[Intro: Protoje and Mortimer]
Uh huh
You know we here
Fi the truth and rights
Always
Right over malice
Love over hate
Yeah
Uh huh
[Chorus: Mortimer]
Jah Jah bless I with the brightest light
And I a shine it 'pon the youth dem plight
Cah we deh yah so fi truths and rights
Deh yah so fi truths and rights
And until the day that my soul takes flight
Babylon will hear my voice
Cah we deh yah so fi truth and rights
Come yah so fi truths and rights
[Verse 1: Protoje]
Yeah ah
Hey
Where to escape to, where to be free
No humanity inna this reality
You no see say man a lose dem life
You no see the whole a we a live one lie
I know it's never fair to the people
When will it ever be?
When inequality is the way we profiting
That's the way you keep the youths dem poor
And the only reason is to take some more
Well, are we gonna wait around
Or are we gonna make a sound?
[Bridge: Mortimer]
Time to find a common ground
Against the things that bring us down
[Chorus: Mortimer]
'Cause Jah Jah bless I with the brightest light
And I a shine it 'pon the youth dem plight
Cah we deh yah so fi truths and rights
Deh yah so fi truths and rights
And until the day that my soul takes flight
Babylon will hear my voice
Cah we deh yah so fi truth and rights
Come yah so fi truths and rights
[Verse 2: Protoje and Mortimer]
Have you ever seen a smile on the face of a child that find a way
Out a the place dem reside and keep dem mind
Caught in a state a denial that tell dem, "No!"
'Try you will fail', is a lie
When all the youths need is a chance, not a bly
Some care some kindness reach far, you surprise
Sometimes support change up the course of a life
More time man just waan get a piece a the pie
Cyaan sleep it off
Then wake up next morning and simply repeat the day
Oh yes
So whosoever been exalted, I'mma need you to lead the way
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Protoje]
Hey
Who willing fi go mek that step?
Who a go vote fi love when the election set?
Whose ex will be the one to represent what's next
Or is it just to get that cheque?
Or the dollars weh affect man sense
Is that what is the intention then?
You get the message to a pressbox sent
Decide the answer fi the question dem
Raise your hand up, it's the next anthem
My friend
[Chorus]
