Jah Is by My Side
Bosphoroots Lyrics

Mankind is no more kind
Humanity has lost its kindness and compassion

Western World belittle I&I
The Western world looks down upon and trivializes us

Them seh 'Middle East just a hell' they don’t know
They claim that the Middle East is only a place of suffering, but they are ignorant of its true nature

This land fruitful, holy and wise
The Middle East is abundant, sacred, and full of wisdom

Merciful like bosom of moms
It is as nurturing and compassionate as a mother's love

Them nuh know here’s a cradle for mankind
They don't realize that this region is the birthplace of humanity

When everytime i sit and think some
Every time I reflect on things

All i’ve seen is full of destruction
I have witnessed nothing but devastation

From the time along western colonization
Since the era of Western colonization

There is no time for stop and cry
There is no time to pause and lament

Cause the shitstem rules and always try
Because the corrupt system reigns and constantly tries to maintain control

Like a stark raving mad! I almost lose my mind
It's maddening! I nearly lose my sanity

I never gonna lose my mind
I will never lose my sanity

Cause i know that Jah is by myside
Because I believe that God is with me

Big up all sufferers big up and rise
Highly praise all those who suffer and rise above it

Stand firm and always try to break your ties
Remain strong and strive to break free from oppressive bonds

Anything you do in vain fi di babylon
Any efforts you make under Babylon's influence are futile

Rise and shine people while there’s a time
People, awaken and seize the opportunity

No man can help you except yourself
No one can assist you except for yourself

Breath once deeply then you find your essence
Take a deep breath and reconnect with your true self

So mi see mi after a big bad curse, you know
I have experienced a major curse, you understand

Babylon them reproduce chains over again
Babylon keeps recreating oppressive chains

Surveil and discipline is everywhere
Surveillance and control are ubiquitous

Them vision open into hell everyday
They are constantly exposed to a hellish reality

Thousands of years them impose pon i&i
For centuries, they have imposed their authority on us

Them seem like hunter but mi like a chanter
They appear as hunters, but I am a spiritual singer

Rasta di third world ancient master
Rasta is the enlightened figure of the third world

We a di humble sheep of HIM pasture
We are the obedient followers of God

Oh Jah without you mi work no prosper
Oh God, without you, my efforts would not succeed

Enough is enough, ey
The current situation is no longer tolerable
