                                               African Identity

 

                                                             When I observe the TV, I see

                                                      Some black people are lost

                                                      Devoid of their African identity

                                                           Well you see me, I’m free

                                                    I’ve researched and checked my history

                                                           Their culture can’t please me

                                                             For our identity formed in antiquity

                                                           Total eclipse of the sun recently

                                                              And in Africa them say this is a sign

                                                            From the ancestors who it is said

                                                                Are vex at all the dishonesty

                                                             Those who wont acknowledge reality

                                                             Running from their African identity

                                                                      Lusting after futility

                                                                         Fe wah? Money

                                                                        Money make outa paper

                                                                         Paper come from the tree

                                                                    And the original garden of Eden

                                                                            Was in Africa you see

                                                                    All things have a root, it’s a reality

                                                                       Noh mek babylon fool you

                                                                        Find your identity

 OASIS


Babylon system have the world in it's grip
Having exported their culture to all corners of the Earth
through Films, Air and Ship
Every city has deprived accomodation
Whole families living lives with no solution,
Violence an everyday occurrence
Hard drugs an everyday instance
But look, I see an OASIS
in a desert of despair
Mental nourishment for all to share.
The face of RASTAFARI, It's all in his eyes
The High Preist, Teacher, Jah Kingdom wise.
Self education is everyone responsibility
Cause only thru' education can we build unity.
If one cyaan read, learn
then you on the road to succeed.
Cause Jah forever help them who help themselves
Otherwise the system leave you on a shelf.

Zion train come round again me frein
Coming round again and again
Zion bound a  world without end
Ras Cos Tafari
