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
