Inna Heights lyrics

"African Pride" by Buju Banton from Album "Til Shiloh"

Thou we struggle
Jah is the ruler and protector of I & I life
All man a bawl (Eh!)

(Ethiopia) Africans with African pride
(Somalia) Fighting to attain our rights
Want no more shedding of blood
For our nation to move forward
(Mozambique) Africans with African pride

Intro:
Got to let this woman know its real
Exactly how the rudebwoy feel
Oh baby, Oh lady (a big bad rhythm)
Yeah

Chorus:
This one is called lovers choice
Never know yuh woulda really feel so nice, (love sponge)
I dont wanna let you go
With you im in no hurry (oh no)

Repeat

Verse 1:
Lord you are lovable, kissable
Desire the inevitable

Verse 1:

The rich man's wealth is in the city

Destruction of the poor is his poverty

Destruction of your soul is vanity

Destiny, mama look from when you call me

Destiny, mama look from when you calling

Chorus
Verse 2
and I know you wont
treat I like others would
warm embrace truly I feel good

Circumstances made me what I am

Was I born a violent man

Circumstances made me what I am

Everyone should understand

Circumstances made me what I am

Was I born a violent man

Circumstances made me what I am

Everyone should know

Verse 1

May sound strange, might sound foolish

But things ain't getting better

Everyday another fall victim to the beretter

Chorus
ive been incarcerated
accused of crime
placed in the bottomless pit pit to do my time
it was the grace
of the most high, savior divine
yeah, im free of bondage
its the every day life if the under privilege
taken into custombadly treated
curfew inner city ever nook and ever cranny
dem claim dem a lock fi rudie

dem spread me out pon a zinc fence
bok off mi cap

Chorus
Lord give I strength
never let I fail
to live out the greater part of my days
give I strength
Jah give I strength
never let I fail
to live out the greater part of my days
give I strength

Verse 1
indeed I see pestilence and plague
but Im not afraid
they are looking for what they can take
come in all size appear in all shape
lord give us vision to differentiate

Only Rasta can liberate the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe for a minute that they are with you
Jah free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe for a minute, they don't like you

Verse 1:
Why try to make I unhappy
Really I don't know
If it was up to them my friend
We would never see the sun nor the snow

Chorus
once again im alone
facing problems on my own
all alone, i dont know what ive done
the pressure just keep on tumbling down
Lord i brawl, Lord i brawl

i know for us the sun shines bright
no matter the crisis well be allright
keeping our goals in sight
though the edens gight
who is our shield and our protector
take a look cause
