Stephen Marley - The Mission lyrics
[Stephen Marley - The Mission lyrics]
From Jungle to Rema
From Tivoli to Matthews Lane
From Waterhouse to Drewsland
From Baneland to Delacre
A youth and youth fi have a
Plan and have some ambition
And make sure unnu firm ina di Armageddon
So when you son become a man
Him know just where you stand
Him know him poopa set it
So him follow tradition
If Marcus Garvey say fi read then
Why some man ah pree
Cause knowledge ah the key and it
Wll set the people free
And Haile I philosophy is African unity
Unno watch dey segregation
And social impurity
The race is not just for the
Swift but those who can endure
Make sure you have a steady
Footing in ah zion door
And keep dem thoughts dem pure
Jah love is for the poor
But some likkkle bwoy ah burst some
Gun dem mooma can't afford
If Jah say blood fi run let Jah will be done
The heaven and the earth will pass
Away before him word no come
But, if 'I'm rise without a cause
There will be no reward
For you to enter Zion gates
Because you are a fraud
For the youths in the struggle
Fighting Guerilla warfare
Somalia to Ethiopia from Egypt to Zimbabwe
Haile Selassie say ah war if colour is a scar
If one from every nation can come
Live up an ah par so don't care who you are
There's a brighter morning star
It's shining with di town and tell
The people near and far
You seek and you will search
With science and research
The flesh it is the temple and
The temple is the church
Haile Selassie say fi work so
How some man ah lurks
Dem fix upon the cornerside like
Rubbish heap and dirt
Haile Selassie say ah one
Respect for every man no care dey race
No care dey colour nor di religion
So make a decision fi bun di division
Cause each and every rasta youth
To trot pon di mission
From Portmore to Kingston
From Kingston to Montego Bay
From Seaview to Riverton
Come and hundred proclaim
From Jungle to Rema
From Tivoli to Matthews Lane
From Southside to Telaville from Iraq to USA
From Waterhouse to Drewsland
Baneland to Delacre
Portmore, kingston to boom
From Tivoli to Matthews Lane
From Waterhouse to Drewsland
From Baneland to Delacre
A youth and youth fi have a
Plan and have some ambition
And make sure unnu firm ina di Armageddon
So when you son become a man
Him know just where you stand
