"Sword & Shield" lyrics
Jah man, you know i really 'fraid to dead
Death is a force of nature Jah. Just like lighting. The righteous face it every day and pass it by, but those with evil in their hearts, fear it. That is why there is no need to slay the wicked. Just leave them to face death and they will perish
Coulda kick off any minute
Watch how you a talk, everybody have a limit
Don't play, likkle juvie dem will pay you a visit same day
With a couple AK, everything a get spray
No hesitate when them run up, every day from the sun up
Is ole with the gun up
Man them have the 'matic and it stay pon the stomach
Them no fraid fi clap it, all the station a bun up
In a dunce age with a 12 gauge
Pon some drugs wah take weh all fear so them don't care
Violence a weh dem consume from them leave womb
Sub machine inna the classroom
A no cartoon, unuh look ya now
Me say the ting get real Haile Selassie a me sword and shield
Sun by day and the moon by night
Jah Rastafari protect I life
And when the place get warm
I pray your days be no less than long
Watch over those who wish well for me
'Cause man out a road nah go show mercy
Still I nah say my brother is a criminal you know. Learn dis! 'Cause when Columbus and Henry Morgan and Francis Drake come on ya, unuh call dem pirate and put them inna wi reading book. And give us observation that we must look at, and live the life and the principle of pirates. So the youth dem now a fly up them gun like Henry Morgan same way... you nuh see it?
Now the youth dem a knock it, knock it
Money inna pocket
No aim, shot it, Kilian Mbappe it
Millions entrap it
That's it a the topic
Brutality the tactic
Have the rifle deh pon rapid
Scammer dem prefer the profit
No bodda with the beef
That bring police and e money haffi cease
Or pocket haffi grease
Man a prophet in a speech
Traffic pon the street, dem a traffic pon the seas
And a chop it you no pree it
You listen when dem speak
Look and take a peek, you will tremble pon you feet
Resemble poverty, oh the atrocity
Statistically categorically agree, you nuh see?
Me say the ting get real Haile Selassie a me sword and shield
Sun by day and the moon by night
Jah Rastafari protect I life
And when the place get warm
I pray your days be no less than long
Watch over those who wish well for me
'Cause man out a road nah go show mercy
