The song "Avocado" by Jah9 is a tribute to the love between two people, and in particular the love that the singer has for her partner's thoughtfulness and kindness. The song begins with the revelation that the singer has a "likkle juvie" named Orlando who lives on a plot of land in western Jamaica. She then goes on to describe how he takes care of her by bringing her avocados, which she loves. The singer is grateful for this gesture and notes how it is a reflection of how much he cares for her.
The second verse of the song features a description of how Orlando takes care of her even when avocados are out of season. He knows exactly what she needs and goes to great lengths to make sure she is taken care of. The singer notes that Orlando is a former soldier and so is built for strength, but he is also gentle and kind to her. She describes him as a "humble lion" and notes how no other woman can come between them.
The song is a beautiful tale of love and devotion, and it is clear that the singer has deep feelings for Orlando. The fact that he takes care of her so well is a testament to his love for her, and the song is a beautiful tribute to the strength and beauty of their relationship.

Who Can Be Against Us?
ROMANS 8:31 NKJ
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us,
who can be against us?
We all face opposition. No one likes it. But opposition is a
fact of life on earth.
But here's a more important fact: with God for us, opposition
doesn't really matter.
With God on our side, what does it matter who opposes us? The
worst anyone can do is kill us -- which would be doing us a
favor. (Being a martyr for Christ and going to be with Him in
Heaven is not bad!)
And never forget: God IS for you!
PSALM 56:9 KJV
9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this
I know; for God is for me.
PSALM 118:6-7 LB
6 He is for me! How can I be afraid? What can mere man do to
me?
7 The Lord is on my side; he will help me. Let those who hate
me beware.
SAY THIS: God is for me, so no one can successfully be against
me....Jah, Bless avocado
