Naw stand in the path of sinners hi no
Naw sit in the seat of the scornful
Genuine tho out clear
MI do deh one yah fi the righteous on hand
Who lord lord God
Mi a tell you seh sometimes coffee yeh
Sometime tea
Yo likkle pay slip mi come fi take it
No sympathy when mi a make my money hom
Mi no care who mad mi grab granny old bag
Feast up mi tick yah now mi start feel glad
It was a thing change
And a king James
Read couple page now mi start feel strange
Cause it's never to late
It's never too late
Jah is always on time
Jah works change my life
It's never too late
It's never too late
Jah is always on time
Jah works change my life
Remember the days when mi usto go a church
Never take in the lesson know what life really worth
When mi watch mi brother go under the dirt
Him drop out pon the day when I was birth
Yes it was a sad time a really mad time
And in a mi heart all mi a pray a just straight crime
Mi watch mi life as it a go down di wast side
Mi search fi trouble but a Jah mi find
Lord lord
Lord you done so much for me
For me to act like I don't care
How cyan I act like I don't care
In my darkest hour I know that Jah Jah was there
I know that Jah Jah was there
In Jah Vinci's song "Never Too Late," he speaks about his journey towards righteousness and how it is never too late to change one's ways. The first few lines of the song are a reference to Psalms 1:1, where blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners. Jah Vinci acknowledges that he was not always on the right path and that he used to focus on materialistic things, such as his pay slip, without caring about who he hurt or how he made his money. However, he realizes that it's never too late to change and that Jah is always on time, working to change his life.
Jah Vinci reflects back on his youth, remembering the days when he went to church but didn't take the lessons seriously. This changed when he watched his brother die, realizing the value of life and how fleeting it can be. He watched his life spiral out of control, searching for trouble until he found Jah and turned towards a righteous path. Jah Vinci reminds himself that Jah has done so much for him that he cannot act like he doesn't care. Even in his darkest moments, he knows that Jah is there, always ready to guide him towards the right path.
Overall, "Never Too Late" is a song about redemption and the belief that it's never too late to change your ways and start walking on the righteous path.
