Breathe in, inhale
Hold
Release
Scales have been pulled upon our eyes
Our children are forced to live our lives
From the 5th World Eden we had founded
The time has come our voices sounded
This war declared & carried out
Its time we face what it’s been about
Our warrior sons have been turned to crime
Our mothers are forced to raise them in grime
They have made an Israel & England to emulate Jamaica
This is why the 1st World hate Jah
All that treasure they stole was not to be rich
Not just to adorn that fascist bitch
But to tie them to us as they are dead
To convince us it matters at all, what they’ve said
When this veil is raised & our children rise
We will clean the Ocean, embrace the Land, & clear the Sky
If Jamaica fails, the Empire will continue to rape US
They’ve made this simple, we take them or they take US
Their gods are nukes, germs, & chemicals & they will never betray them
So it is left to our people, for life, to slay them
While they bomb & shoot us & bury US in mines
Our Music will disarm them & change the times
We have died to sing & dance
The only medicine to destroy the Empire’s trance
So we shall move our Mother Earth
To save her from this terrific curse
Arm your weapons, send out your drones
The time has come to renounce the thrones
Hear Jamaica, look into our face
We shall remain stewards for the human race
