Lyrics
Jah told you in his own words
And I'll see you through
To guide you through this cold world
And I'll see you through
Jah told you in his own words
And I'll see you through
To guide you through this cold world
And I'll see you through
Two steps away from death, a vest and a holster
I detest detectives arresting us over
Weapons possession, they was checking the Rover
Inspecting the tattoos on my neck and my shoulder
How many times I'm one of six coffin holders
Or I'm sitting with goons in the visiting room
Flip it, I could've been you behind state walls, bitten
These are the things that a G pray for
Acquittance, a little stash in the safe for
A little shorty to wait for
Or a shorty to take the weight for
What really did I escape from?
Thought I saw God's face on the design of my vintage Claiborne
Swear I see him every day, y'all, in the bus or the train or
The billboards out there that hang tall
I still give thanks for him, have faith for him
No matter what his name called, sin
Jah told you in his own words
And I'll see you through
To guide you through this cold world
And I'll see you through
Can you think of a color that you never seen?
Can you reminisce on places you never been?
Well, it's many are called but them never deemed
Worthy for the cause 'cause them never clean
Every word themself Jah no raffle dream
That's why me drumming with Jah Jah like a cherubim
Keep me strong through the winter like an evergreen
And all of us are more connected than it ever seem
All things are related and creation is a package
Generate together and we increase the wattage
How them a go manage?
Hail Babylon, them can't do Rasta damage
Nah stop me through the passage
Jah did make a promise, God is always honest
Always keep his word, you no care what the plan is
Don't be astonished, some blim blacks vanish
One day them me gonna live inna the palace, whoa
Jah told you in his own words
And I'll see you through
To guide you through this cold world
And I'll see you through
Jah told you in his own words
And I'll see you through
To guide you through this cold world
And I'll see you through
Yo, yo, some ask me if I feel the Zion is surreal
And in my songs, do I plan to expose and reveal
Word to the curb that's under these chrome wheels
My homies is the only ones I'm taking care of
But severe reality starts to become more clear
And these know-it-all rappers have become more weird
As if they were superior and fans are inferior
How I balance between the streets and the theories of
Collegiate literature, I hold mirrors up
Give combinations of pain, joy, fear, and love
Through my perspective, I can see Jah reflection
In the highest definition, getting high with my brethren
That are asking why is Africans dying from circumcision
They lack proper surgeons, suffer malnutrition
Underestimate the wealth of their own wisdom
It's like it's been exchanged for this penicillin, sin
Jah told you in his own words
And I'll see you through
To guide you through this cold world
And I'll see you through
Jah told you in his own words
And I'll see you through
To guide you through this cold world
And I'll see you through
