Buju & Shaba

In the valley of the snakes Where Jah arrows fly Over the fiery lakes Tongues writhing with lies Keep dancing with the shadow Of the Almighty on high On the road strait and narrow He'll dry all tears from the I Chorus For the music is message music Whether any will hear or forbear For the music is message music Breaking chains, lifting burdens here And song will tell who is wrong and who is right For the music is the message of guidance and light Weep no more, Shaba, weep not Fire on chichi, star, Fire 'pon the wicked that plot Fire at judgment bar Tell the preachers spare the child Tell the carnal, leave it Man with man, nature defiled Tell them, walk above it. You must know, the truth set Buju free To sing truth again Daniel going back to Galilee Jesus, take their fallen chain Chi chi is now for you to weep Your dumb conspiracy For you sow you going to reap Reggae is Jah's legacy
