Chronixx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An yo see when the tables turning
Mi seh a love high an high preaching
So every land of hate will burn
I was there when the ships came
An chastise high inna Jesus name
Wonder if mi crazy
But the whole a Rome a go go up inna flames
()
A no nothing fi mi walk inna Rome an start a fyah, start a fyah
A no nothing fi mi walk inna Rome an start a fyah, start a fyah
Cause dem a wonder how a likkle African
A go burn down the whole a inna Vatican
But a no nothing fi mi walk inna Rome an start a fyah, start a fyah
(2)
Mi a go Rome the whole demography
An when mi talk, an mi no Hippocratic
When mi seh Rome, an it no geography
But if a you fi wear the cap then a you wi claffy
When mi seh Rome mi a talk bout lion
Oily Selassie high the power a the triant
The eagle, an the drogan, an the bear a spit fyah
But dem cyaa over throw the konkering lion
Listen to the voice of Jah people
Today Rome will burn
A no me alone a Jah over evil
Seh today Rome will burn
(Repeat )

A no me alone Ital a come
Teflon a walk wid the Ital a bun
AN when yo feel a earth quake straight down a ground
A no gun a shades that a come

(Repeat 2 – Listen to the voice of Jah people)
The song "Start a Fyah" by Chronixx talks about a burning desire for justice and a need for change. The first verse speaks to the resistance faced by those fighting for equality and fairness in society, as the powerful do not want to let go of their hold on power. However, the tables will eventually turn and the message of love and positivity will take over, thus burning down the hate and negativity that have been entrenched in society. In the second verse, Chronixx also makes reference to the history of colonization, where Europeans invaded and imposed their way of life on Africans, who resisted and fought back. The reference to Rome burning serves as a metaphor for the changes that are needed for a more equitable and just society.
There is also a religious undertone to the song with references to Jesus and Selassie, highlighting the importance of spirituality in the fight for justice. The repetition of the phrase "Listen to the voice of Jah people" is a reminder that there are many voices calling for justice, and they all need to be heard.
