Jah Heavy Load
Ijahman Levi Lyrics


I've got to carry Jah heavy load
Because I walk in His gladness
On His merry merry road
I've got to carry Jah heavy load
I've got to back up myself
Against false evidence
I've got to carry Jah heavy load
I've got to pick up where them say
Jah Jah left off and gone
I have to carry Jah heavy heavy load

in my meditation when I reason with Him
Clearly in my visions of dreams
He reason with me
I feel Jah Jah heartically
Oh I know what I do believe
I believe in Jah-Jah truth and rights


I've got to carry Jah heavy load OH
I've got to carry Jah heavy load OH


This rumour situation that is spreading across the nation
Trying to dim the lights
Been precious in my Father sight
Saying that Rasta Father
Trodding this earth no longer
But in Zion is my Father's Throne
And I know the earth is his foot stool


I've got to carry Jah heavy load OH
I've got to carry Jah heavy load OH


He said I feel it every day
I said its heavy every day OH
Jah Jah is a every day
Heavy every day

I've got to carry Jah heavy load
Because I walk in His gladness
On His merry, merry road
I've got to carry Jah heavy load
I've got to back up myself
Against false evidence
I've got to carry Jah heavy load
I've got to pick up where them say
Jah Jah left off and gone
I have to carry Jah heavy, heavy load, ooh-ooh

In my meditation, when I reason with Him
Clearly, in my visions of dreams
He reason with me, I feel Jah Jah heartically
Oh, I know what I do believe
I believe in Jah Jah truth and rights

I have to carry Jah, heavy, heavy load, ooh-ooh
I have to carry Jah, heavy, heavy load, ooh-ooh

This rumour situation
That is spreading across the nation
Trying to dim the lights
Been precious, in my Father sight
Saying that Rasta
Father trodding this earth no longer
But in Zion is my Father's Throne
And I know the earth is his foot stool

I have to carry Jah, heavy, heavy load, ooh-ooh
I have to carry Jah, heavy, heavy load, ooh-ooh

Said I feel it every day, ooh-ooh-ooh
I said it's heavy every day, ooh-ooh-ooh
Jah Jah it's a every day
Heavy every day

Said I feel it every day, ooh-ooh-ooh
Heavy every day, ooh-ooh-ooh
Jah Jah it's a every day
Heavy every day

Ijahman radiates his love and sincerity in his music. I believe he personally carriers a heavy load that gives him the wisdom he expresses in his music.
