Jesse Royal
Some people you'll rate and them still choose to show you hate
Run dem out a yuh yard
From dem a play bad card
Dem a backbiters
Hypocritical two-side lass
We call them modern day Judas
The spreaders of rumors
Oh dem a backbiters
Hypocritical two-side lass
We call them modern day Judas
Spreaders of rumors
Aye, aye, so why should I be afraid of you
When you bleed just like I do
The more you try fight Jah Jah light keep shining through
So I've got no time for you
'Cause in my view you wanna step in mi shoe
You wish you never live a luu and feel so damn confused
Oh every day you wake, you ache because you know you fake
And every step you take a bring you closer to your grave
But I am like a column we no easily shake
Mi certain say fi mi no a unnu can't take
We guided by the Master
Defender of the Fate
Yes, ordained to be Great
Oh dem a backbiters
Hypocritical two-side lass
We call them modern day Judas
And spreaders of rumors
Oh dem a backbiters
Hypocritical two-side lass
We call them modern day Judas
Spreaders of rumors
But you teeth and tongue gonna let you down
Reward for your words shall be profound
Oh screw all you want but go low and drown
Mi slew you like Goliath with a stone from mi crown
Not even the dog that pisseth on the wall of Babylon
Shall escape in this time
So words to the wise choose the right side
And don't be hindered by you foolish pride
I say no weapon formed against I-n-I shall prospa (prospa)
So tell Mr. Force ripe and mawga dog
Disrespect and face disaster
'Cause dem a backbiters
Hypocritical two-side lass
We call them modern day Judas
Spreaders of rumors
Oh dem a backbiters
Hypocritical two-side lass
We call them modern day Judas
Spreaders of rumors
But I man denied concoctions you brew
You can gi mi spliff eh mi neva see a sluu
You can't gi mi stew not even cashews
Some a say mi paro, some a say a narrow views
But I can't forget what Adolf did the jews
And what his friends did to the Tuff Gong too
All in the name of suppressing the truth
But I absolute mi them can't polute
'Cause dem a backbiters
Hypocritical two-side lass
We call them modern day Judas
Spreaders of rumors
Oh dem a backbiters
Hypocritical two-side lass
We call them modern day Judas
Spreaders of rumors
Oh dem a backbiters
Hypocritical two-side lass
We call them modern day Judas
Spreaders of rumors
Oh dem a backbiters
Hypocritical two-side lass
In Jesse Royal's song “Modern Day Judas”, he speaks out against people who pretend to be his friends, but secretly wish to do him harm. He likens them to the biblical figure of Judas who betrayed Jesus. He sings about how these people spread rumors and lies about him, and try to bring him down with their malicious intent. Despite this, Jesse Royal remains confident and unafraid, knowing that he is guided by a higher power and will not be shaken by their actions.
In the chorus of the song, Jesse Royal repeats the phrase, “dem a backbiters, hypocritical two-side lass, we call dem modern day Judas and spreaders of rumors.” This line serves as a warning to anyone who may be tempted to betray him. He also speaks about how he is not afraid of these people, since they are just like him, with the same vulnerabilities and flaws. He reminds listeners that they should choose the right side, and not let pride cloud their judgment.

Introducing Jesse Royal
Some people you'll rate and them still choose to show you hate
There are those you like but they still harbor resentment towards you
Run dem out a yuh yard
Get them out of your life
From dem a play bad card
Because they're up to no good
Dem a backbiters
They talk behind your back
Hypocritical two-side lass
They're fake, two-faced individuals
We call them modern day Judas
They are betrayers like biblical Judas
The spreaders of rumors
They are the ones who spread malicious gossip
Aye, aye, so why should I be afraid of you
Why should I fear someone who is no different from me
When you bleed just like I do
We are all human and equal
The more you try fight Jah Jah light keep shining through
Even if they resist, God's light still shines through
So I've got no time for you
I don't have time for negative, toxic people
'Cause in my view you wanna step in mi shoe
They want to be in your shoes, but can't
You wish you never live a luu and feel so damn confused
They regret their decisions and are lost
Oh every day you wake, you ache because you know you fake
They suffer from their own insincerity
And every step you take a bring you closer to your grave
Their harmful actions will eventually catch up to them
But I am like a column we no easily shake
I am strong and unwavering in my beliefs
Mi certain say fi mi no a unnu can't take
I am sure that my enemies can't bring me down
We guided by the Master
I am guided by God
Defender of the Fate
God protects and guides my destiny
Yes, ordained to be Great
I am destined for greatness
But you teeth and tongue gonna let you down
Their actions and words will hurt them in the end
Reward for your words shall be profound
They will receive consequences for their words
Oh screw all you want but go low and drown
They can try to bring you down, but will only hurt themselves
Mi slew you like Goliath with a stone from mi crown
I can defeat my enemies like David did Goliath
Not even the dog that pisseth on the wall of Babylon
No one can escape God's judgment
Shall escape in this time
No one shall escape consequences forever
So words to the wise choose the right side
Choose the right path
And don't be hindered by you foolish pride
Don't let pride get in the way
I say no weapon formed against I-n-I shall prospa (prospa)
God will protect me from harm
So tell Mr. Force ripe and mawga dog
Tell my enemies
Disrespect and face disaster
Disrespect and face the consequences
But I man denied concoctions you brew
I refuse to consume what you offer
You can gi mi spliff eh mi neva see a sluu
You can give me a joint, but I won't lose self-control
You can't gi mi stew not even cashews
I won't consume what you offer, even if it's food or money
Some a say mi paro, some a say a narrow views
Some think I'm crazy or close-minded
But I can't forget what Adolf did the jews
I won't forget the atrocities committed against Jews by Hitler
And what his friends did to the Tuff Gong too
Nor the oppression faced by Bob Marley and his followers
All in the name of suppressing the truth
All for the sake of suppressing the truth
But I absolute mi them can't polute
They can't corrupt me
