Sizzla, along with reggae recording artists such as Capleton, Buju Banton, and Anthony B, are credited with leading a movement toward a re-embracement of Rastafarian values in contemporary reggae music by recording material which is concerned primarily with spirituality, social consciousness, explores common themes, such as Babylon's corrupting influence, the disenfranchisement of ghetto youth, oppression of the black nation and Sizzla's abiding faith in Jah and resistance against perceived agents of oppression. Sizzla has over 40 full completed albums sold in record stores to date, the most popular which have been "Black Woman & Child" and "Da Real Thing" on the Digital B label, "Praise Ye Jah" on Xterminator, and "Rise to the Occasion" on Greensleeves.
Recently, however, he has come under fire for the homophobic content of many of his lyrics, and the advocacy of violence against gays.

The cycle repeated as explosions broke in the sky
命运证明它重复着当爆炸在天空出现时
All that I needed was the one thing I couldn't find
我所需要的是我在这个世界找不到的
And you were there at the turn
而你站在那儿
Waiting to let me know
We're building it up
我们建立起世界
To break it back down
再将它彻底摧毁
We're building it up
我们建立起世界
To burn it down
再把它化作火光，燃烧殆尽
We can't wait
似乎迫不及待般地
To burn it to the ground
要将它烧毁化为尘土
The colors conflicted as the flames climbed into the clouds
鲜血，白骨，灰尘，火光，交错堆叠 随着升腾的烈焰攀入云端
I wanted to fix this but couldn't stop from tearing it down
我想修理弥补这一切但无法停止将它撕裂破坏
And you were there at the turn
而你站在那儿
caught in the burning glow
站在那燃烧的火光之中
And I was there at the turn
而我在那里等候
Waiting to let you know
等着要让你明白
We're building it up
我们建立起世界
To break it back down
再亲手将它摧毁
We're building it up
我们建立起这一切
To burn it down
再将它燃烧殆尽
We can't wait
似乎迫不及待般地
To burn it to the ground
要将它烧毁化为尘土
You told me yes You held me high
你给我肯定的答案 你高高将我举起
And I believed when you told that lie
我也会去相信你所说的谎言
I played soldier You played king
我当士兵 你做国王
And struck me down when I kissed that ring
在我低头亲吻你的戒指时趁我不备捅我一刀
You lost that right to hold that crown
你无权再拥有那王冠
I built you up but you let me down
我协助你登上高峰 但你却让我失望
so when you fall I'll take my turn
在你马失前蹄时我就会采取行动
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
在你被焚烧之时扇一把风
And you were there at the turn
而你就在那儿
Waiting to let me know
等着和我摊牌说
We're building it up
我们建立起这一切
To break it back down
只是为了要将它彻底摧毁
We're building it up
我们建立起这一切
To burn it down
只是为了要将它燃烧殆尽
We can't wait
我们迫不及待地
To burn it to the ground
要将它烧毁化为尘土
When you fall I'll take my turn
所以当你失蹄时 我将伺机而动
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
而当你惹火上身时 我会扇风助燃
We can't wait
我们迫不及待地
To burn it to the ground
要将你烧化为尘土
When you fall I'll take my turn
所以当你失蹄时 我将采取行动
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
而当你惹火上身时 我会扇风助燃
We can't wait
我们迫不及待地
To burn it to the ground
要将罪恶的当权者化为尘土
The song "Burn It Down" by Linkin Park is a powerful anthem that captures the frustration and anger felt by those who are tired of the cycles of destruction and reconstruction in society. The lyrics describe a world where everything is built up only to be torn down and burned to the ground. The singer wishes to break the cycle and start anew, but is caught in a world where lies, betrayal, and broken promises have left everything in ruins. The chorus repeats the line "We can't wait to burn it to the ground" to emphasize the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate action.
The imagery in the song is intense, with explosions breaking in the sky, flames climbing into the clouds, and colors conflicting in a chaotic scene of destruction. The singer is angry at the lies he has been told and the betrayal he has experienced, feeling that he has been used as a pawn in someone else's game. He wants to take his turn and fan the flames of destroy everything that has been tainted by corruption.
Overall, "Burn It Down" is a powerful call to action that speaks to those who are tired of the injustices of the world and want to see change. It is a reminder that while it may be difficult to break the cycle of destruction, it is not impossible, and that it is up to us to take action and make a difference.

The cycle repeated as explosions broke in the sky
Destiny repeats itself as bomb blasts light up the sky
All that I needed was the one thing I couldn't find
The missing piece in my life was the one thing I couldn't discover
And you were there at the turn
You were present when my life took a turn
Waiting to let me know
You were patient in informing me
We're building it up
We are constructing a world
To break it back down
Only to dismantle it again
To burn it down
To set it ablaze and burn it to the ground
We can't wait
We are impatient
To burn it to the ground
To completely destroy it by burning it down
The colors conflicted as the flames climbed into the clouds
The flames caused a mix of colors and ascended to the sky
I wanted to fix this but couldn't stop from tearing it down
Although I wanted to repair the situation, I couldn't stop myself from destroying it
caught in the burning glow
Caught in the fiery light
And I was there at the turn
I was also there when the tide turned
Waiting to let you know
Awaiting the moment to inform you
再亲手将它摧毁
I'll be the one destroying it
我们建立起这一切
We built everything up
再将它燃烧殆尽
Only to burn it down completely
You told me yes You held me high
You agreed with me and supported me
And I believed when you told that lie
I had faith in your false statements
I played soldier You played king
I was just a soldier, you had the power of a king
And struck me down when I kissed that ring
And you attacked me when I showed loyalty
You lost that right to hold that crown
You no longer deserve to wear the crown
I built you up but you let me down
I helped you rise but you disappointed me
so when you fall I'll take my turn
So when you stumble, I will take over
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
And I will add fuel to the fire as you burn
而你就在那儿
And you are just there
等着和我摊牌说
Ready to confront me
只是为了要将它彻底摧毁
Only to annihilate it
我们迫不及待地
We are desperately
要将你烧化为尘土
To burn you down to ashes
所以当你失蹄时 我将采取行动
So when you falter, I will take action
要将罪恶的当权者化为尘土
To reduce the evil leaders to nothingness
