[Intro]
Brr, brr
Ye Resist Not Evil
Whoever shall smite thee
Will have to face the almighty
Take away my coat and my cloak
Jah a me riches so me never broke
[Chorus]
Lord I pray, please never let me lose my way
In anything I do and say
I keep Jah in my heart, the father shall carry I cross
Lord I pray, please never let me lose my way
In anything I do and say (I pray)
I keep Jah in my heart, the father shall carry I cross
[Verse 1]
Woy, uhu
How do I say it in a manner that
Don't seem hype if I say we bring the banner back
Red, gold, green not a fad, badge of honour that
Defender of the faith fi a fact we deh ya pon attack
Today tomorrow man a warrior nuh follow that
Try put a stop to that but a just a comma dat
A matter fact a so the sentence goes
Never try get revenge from these senseless foes
[Chorus]
And I pray, please never let me lose my way
In anything I do and say
I keep Jah in my heart, the father shall carry I cross
Lord I pray, please never let me lose my way
In anything I do and say (yeah I say)
I keep Jah in my heart, the father shall carry I cross
[Verse 2]
Huh
Me likkle bredrin touch 16
Sight up the king and a adjust him dreams
Ones can't overstand a wonder what this means
Develop fear in them heart and them start set fi him
Him tell me, Jah never make him get defeat
So him move like a gaddy and prevail pon the street
You nuh see it
A 3 shot him get fi eat but him still deh ya stand up pon him feet
[Chorus]
Lord I pray, please never let me lose my way
In anything I do and say
I keep Jah in my heart, the father shall carry i cross (you see?)
Lord I pray, please never let me lose my way
In anything I do and say
I keep Jah in my heart, the father shall carry i cross
[Verse 3]
(Watch me now)
You turn you back on the well when you don't drink the water
All the quarrelling it woulda must bring disaster
Fight against your brother just offending the master
Them I couldn't join it woulda must kill me faster
Oooh, I seen the strategy before fi drain Iyah energy hypocrisy for sure
Father please take my nemesis away from Jah premises
[Chorus]
And me say
Lord I pray, please never let me lose my way
In anything I do and say (Selassie I know)
I keep Jah in my heart, the father shall carry I cross (Jah know)
Lord I pray, please never let me lose my way
In anything I do and say
I keep Jah in my heart, the father shall carry I cross
Brr
