Strange Things
Gentle Man Lyrics

I'd rather be saved bye Jah Jah
I prefer to be saved by God rather than by humans

Than to have mankind as my savior
Because I don't trust people enough to rely on them for salvation

Dem never sees to amaze me
People never stop surprising me with their behavior

Strange things they bring to us
Their actions are often unexpected and hard to understand

And only Jah Jah can save we
Only God can truly protect and help us

Now who else can we trust
There is no one else we can rely on

Babylon dem words ya dem a tuff like iron
The government's words are strong, forceful, and inflexible

Trodding through the hills now with the powers of a lion
The government is aggressively and dangerously asserting its authority

No looking back we pon the highway to zion
We are on a mission to reach a better place and won't let anything stop us

No doubt about it Jah love we a relay on
We have complete faith in God's love for us and rely on it completely

From you see me pon the subway
In everything I do, I try to show love and kindness

Everything you see me do me do it love way
I always act with love and compassion towards others

I see dem going down grudge way
I see other people acting with hatred and negativity towards each other

Iniquity can't touch we
We are protected from sin and wrongdoing

Babylon now what me see you try to tek away Jah star
The government is trying to take away our connection to God

Left me to wonder who really are
This makes me question the true intentions of the government

For a stick a marihuana we get lock behind a bar
People are being punished harshly for minor drug offenses

Jah children reputation you a scar
The government's actions are hurting the reputation of God's people

Smoking kills that you mark on your cigar
The government is hypocritical in its approach to drugs and addiction

Dangerous like a bullet from an s-sellar
The government's actions are violent and unpredictable

But tell me how much innocent life you tek so far
How many innocent lives have been lost at the hands of the government?

And all those victims of your wars
The government's actions have caused harm and suffering in war-torn countries

Question me ask so why you don't answer dis
I have questions for the government, but they refuse to answer

How comes you have the youths dem turn and a twist
The government's policies are leading young people astray

Have dem ina the jungle like a tarzan pon a wist
Young people are lost and struggling in a chaotic world

Still dem awaiting Jah wonderful bliss
Despite their struggles, they hold on to their faith in God's ultimate plan

Ask dem already so what left to come
They have already faced so much hardship, what could possibly be left for them to endure?

We already see the destruction from your gun
The government's actions have already caused destruction and harm

Babylon upholding a falling kingdom
The government is trying to maintain a failing system of power

Still we chant down rome and beat the kette drum
We keep fighting for change and justice, despite the odds being stacked against us
