Sizzla, along with reggae recording artists such as Capleton, Buju Banton, and Anthony B, are credited with leading a movement toward a re-embracement of Rastafarian values in contemporary reggae music by recording material which is concerned primarily with spirituality, social consciousness, explores common themes, such as Babylon's corrupting influence, the disenfranchisement of ghetto youth, oppression of the black nation and Sizzla's abiding faith in Jah and resistance against perceived agents of oppression. Sizzla has over 40 full completed albums sold in record stores to date, the most popular which have been "Black Woman & Child" and "Da Real Thing" on the Digital B label, "Praise Ye Jah" on Xterminator, and "Rise to the Occasion" on Greensleeves.
Recently, however, he has come under fire for the homophobic content of many of his lyrics, and the advocacy of violence against gays.

Be Strong
Sizzla Lyrics
You got to get going
No time to sit and doubt
Some people not knowing life is a cycle
You got to know how to get around
Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long
Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long
Aye, how you doing
Long time I haven't seen you
Hope you behaving yourself now,
Like the good behaving citizen
Nothing comes easy
You got to work hard, I'm telling you
Hope and pray for the best,
Cause I believe in you
Not like the stereo type,
Cleanliness intriguing you
Give thanks and praise for my life
And for us being here
Children times are this good, the system killing us
There's good in us, and we always want you to bring it out
Show the world what we've got
The struggle continues, yow
Check the conditions, in which we living, yow
I now want come giving yow
Got to help to big up inna
Our children going to burry the governors you know
Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long
Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long
People are filled with expectations, that's fine with me
Opportunity comes but once, so its time for me
I don't think of failure because there's sunshine for me
Something in the back of my head, keep reminding me
Keep a listening ear when I call
There's good, and that's so just be good and stand tall
A lot of people out there wish for me to fall
I'm not scared
I pray to he who had created us all
Evils and the demons, woo, I don't stop with them
Heard they don't like, aye, what's up with them
I just can't do without Jah love
Because it's like the oxygen
I doh in no folly, I doh inna no crap with them
Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long
Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long
Aye, how you doing
Long time I haven't seen you
Hope you behaving yourself now,
Like the good behaving citizen
Nothing comes easy
You got to work hard, I'm telling you
Hope and pray for the best,
Cause I believe in you
Not like the stereo type,
Cleanliness intriguing you
Give thanks and praise for my life
And for us being here
Children times are this good, the system killing us
There's good in us, and we always want you to bring it out
Show the world what we've got

Check the conditions, in which we living, yow

Got to help to big up inna
Our children going to burry the governors you know
Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long
Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long
