DAMIAN MARLEY lyrics : "The mission"

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.
