Bless Up
Iya Terra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well you see, where I live we burn them down to the ground
Rootikal riddim running all around town, yes I
And you can feel it in the songs we play
Straight from LA, down to the valley
Yeah we got to uplift, we got to uplift all of them dread
We are the youth, and we are strong
Yes we got to keep on moving it along
I said now fire burn, a me say fire is burning in the sunshine state
Im spreading truth so that the youth can relate
Love and positivity can come their way
Yes I said now fire burn, a me say fire is burning
Is such a crucial thing
And I know strictly positive vibes we go bring
Said I know the fire burn, we a go burn them down
Rise up, Rise up, we have to nice up the place
Roots reggae music gonna cool down the pace
With the fire we go burning and the fire we go blaze
So just pass the Tu-Sheng Peng
Bless up, all of me bredren of the dub
And keep it rocking in this roots rhythm
Bless up, if you're feeling one love
A new generation
(Kennedy of Ital Vibes)
We haffi get hi now, we a get by now
With help from my bredren we a try now
To fly on, the righteous path to Zion
Selassie I the first put me on this path that I'm on
Feeling so blessed never stressed (wah)
Babylon put my people to the test
But jah love a cover like a bullet proof vest
Yes babylon a still come and I rep Jah Kingdom
(Karim of Arise Roots)
Well you better know
One people, one blood, in livity in love (in love yeah)
Together we shall unite and rise up above (up above yeah)
We come fierce as a lion
Never hold back because we stronger than iron
Never ever quit, we nah go retire
Never back down because we blaze up the fire
So let it burn
I said now fire burn, a me say fire is burning in the sunshine state
Im spreading truth so that the youth can relate
Love and positivity can come their way
Yes I said now fire burn, a me say fire is burning
Is such a crucial thing




And I know strictly positive vibes we go bring
Said I know the fire burn, we a go burn them down
