lyrics

Trial of the city

I hear the vibe of the rastaman song singing and chanting in the heart of Zion
I hear the sound of the trumpet blowing out calling dem people to the mountain on river side we know

The city of war we nah into
Mountains & hills we into
Swimming pool with blood inna it dem de thing me no into
River with the spring with bird dem sing in the night time in the mountain me into
Drink me corn meal porridge with bread and knowledge dem day type of life we into
You see shooting & killing , red eyes bad mind dem day thing me no into
One thing me half tell you when me done dis ya one you half know about the right way to do too
Don’t hate fi your mother and your father and your sister over bread and nothing way you do
You kind to me me kind to you that all of we to do to

You know why ? Life’s hard and the city man dem shuffle like card
Man chop you up me say yes well fast
People bad mind me say and red heart
Dem nah like you man me know dem to ras
Stay far from dem don’t drive near at all
Not even drink water from dem yard
Don’t throw no food and feed dem dog dem a devil dem a wicked inna dem heart
Real Rastaman Guru Warrior a talk

Mi mother ,mi father mi sister and bred
The city is hot big crocodile and alligator lion mix up with hyena and tiger
Man way bad mind dem will eat you for your dinner
Me nah go be dinner fish which is a snipper
Me fraie of the whale and barracuda.
I’m the dolphin, the flipper of the water
Me haffi left the city and go further

Let me tell you 'bout the war time
Everybody know 'bout a date Tim
Everybody know that is not a nice time
Everybody talk a losing time
Me bredda tell me say is a worse time
Dem deh run take off him clothes off the line
Him ahead to the mountain fi the full time
Tired of the city everybody’s too blind
No man nah see no man nah learn
Every man a talk bout man skin fi burn
No angel no inna the city fi di table turn
Mountain up there, man deh it turn
Sing my song and hear this words
The city of trial you know we haffi earn
The wicked man skin man you know it haffi burn
The righteous skin man think haffi turn
But the long time we deh ya man we know we haffi make a turn

Shatta what happening in JA
How the little youth dem all a turn all shatta
All of murder people mi say from de corner
Dem nah remember rastafari none Ethiopia
King Sellasié know me say him a de leader
Dem a fight against the ruler and the power
Open up the seven seal and show how dem order
Rastafari tell dem now
