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.

In "No Pain In Jah Love," Sizzla invokes fundamental human rights, including the right to liberty, life, and security of person. He urges his listeners to join him in calling upon Queen Elizabeth and the Crown of England for freedom and repatriation. His reference to Ethiopia, where the Rastafari movement finds its roots and source of spiritual inspiration, speaks to his desire to return to Africa, the motherland. Sizzla speaks of the power of love to set one free and the joy it brings, alluding to the phrase "no pain, no gain" but flipping it on its head by saying that in Jah love, there is no pain.
The chorus repeats the message that in Jah love, there is no pain that they have found. The second verse refers to the beauty of words and the power of love to solve problems, likening love to the sun that shines after the rain. He calls his listener "my beloved," expressing his affection and closeness to the person. In the third verse, Sizzla acknowledges that there can be tears and pain in life, but by calling upon the name of Emmanuel and with the help of Emperor Selassie I, all pain can be annihilated. He invites his listener to come back to him and be loved again.
