The Master Has Come Back
Damian Marley Lyrics

A your youth you know, wew
As a young person, you already know.

For the master has come back, gong the originally
The master has returned, signaling the beginning of something significant.

Run for the grand finale, mi inna mi Clarky-Wally
It's time for the big finish, and I'm ready for it.

For the master has come man, man, I do it regularly
I'm used to the master's return, and it's a regular occurrence now.

Through every hill and valley, it's normal for me now
I've been through difficult times and easy times, and now, the master's return feels normal.

For the Master has come back, It's Mr. Warm and easy
The master's return is comforting and easy-going.

She could never leave me, somebody please believe me
I know she'll never leave, but others doubt it.

For the master has come back, I'm mad wid it
I'm thrilled that the master has returned, and I'm excited to see what happens next.

Boom, we learn from the old school
We learn important lessons from the past.

When strictly thugs used to run it
Back when violent criminals were the ones in control.

When one wheel really was the move
When one-wheel vehicles were popular and trendy.

Long before Bogle start dance
Before the dancer Bogle started making waves.

And still pon deh paper money
Even though times have changed, money is still valuable.

Police alock up man fi them shoes
The police are arresting people for their shoes.

That simply mean the station full up
The police station is overflowing with people.

A bare Clark boot and bally
People are wearing Clark boots and bally (shoes).

From England whe' spankin' new
These shoes are brand new and from England.

Before man start to mek flex
Before people started showing off and flaunting their material possessions.

When then used to mek dally
When people used to take their time and not rush things.

And speak of the rights and truths
People used to talk about what is right and true.

If unno starvin' fi di brain food
If you're hungry for knowledge.

Man have it fi feed you like porridge
I have knowledge to share, like a bowl of porridge.

Weh rich inna dreadnut juice
My knowledge is influenced by Rastafarian culture.

'Cause nuff a wah dem learn in university and college
Because there are many things I know that can't be learned in school.

It water down and dilute
Education can often lose its potency and effectiveness when it is oversimplified or generalized.

I tell you street smarts wi carry you through life like a cartridge
Street smarts are invaluable and can help you navigate life just like a cartridge helps a gun work.

From a survival point of view and if what you seek is the truth
If you want to survive and find the truth, street smarts are essential.

And to increase knowledge, now you surely can't lose, why?
And if you want to gain more knowledge, you can't go wrong with street smarts.

The return of the dread I when I get back
My return signals the return of Rastafarian culture.

The entire empire will start to strike back
This return will transform the entire culture.

Well, a bare army green full up mi flight park
My flight park is full of army green clothing, a symbol of Rastafarianism.

Some red eye guy wonder which bank we hijack
People might wonder if we are involved in illegal activities.

And a we the voluptuous girls a smile at
The girls are attracted to us and smile at us.

Any bwoy nuh like dat, him gone pon ice box
If someone doesn't like it, then they can go away.

We can be dangerous like how the night black
We have the potential to be dangerous, just like the darkness at night.

We will dip and come up
We will go through hard times but always bounce back.

Select and slide back and seh she loves my culture
We'll choose our opportunities carefully and introduce people to Rastafarian culture.

Herbs and my locks, silky smooth way I flow
My persona involves smoking herbs and having long, lustrous hair, and a smooth musical flow.

My words and my tracks
My music and lyrics.

She's hoping we can spend a night at
She's interested in me and hopes we can spend the night together.

Somewhere that's warm and cozy, why not?
Somewhere intimate and comfortable would be nice for both of us.

She's been wanting me since my Karl Kani drop
She's been interested in me since I first became famous for my style.

And she needs the substance, not the hype chat
She wants real connection, not just hype.

For dark clouds do bring rain, baby
Difficult times can lead to better things in the future.

Here comes the sun to shine again
Good times are coming again.

She could never leave me, even if you don't believe me
She's not going anywhere, even if others doubt it.

Boom! I know you're loving the goods that I'm delivering
I know you're enjoying my music and lyrics.

Up in your neck of the woods so you can live again
In your part of the world, my music can bring life and energy.

Who is the cock in the coup which part the chicken in
Who is the person in charge and responsible for causing problems?

And dem a copy the books that I have written in
People are copying my style and ideas.

And when you hear from the shout, dem no have no discipline
When those people become loud and obnoxious, it's clear they have no self-control.

And dem a run up dem mouth, them never listening
They're always talking and never listening to others.

And when the Gong no deh bout, I know you're missing him
When I'm not present, you miss me and what I represent.

'Cause lyrically no doubt I'm Nitroglycerin
My lyrics are explosive and impactful.

Mi touch down it's carousels of luggages, my flip phone
When I arrive, I have a lot of luggage and a simple flip phone.

My car cell, my messages, my girl bring me parcels and packages
My phone is important for communication, and I receive gifts from my girlfriend.

Marijuana cigar smells in palaces
The smell of marijuana is present in my luxurious surroundings.

A few coil must pop off for di charities
I'll make sure to donate some money to charities.

'Cause politician a palave' pon dem promises
Politicians make promises but rarely deliver.

A new face will fulfill the prophecies
A new leader will emerge to fulfill the prophecy.

It's too late for two faced apologies
It's pointless to apologize when you were two-faced in the first place.

When fire tun down low we're only simmering
When things get tough, we're still simmering with energy and potential.

Anyhow we start get cold, dem would be shivering
Even if we start to lose our enthusiasm, others will still be afraid of us.

Not everything is gold because of glittering
Not everything that looks good is actually valuable.

Tell dem fi clean dem soul from all di littering
People should focus on cleaning up their souls, not just their surroundings.

And they don't own di throne dat they be sitting in
Those in power don't actually own their positions.

And it was just a loan they're only sitting in
Their positions of power are temporary and borrowed.

And when the king come home well what a bitter thing
When the true leader returns, it will be a difficult and bitter experience for those who were in power.

Nashing of teeth and moaning upon bickering
Those who were in power will be upset and angry when they're replaced.

Well, mind you catch the flow it can be sickening
My flow can be so powerful that it might make you feel sick.

Only a few are chosen for the reckoning
Only a select few will be held accountable for what they've done when the reckoning comes.

It's Rastarfari's that unno living in
We're living in and embodying Rastafarian culture.

And it's a lion's jungly unno visiting
We're in a place that feels wild and untamed, like a lion's jungle.

I know you've seen the posters of my images
You've seen advertisements featuring me and my music.

Upon your streets and close to all your villages
These advertisements are all over your community.

My metaphors unfolding with my similes
My lyrics are packed with metaphors and similes, bringing meaning to every word.

Woman can go dance again, boom
My music will make women want to dance again.

For the master has come back
The master has truly returned, and everything is changing as a result.
