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.
Forever Be Strong

No time to sit and doubt
Some people not knowing life is a cycle
You got to know how to get around
Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
And don't you wait too long
Yes you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there
Conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long
Aye, how you doing
Long time I haven't seen you
Hope you behaving yourself now,

Nothing comes easy
You got to work hard, I'm telling you
Hope and pray for the best,

Give thanks and praise for my life

Opportunity comes but once, so its time for me
I don't think of failure because there's sunshine for me
Something in the back of my head, keep reminding me
Keep a listening ear when I call
There's good, and that's so just be good and stand tall
A lot of people out there wish for me to fall

I pray to he who had created us all
Evils and the demons, woo, I don't stop with them
