Heart clear movement, Yeah
Jah Vinci's song "Oh Jah Jah" speaks to the struggles that life often deals to people, both materially and spiritually. The first verse talks about how in a world that values materialism and instant gratification, one must still hold on to spiritual values. The line "Digital, I rather divert than its physical, I say I still ah keep spiritual" speaks to the fact that even though technology and material things are present everywhere, faith and spirituality should still be held close to the heart to maintain inner peace and direction.
The chorus talks about how life can be tough, hopelessness and confusion can set in, but faith in Jah will always carry you through both physical and emotional pains. Jah is seen as a supporting figure who is always there to carry the burden when one's strength has run out. The line "When life hurts and do you wrong" acknowledges that life can sometimes be unfair, but through faith in Jah, one can find the strength to carry on.
The second verse talks about not losing focus on one's spiritual journey despite distractions and challenges. The line "I never lose I focus yet, all when mi friends gone, Jah Jah never left" talks about the importance of spiritual grounding even when one is going through loss or isolation. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the line "Heart clear movement" reaffirming the importance of faith and spirituality in navigating life.
