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 lyrics to Sizzla's "I Don't Like" are actually in Japanese and not English. The opening lines, "Narubanaruba kisun narubanaruba kisun, nanda nanda Kiss shi tai yo, I love yo!!!" are roughly translated as "Lovey-dovey kiss, lovey-dovey kiss, what is this, what is this? I want to kiss you, I love you!" This sets the tone for a song about infatuation and desire.
The chorus continues with the repeated phrase, "koi ko koi koi koigokoro," which roughly translates to "love, love, love, heart of love," emphasizing the main theme of the song. The second verse includes lines such as "yoru wa nani kite ne te masu ka?" which ask "what are you doing tonight?" and "koyoi mo ichi nin shu," meaning "let's be together tonight."
