Jah jah guide me from di hyproctires an parasites,
An guide mi from de enemies wah wan fi tek me life (mi nar go dead)
Ye though I wallk through the valley of death tonight (ah woo)
Thou art with mi, so everything alright.

Please jah jah guide and protect mi, we a show dem love and them hate we
But memba the hotter the battle, me a tell yuh a de sweeter de victory
De system dun forget we, society didn't even care if we drink tea (mm-hmm)
But memba de hotter the battle, me a tell yuh a de sweeter de victory.
(Den not nice)

Me dey pon solid ground,
Dem nar go get me down,
Jah neva let me down before him nar go fail mi now,
Whole heap a youth in ya every morn a wait fi bail ya now,
Show de ghetto youth a way dem tired fi gone a jail ya now,
Gaazaa mii seh, nuh pound a labor yo,
System build de garrison an a we dem fraid a now,
Cause dem know de youth dem wise an nar go tek nuh talk,
Plus we born poor but we have to mek it.

Please jah jah guide and protect mi, we a show dem love and them hate we
But memba the hotter the battle, me a tell yuh a de sweeter de victory
De system dun forget we, society didn't even care if we drink tea (mm-hmm)
But memba de hotter the battle, me a tell yuh a de sweeter de victory.

Gaazaa mii seh! till dem bury mi,
Right beside de whole a de innocent youth dem inna de cemetry,
Weh babylon murder,
Espically, fi every one weh job a thousand more a we. (mi nar go dead)

Please jah jah guide and protect mi, we a show dem love and them hate we
But memba the hotter the battle, me a tell yuh a de sweeter de victory
De system dun forget we, society didn't even care if we drink tea (mm-hmm)




But memba de hotter the battle, me a tell yuh a de sweeter de victory.

Overall Meaning

In the song "Victory" by Kartel, he addresses the struggles faced by those from the ghetto, who are constantly surrounded by hypocrisy, parasites, and enemies seeking to take their lives. However, he finds solace in the knowledge that Jah is guiding and protecting him through the valley of death. He recognizes that the battle is tough, but tells his listeners that the sweeter the victory, the harder the battle. He acknowledges that the system has forgotten them and that society doesn't care about their struggles, but they must persevere and keep on fighting. Kartel sees himself on solid ground, with Jah by his side, and knows that he will not be taken down. He speaks of the need to show the youth a different path and guide them away from jail.

@Benjii2k

So is he like running the Jamaican jails? it seems like he prolly has a full studio in whatever jail he’s in ….. it would be smart for the Jails to cut a deal with him he gets to make and drop music and they get like 50% of what he makes 🤷🏾‍♂️ he prolly gets treated like a king in his jail on some Pablo escabor shit 😂😂
