Jamaica ska, ska, ska
Let's sing a new song
With instruments and dances
sing to the king of zion
he comes with his vengeance
Praise Jah
Ska, ska, ska, ska, ska
Jamaica ska, ska, ska
Praise him at his sanctuary
Praise him in the firmament
For his power and greatness
Everyone that breaths
Praise to the Lord
Ska, ska, ska, ska, ska
Jamaica ska, ska, ska
Reobote Zion's "Jamaica Ska" is a song that celebrates music, dance, and the power of faith in Jah. The lyrics are a call to worship, inviting listeners to sing a new song with instruments and dances. The song opens with the repetition of "ska," a musical genre that originated in Jamaica in the 1960s and is characterized by a fast tempo and upbeat rhythm. The use of "ska" in the lyrics serves as homage to the music that has been synonymous with the island.
The focus then shifts to the king of Zion, who is believed to come with his vengeance. This could be interpreted as a reference to the trials and tribulations that the Jamaican people have faced over the years, including slavery and colonialism. However, the lyrics suggest that despite these challenges, the people remain strong in their faith and belief in Jah. The chorus, which repeats "Praise to the Lord," reinforces this message of gratitude and reverence for the divine.
The second verse of the song continues with the theme of praise and worship, encouraging listeners to give thanks at the sanctuary and in the firmament. The lyrics suggest that the power and greatness of the Lord can be felt everywhere, in every breath. This message of reverence and awe for the majesty of the divine is a common theme in reggae and other genres of Jamaican music.

O que falar do ministério dessas pessoas fantásticas... acompanho desde o inicio e a cada vitória alcançada por eles sinto uma imensa alegria. Que Deus continue abençoando o trabalho de vocês que além de fazerem música de excelente qualidade resgatam as raízes de uma musicalidade que teve seus valores deturpados por alguns aproveitadores. Além disto, ainda louvam aO Senhor.. Deus os abençoe.
