Trodin´ On
Gentleman Lyrics

Simmer down, gather round and share the vision
Calm down and come together to listen to the message.

Brothers and Sisters
Addressing all people as equals.

Lift your voice and we will listen in the middґs of last days,
Speak up and be heard in these troubled times.

As we pray for new beginnings
Hope for a fresh start.

Make amends for the past and find new ways to make decisions,
Acknowledge past wrongs and seek new solutions.

To the Muslims, Jews and Christians burn the borders
Breaking down divisions between religions.

And baptize all our sons and daughters
Welcoming everyone into a new way of thinking.

On common shores of common waters,
Coming together in shared space.

Understand the metaphor,
Grasping the deeper meaning.

See the race goes not to the swift but to he who adore
Success comes from devotion, not just speed.

Yes we keep Trodin on...
We are persevering despite challenges.

Through all thus streets and valley's
No matter where we go, we are united.

Unification turn Babylon down
Working together to overcome oppression.

Blessed with roots and culture
Proud of heritage and traditions.

Here me now again fi prise the true word are da
Listen to the message being put forth.

No follow the lass of science but the lass of nature
Putting faith in natural solutions rather than technology.

An the youths we chant for dem are the future
The young people are the hope for the future.

Burn down Rome and dem politics structure
Rejecting corrupt political systems.

Dem not know di question dem wan give we di answer
Those in power don't always have the right answers.

Use and abuse me wonder what dem a tek we fa
Questioning the motives of those in power.

Burn we a burn no bother blaze with fire
We will stand up for what we believe in without fear.

Let us gather under the seeders in the sycamore trees
Let us come together in nature.

Let us be a leaf amongst leaves amongst the righteous man and thieves
We are all the same, regardless of our background.

In times of crisis let us walk wit ease and shine bright
In difficult times, we must remain calm and positive.

Leave the blind wide at the darkness what was lost must come to light
Expose the truth and uncover what has been hidden.

Nuff a dem feel dem vibes and dem drive di avoided
Many people ignore the message and refuse to act.

The truth afi repeat so now a det try fi bun it
The message must be repeated until it is heard.

Change ino ways and stop gwan bad minded
We must change our thinking and act positively.

Promuness stop seek and promised land you a go find it
Don't wait for someone else to save you, take action yourself.

Let us find a resting place no mater culture critter race
We must work together, regardless of differences.

Ina world dat fast pace communication often double face
In a fast-paced world, communication can be deceitful.

Beyond dem cost of living may hays dem move on
We must find a way to move forward despite challenges.

Let us form a bond detґs everlasting like the past to trod upon
Creating a strong lasting connection between people.

And meditation oblif me
Meditation brings me peace.

Keep me sheltered me from the hindicrity
Protects me from harm.

Your brightness and integrity shall preserve me
Righteousness and truth protect me.

Jah guide and protect me who wants scare me
The divine protects those who believe.

Hypocritical people are you we a go bun
Those who are fake and deceitful will be exposed.

Could a be di bear di higel ared did are gon
Even the strongest can fall.

Don't give up the fight you have to move along
Persist in the face of adversity.

Many more nights we walks are you fist and strong
We will continue to move forward with strength and resolve.
