Iya Lovin'
Iya Terra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Still another day in the struggle
Times is getting hard, good riddims go bubble
For all the days I was living in trouble
Now every single day I count my blessings on the double
So I play the one drop for them old times
When my eyes were to blind to see
Still a lot of karma to collect, wrongs got to correct
And I know them coming back for me

Still I got to trod on
I keep up
Ever work but the work is never done
This is the time, this is the place
Babylon a never make I go astray
Now with this Iya Iya loving
Go on and bring it back to me
Iya lovin, all of your love
Still I know them days they are numbered
Even when them fading and them changing to another
Give I the strength like a child from the mother
Deliver I from sufferation
Free I from the struggle
Feel it flowing on inside you & I
Precious is the gift of life
We are the foolish and the wise
Enlightened in the darkest of times
So fearful are them wicked for the righteous to arise
And I don't care what none of them say
Play the music we love to play
Can't stop the wave from crashing
I don't care what none of them say
Play the music we love to play
Dream on until the end
Burn them wicked fire judgement
Still I got to trod on
I keep up
Ever work but the work is never done
This is the time, this is the place
Babylon a never make I go astray

Now with this Iya Iya loving
Live up live up live up live up oh yeah
