Lyrics!: Queen Omega

If SKILL were a female (and I think she is) in the form of a human I'm pretty sure that I know who she'd be. Throughout these features we've liked to focus on artists who definitely show a high level of skill in every case, but today we're going to shine the spotlight in the direction of someone who, from the very first time she was heard, has very much been someone who has not only displayed an extremely high stage of ability, but also someone who's talents have consistently appeared to have GROWN throughout her rise to prominence. These days, we don't really observe gender in this particular subject in her case, because what she is capable of ranks on the high end of the highest end in Reggae music. Her we have ten completely random spacious spectacles of speech from one of the most talented artists in Reggae today. Queen Omega. 

Queen Omega

 'Footsteps'

"To walk in Jah Jah footsteps, footsteps

Footsteps, footsteps

Jah is my only friend - 

Who sticks with to the end

Footsteps, footsteps

Footsteps, footsteps

Jah is my only friend - 

Who sticks with me to the end

I had a start, I had to make a change

I did some shuffling

And I rearranged

For my life to have no meaning, I had to turn a clean page

Let go and let The Father lift me to a higher place

I can't forget, how HE filled me up with grace

So full of mercy, HE forgive my dirty ways

HE's for real!

HE promises to lengthen up my days

If I would only give HIM the praises - 

That's due unto HIM

That's why I hail The King of all Kings

From whence cometh help, from whence I get di blessing

So majestic and go trodding with Empress Menen

Inna Ithiopia the whole earth bow down unto HIM

With Rastafari you can learn di purest way of living

Learn, how to be humble, caring and loving

Di birds build di nest

Di monkeys dem climbing

Mankind betta catch di timing"

'Jah Dawta'

"I am Jah dawta

I'm living for The Most High

Emperor Selassie, Ababajahnoy

I am Jah dawta, doing my Father's will

Teach you how to love, I never teach you to kill

Yow, I come to tell you HE's no lamb to no slaughta

I come to tell you HE's The Lion of Judah

HE's The King of Kings and The Lord of Lords

Babylon get conquah

Smooth sailing, Tafari is my anchah

They say a virtuous woman is so hard to find

Blessed is the man who seek, for he will surely find -

A woman who is pure and divine

Physically, spiritually and mentally inclined!"

'Can't Stop'

"Let the children hear my song on the radio

Wantt the people sing my tune 

Cause I'm hot like a ball of fire when the sun rise

Setting in the afternoon

See when I open my mouth and the fire comes out -

I'm afraid it will burn their skin

Queen Omega - You know you got the victory

With Selassie I you must win

Dem caah stop Rastafari

No matta how dem try

Nuff a dem ah watch mi wid dem bad eye

But mi ah look up from Zion 

Dem caah stop I!

Bless mi wid a likkle more time on the microphone

Never write mi off like a page

It seems that the righteousness bubbling over - when I reach on the stage

See when start fi chant

More fyah you go want

Oh, according to your works you'll be paid

Yuh neva si Rasta mix-up in yah lay lay

Set up a plan inna babylon

Come Selassie children

Trodding through HIS gates

Righteousness exalts a nation

During frustration, gotta keep the faith

Seek HIS kingdom

For your freedom

Caah tek it inna babylon

Nuh disillusion, and mi nah fraid fi seh it"

'Hold On' w/Anthony Que

"During tribulation, only Jah you depend on

HE's the one to see you through

Along life's journey, it wouldn't be easy, Jah will show you what to do 

Just seek HIM daily from you rise up early

HE's the one who keeps you strong

Just singing praises to the Rock of Ages

The King who sitteth on the throne!

Hold on, no give it up 

Rastafari will full ya cup

Keep on going, don't you stop

Hotta lava, ready fi erupt

Burn out di evil, dem too corrupt

Dem kill di shepherd, mislead di flock

Rasta children got di city lock - 

With LOOOOOVE!"

"Destiny" [2005]

'Selassie I Know'

 "Selassie I know that I cannot do without you

Selassie I know yah true

Selassie I know that I cannot live without you

Selassie, I love you

I must go to the place, where there's no creed or race

Filled with love and humanity

And there's no partiality

No colour, no black, no white

No malice, no prejudice - equal rights

Mama Afrika is the highest high

Fi repatriation wi ah fight!"

'Ganja Baby'

"I love to burn

Cause I love to learn

The weed opens up my mind

And I ain't blind

It's not a crime to BLAZE - 

The marijuana, BLAZE -

Up the chalwa, BLAZE -

The sensimilla, BLAZE

Blaze up the chalice 

Soon mi build a ganja palace -

Inna Wonderland, like di one Alice

Love di cannabis, why -

I am a ganja baby

Sometime mi friend dem call mi Ganja Lady 

Smoking ses, it's no buts, no maybe

Blazing everyday till wi ganja crazy"

'Travelling'

"Travelling, travelling, travelling

All over the world

Spreading the message of love

Doing my duties, cause I'm on a mission

And it's a long time I've made this decision

To be the eyes for those without a vision

Free up di people who are tied to religion

Well, Rasta messenger, nuff times I am passenger

Passing distant lands how fast, dem seh I am a superstar

I'm a Rasta

Call me Rastafari

Bringing good tidings of Emperor Haile I

Everyone has a purpose

Everything has a season

Everything has a right time

And everything for a reason

And I was born to serve mankind!

I am the voice of the people

Jah leave me nothing to temptation -

But! Deliver me from all evil

Sometimes I'm up

Sometimes I'm down

So I meditate on The King of Kings who wear The Triple Crown

Cause inna my heart, HE bring so much joy that I can spread around

And I, do it with pleasure, moving from town to town

Well, got to be strong 

No choice to do it wrong

With righteousness, I override di beast, pound for pound

Gimmie di pen and paper and for you, I'll write a song

WITH WORDS OF WISDOM SO HIGH, IT WILL LIFT YOU OFF THE GROUND"

'Away From Babylon'

"Far away from babylon

Closer to Mt. Zion

I wanna be with my Lion

Conquering of The Tribe of Judah

Who sitteth in Holy Mt. Zion

Of the Trinity, HE is the power

And I'm called by HIS name - RASTAFARI!

The works of His Imperial Majesty, Haile Selassie I -

Is adored, deeply in my mind

And I know, I'll be on my way sometime!

Far away from babylon

Closer to Mt. Zion

Far away from babylon

[I'm on my way]

Closer to Mt. Zion

[Going someday]

There is no time fi waiting

So you betta be ready

See when the ships be sailing

We'll be cruising, smooth and steady

Seven miles of Black Star Liner - across Jah ocean

Prophisied by Marcus Mosiah Garvey

Stepping out of the confusion and the commotion

Take a rest from the west and ease yah tension"

'Revolution' w/Gentleman

"The ghetto youths tired of the mixups and the brainwashed mentality

Babylon ah mek dem lose dem sanity

No love inna dem heart, dem no care for humanity

Materialistic: So dem ah run dung vanity

Mi really it's not the youths dem to blame

The leaders and di elders - well dem ah cause di pain

A promise is a comfort to di fools in vain

AND WHILE WI HAVE NUTTIN, DEM ALLOWED FI GAIN!

'Reggae Ambassada' [MAD!]

I wish I could fly away and never return

When babylon is gonna gimme mi turn

Brimston, lava, hotta fyah will burn, burn, burn!

I am a revolutionist

Upon di microphone mi form it and spit lyrics

Fully loaded, gun cocked, I am ballistic

And when I'm on di road -

Rough and ready inna stickshift

Automatically top a di statistics

Rastafari dun tell yuh natural is di mystic

I dawta in Christ but mi nah deal wid crucifix

I am well fixed

Dem seh mi badda, but mi first upon di hitlist

Don't call me local

I'm internationally blessed wid my vocal

I tell you this

Don't call me - no local artist

While I'm an ambassada in dis Reggae business

Don't call me local

I'm internationally blessed wid my vocal

I tell you this

Don't call me - no local artist

I am a ambassada in dis Dancehall business

Longtime inna di business

Di battle it hard but not for the switftest

I got di endurance

Some say I've got di fitness

Studio, live shows, mi fans are di witness

Dem love mi, dem greet mi wid hugs and kisses

My interest, is to give it to di masses

Tell dem bout truths, equal rights and justice

Hail The King of Kings who sit inna di highest

Inna di highest"
