[Shabba Ranks - Heart of Lion lyrics]
Zso-zso-zso-zso!
He dat knoweth the wrong but doeth the right
Shall be span while many strive
When da heathen ah come jah
Children shall step wide
Even though they make mention
Of them and those (fire bun)
Me an dem neva be friend
You know why? You know why?
Dem have the heart of a paigan
Jah children have the heart of a lion I know
Evil ah move with Satan
Righteous trod in the continuance
Of the Almighty One
Dem have the heart of demon
Jah children have de heart of a lion I know
Evil ah move with Satan
Righteous walk in the continuance
Of the Almighty One
Poor people see hostility rising daily
Ignorance multiply brutality we eye see
Daddy run gone leff mommy
Fi struggle the hard road wit five pickeny
Our eye see baby having baby
Nothing dat happen no do not
Same story do amaze we
We know that is the fulfillment of prophecy
Our eye see dem no build
School it’s church and penitentiary
Church a church an den
De penitentiary never empty
Still playing a mental trick on me
Listen, you check you an me check me
And let’s bring more love
Inna de black community
Dem have the heart of a paigan
Jah children have the heart of a lion I know
Evil ah move with Satan
Righteous walk in the continuance
Of the Almighty One
Dem have the heart of demon
Jah children have de heart of a lion I know
Evil ah move with Satan
Righteous walk in the continuance
Of the Almighty One
Respect the Father of the
Prophet Moses and Abraham
You haffi respect the Father
Of Jacob and Solomon
Respect the creator of many nations
He make the birds he make the bees
The fishes of the ocean
And fossil them together with His mighty hand
He made the man he made woman
Children the future of the land
So who is due to disrespect the creator man?
Seventy-two nation bow down
And crown Him conquering one
It would be beautiful in the sight
Of Jah the Holy One
To see the unification of my nation
Dem have the heart of a paigan
Jah children have the heart of a lion I know
Evil ah move with Satan
Righteous walk in the continuance
Of the Almighty One
Dem have the heart of demon
Jah children have de heart of a lion I know
Evil ah move with Satan
Righteous walk in the continuance
Of the Almighty One
Poor people see hostility rising daily
Ignorance multiply brutality we eye see
Daddy run gone leff mommy
Fi struggle the hard road wit five pickeny
Our eye see baby having baby
Nothing dat happen no do not
Same story do amaze we
We know that is the fulfillment of prophecy
Our eye see dem no build
School it’s church and penitentiary
Church a church an den
De penitentiary never empty
Still playing a mental trick on me baby
Dem have the heart of a paigan
Jah children have the heart of a lion I know
Evil ah move with Satan
