Warrior

Oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah

A musical warrior
Jah Lion, Jah Champion, Jah Jah Soldier
Yes. I’m in the war for my Roots & Culture
I am a warrior, warrior

Jah Lion, Jah Jah Soldier
And my weapons of war is Jah words and power

My mission is clear:
I’ve got to spread this message everywhere
A message for justice and for equality
A message for peace
For all of Imanity
A message that my conscious mind and heart is not for sale
A message that the goodwill inna man it must prevail
A message that spiritual upliftment should be the order of the day
Don’t you care what this solider say?

I am a warrior, warrior
A musical warrior
Jah Lion, Jah Champion, Jah Jah Soldier

A musical warrior
Who no tarry yuh
Jah Lion, Jah Jah Soldier
And my weapons of war is my word sound and power

I’m gonna fight until my people get outta babylon control
I’m gonna fight until our true history has been finally told
I’m gonna fight until the children know. . .
When to be humble and when to be bold
I’m gonna fight until man and woman know that love is the greatest power
I’m gonna fight for Mother Earth cause, like she, there is no other
I’m gonna fight until the youths dem know
I’m gonna fight even when I’m grey and old

I am a warrior, warrior

Jah Lion, Jah Champion, Jah Jah Soldier

Oh whoa Yes
I am a warrior

I’ve got to spread this message that a conscience mind is our Jah given right
A MESSAGE TO MY PEOPLE THAT WE CAN DISAGREE WITHOUT HAVING A FIGHT
A message Jah Jah people shoulda rise!
Rise and uplift their spiritual life
A message that we’ve got to learn to open up I & I third eye
The difference between reality and illusion isn’t always a clear sight
Crabs inna barrel just can’t afford to backbite
No
So we’ve got to unite

I am a warrior, warrior
A musical warrior
Jah Lion, Jah Champion, Jah Jah Soldier
Yes. I am in a war, for my Roots & Culture
A musical warrior
Who no tarry yuh
Jah Lion, Jah Jah Soldier
Yes. And my weapons of war is Jah word sound & power
Yeah
