"The Locusts" lyrics
(feat. Pressure Busspipe)
Rastafari teach I how to forgive
I've been learning how to live and let live
Naa go seek revenge as sweet as it is
I would rather spend some time with my kid
Lazy gossip is a waste of my time
Costs me nothing so I pay it no mind
All in search of 15 minutes of fame
Digging deep fi throw some dirt pon your name
I'm not playing that game
'Cause the last time I checked
Jah love guide and protect
And that's forever the same
What the fuck is you saying?
Keep your head up
No lose your focus
Rasta will protect you from the locusts
Some no grow in love so them no show none
How much time Jah make you know you chosen
When you fed up, remember time heals
Caution when you stepping through the minefield
Anything can happen in a heartbeat
Powers in a prayer so me draw fi it
Garvey tell we nation building, soldiers ready willing
Protect women, children, beg you tell me wah some man a pree?
Have I lost the plot? Am I supposed to not aspire to acquire financial and spiritual gain?
Selassie's words I'm saying, heard it in the speeches
Went Addis Ababa, Lalibela, speechless
Oh I'm in agreement, neutralize the leeches
Not the type to go on interviews and air a grievance
My only allegiance, Rastafarian children
Try attack me heathen, I implore, beseech them
All the troops retreating, D-Day pon the beach then
Mussolini weeping
Keep your head up
No lose your focus
Rasta will protect you from the locusts
Some no grow with love so them no show none
How much time Jah make you know you chosen
When you fed up, remember time heals
Caution when you stepping through the minefield
Anything can happen in a heartbeat
Powers in a prayer so me draw fi it
The Conquering Lion never fail
The children of Zion must prevail
My life wasn't bought nor sold
Most High Jah in full control
The mountains, the valleys and the peaks
The earth is the Lord's and for the meek
It's amazing
Yeah we keep this fire blazing yaaa
Unapologetic, never disrespect it (no)
What are you reflecting, watch your retrospective
I'm so calm and so collected with a firm objective
Rasta youth dem haffi go make it, simple, alphabetics
His Majesty self-elected, guided and protected
Black people well connected, link up like a necklace
Babylon, you get your head lift quicker than a deadlift
Tear your cities down like Tetris, nothing else no exist
We are the chosen, why not unify?
System is so broken, how can you decide?
Sell yourself for tokens, where's your fucking pride?
Once you've been awoken, hard to close your eyes
How long we gonna let them conquer and divide?
Brainwashing of my nation happening for a while
Those who work the cotton fields only for a smile
Joy come in the morning, the pain is for a night
Holocaust of the people was a horror sight
All because of the evil and the parasites
Never you give up, black people, stand upright
Them can't dim we light, yo
I've been learning how to live and let live
Naa go seek revenge as sweet as it is
I would rather spend some time with my kid
Lazy gossip is a waste of my time
Costs me nothing so I pay it no mind

Some no grow in love so them no show none
How much time Jah make you know you chosen
