High Tide or Low
Jesse Royal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But only in expressing his own opinion
Do-do-do-do
High tide or low, I'll never let Jah go
High tide or low, I'll never let Jah go
High tide or low, I'll never let Jah go
High tide or low, I'll never let Jah go
So, assault me with assumptions as much as you please
But if you touch a button then mi trigger me ah squeeze
Love Christ bad but nuh palm to mi cheek
Cah we come fi realize the earth inherit the meek
Death before dishonor, full stop no comma
Nah stop hail the King or burn mi marijuana
Go where I want, do what I wanna
Ites gold and green, nah stop wave the banner
Cut from a different cloth, I
Listen when the elders talk, hm
Road less traveled man ah walk
You nuh see seh a di highest set ah grades man ah spark? Woii
Talk to me nicely, ram pack and lively
Hotter di battle, sweeter the victory
Dem ting deh excite me
High tide or low, nah let Jah go
After a storm there is a calm, that's why I hold on
High tide or low
After a storm there is a calm, that's why I hold on
I hold on, oh
I know the locks on my head make you feel a way
You cringe every time you hear me hail Jah name
True me nah partake in your hunger games
And we know fi hold we own through the hunger pains
Nah jump ship, safe and secure
Nah see me knocking pon Babylon door
Cah when the table turn the rich will be di poor
Of this I'm sure
Easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle
Than a rich guy to enter Zion
Dem ah get sneakier
Day by day they try to deceive the people
In so many ways
I hold on, oh
I hold on, oh
I hold on, oh
I hold on, oh
High tide or low nah let Jah go
After a storm there is a calm that's why I hold on
High tide or low
After a storm there is a calm that's why I hold on
High tide or low
High tide or low (nah let Jah go)
I'll never let Jah go
After a storm there is a calm that's why I hold on
High tide or low
High tide or low, I'll never let Jah go
After a storm there is a calm that's why I hold on
I hold on, oh
