dark Destroyer
Nothing is, as it seems in this world They tell you black is evil but is it true? Nothing is, as it seems in this world Right is wrong East is west North is south I must destroy all the myths of this purgatory Walk in peace and truth I must take away the illusions of this place Salvation comes from the Black man Searching for truth among a mountain of lies Barely made it to twenty-five Then you came into my life You were suppose to be my enemy Instead you welcomed me JAH gave me sight I was no longer blind Justice must flow Before peace can be achieved Love must be nurtured Before we can have a better society Unlearn what you have been taught Replace it with the words of His Majesty Love your brother Love your sister This world needs to be healed Meditate on the lord A chapter a day Will keep the devils at bay Hail His Majesty He shall shatter all illusions

5/28/11 5:56 PM

JAH the Only Holy Spirit JAH the you Walk the path of the righteous If you stumble get back up Let the orthodox way of the lord be your shelter Never turn your face permanently towards the shadow It may have pleasure but that glitter will soon turn to copper Be mindful always Ask forgiveness daily Take the herb as much as you can The Herb is the blood of JAH The Herb is the body of JAH Take the new wine instead of the old Pick up your chalice cup hail the I Father in Zion I father within you Yeshua is Haile Selassie Yeshua is Power of the trinity God of gods in the Flesh If you dont accept this Then youre in double trouble Double trouble 7/9/11 8:15 PM

Eden Dub
In the beginning man was placed in a garden Was granted domain over everything Man never went hungry He never knew the cold All was well in the sight of JAH Man spoke to God daily Hashem voice was heard clearly All was well Got to return to Eden Weve got to return to Eden Man grew foolish Disobeyed his creator Now man suffers He feels the cold and he feels hunger He cant get back home JAH is calling I and I We must undo all previous conditions Brainwashing Step into the sight of the Most High Only they will return to Eden 7/9/11 8:15 PM

Hold on Death
Hold on death Its not my time yet Got to finish my spliff Not done spreading the word of JAH Hold on death Come back another day Got my mission to complete Not done spreading the love of JAH The lion roars from Zion Calling his faithful children home Whether you are like Peter or Cornelius It matters no more Satans time is near its end Round him up with his horde of friends A cage is waiting for them The lord roars from Zion Prepare yourself for war Keep your heart pure with JAH presence Submit his words to memory The bible is your shield his word your sword At his command you must erase his enemies Hold on death Its not my time yet I still got use for this suite Got to spread the word of JAH Hold on death Come back another day Got to finish my mission Not done spreading the love of JAH Hold on death

Pure is the soul Pure is the soul The world hates those who speak justice The tricksters find no profit in peace The beasts try to destroy the ancient sacrament Pharaoh places no value on life Children grow with distorted minds Loving the things of temptation Chasing easy women only to catch a disease Unwanted babies litter the streets Ego brings them to guns Quick six feet leads them to an early grave Or locked away like a dog in a kennel Pure is the soul who does what is right Pure is the soul who overcomes all obstacles Pure is the soul who chases the heart of the Most HIGHT 7/9/11 8:15 PM

Love your enemies Bless your enemies Love your enemies Bess your enemies Never curse anyone Thank those who wrong you Dont get hung up on trivial matters Theres more to life than brief moment of anger Keep your cool Remember the example of Selassie I JAH gave us lessons JAH gave us an example The prophets told I and I that many would be against us We are not to be like the barbarians We must be the sparkle of our God Live by what you preach Only then will you truly be called the Son of God Demons try to sway you Anger will only mislead you Keep your composer Think before you speak Think before you act When you speak you are speaking for the Father When you act you are acting on behalf of the Father I know its hard- keep your cool I know its hard- keep your cool Love your enemies Bless your enemies Love your enemies Bless your enemies

5/28/11 5:56 PM

From a place called Ethiopia He stretched out his hands Plucking out the faithful from every land In front of him no nation can stand They can only kneel Bow their heads and kneel Can you hear? Can you hear the man Zion? You can bring war to His door You will be defeated His physical body need not be seen His presence will be there When the dark days come His light will continue to shine Can Can Can Can hear? you hear the man Zion? you hear? you hear the man Zion?

Heavenly Zion Dont scorn what you dont understand Were not talking about a mortal man You can take Him and nail Him to a tree You can drive Him away in a buggy He already has victory Despite what you see physically

May your soul find his mercy JAH Live Jah laughing last 7/9/11 8:15 PM

Upsetting Dub
When you hear the last trumpet Look towards the east There youll find your King JAH Shalom Ancient ancestors get up to sing The walls of Jericho are falling Stand no more on sifting sand Plant your feet on the Zion man No more fighting Stop killing your fellow man No more fighting Its the path to nowhere These days will evaporate Shofar I hear the shofar Shofar I hear the shofar The king is coming The king is coming Dont be passed over The king is coming Dont be passed over When you hear the last trumpet Look towards the east There youll find your king Within Never trust baby wrong The song she sings is already done Though she snares many with her charm Each victim is dragged down to the bottomless pit

Weeping Willow
Weeping willow what do you see? Is it the error of modern humanity? Few have much more than the majority No one seems to care Weeping willow what do you see? Egos running the show Muffling the cries of the young Crimes committed going unreported Does anyone care? Weeping willow what do you see? Science killing levity Purposely distorting the words of JAH In order to commit constant sin Abusing the gift of sexuality Precious life is scorned A mockery has become normality No one sees Weeping willow what do you see? Weeping willow what do you see? Weeping willow what do you see? Lies being absorbed by the youth Equality is the color of money Justice does not exist The majority has lost their minds While the righteous suffer If you have morals you are called a fanatic If you obey JAH they call you a conservative If you try to shine forth love They nail you to a cross or put you in a chair But no one seems to care JAH help the blind to see

5/28/11 5:56 PM
