New Race (A Way)

[Chorus: Jah9]
A way, a way, a way over
A way, a way out
A way, a way, a way over
A way, a way out
A way, a way, a way over
A way, a way out
Finding a way, a way, a way over

[Verse 1: Jah9]
I am a social scientist gathering information
Observing different cultures in the various different nations
Trodding incognito as a Rastafari artist
Investigating revolution if anyone willing to start it
Marketing the mission as a spiritual experience
And using the opportunity to do some major reconnaissance
To find out all my people living on these black continents
So we can determine a plan of resistance
And mount an effective defense as a way

[Chorus: Jah9]
A way, a way, a way over
A way, a way out
A way, a way, a way over
A way, a way out
A way, a way, a way over
A way, a way out
Finding a way, a way, a way over

[Verse 2: Jah9]
We calling the healers, the engineers, teachers, and creators
Impressing on them the urgency, even helping to process their paper
Seek a common ancestral influence, we sure to find a few
We're not just ready to take instruction, but already know what to do
Those who've been reading and preparing, burning passionately from time
Awaiting on this engagement of the spirit and the mind
And know the time is right upon us, sisters, brothers, ready your station
For the victory is imminent once we commence these activations

[Bridge: Jah9]
We'll find it
There is a will in I that will not be silenced
Born of the first race, now of the new race, mmm
We who have emerged out of their history of violence
Against us
Now we're fully cognizant of how Jah bless us, and we're finding a way

[Chorus: Jah9, Akala]
A way, a way, a way over
A way, a way out
A way, a way, a way over
A way, a way out
A way, a way, a way over (Yo)
A way, a way out (Tonight, we call 'em)
Finding a way, a way, a way over (Yo)

[Verse 3: Akala, Jah9]
The way over's the way out's the way in (Way in)
Seek knowledge, and look within
All of the things that we've been mistaught, but still, we're learnin' (Learning)
I'm so bored to see you distraught, it's really hurtin'
The world is colder than I ever thought, but still, we're burnin' (Burning)
A soldier can't mistake war for sport, and that's for certain
The person, the individual, or the collective
All of these things and so much more, what's your perspective?
Neglected histories remain hidden, and that's on purpose
But all we've got to do is some digging and they resurface
We're often so focused on how things have become
We forget how many victories that we have won
A debt that's ancestral, I bet a man bet you
That the best you can get, you are still lesser than special (Less than special)
But the way out's the way within, we cannot face everything
But before we can even begin, we must look within

[Outro: Jah9]
For a way over, a way out
A way over, away out
A way over, a way out
A way over, a way out
