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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I and I so strong, I ah Ethiopian, Ethiopian
This comin' from ah distance
Take these words of divine
To the princess right away
Tell her to be fine
I don't want her to stray
To the empress right away
Tell her to be mine
I don't want her to stray
Knowin' your person, who knows your motion
Joyful will I be in your eyes
Put-a put away pollution, sabbatical strong
Royalty belongs to my side
Let us care for the younger ones
The children needs our tongue
Nature grows and prove you're qualified
To know and overstand, no segregation
That is not the works of the wise
Words of divine
To the princess right away
Tell her to be fine
Never go astray
Words of divine
To all the woman right away
Put Selassie pun uno mind
Never go astray, hey
Confuse not your heart with the turmoils in life
Oh oh, Oh woman of the isles in strife
That's what I behold in my sight
You no fi stop hail King Selassie I
Oh what family you fright
Bless her down with faith, take this to her gate
With love before the falling of the night
These words of divine
To the empress right away
Tell her to be fine
And never go astray
Words of divine
To my princess right away
Tell her to be fine
I'll be there on the day
I see round and about I hear the sounds from the mouth
Defiling all the stock upon the shelf
I've been the least, yet me trod fi east

Tell her to be fine

Tell her to be mine

Knowin' your motion, I knows your portion
Joyful will you be in my eyes
Put-a put away pollution, sabbatical strong
