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 "She's Like The Roses" are a tribute to a woman who embodies the qualities of purity, beauty, and cleanliness. The song begins with an emphasis on the importance of cleanliness as a virtue instilled by mothers in their children. The singer declares that he does not judge his love interest based on her status or social class and that he needs her in all situations, even when the weather changes. He praises her natural beauty and her ability to make him feel comfortable and at ease. The chorus of the song echoes the sentiment that she is like a rose, beauty that needs no adornment and pure in her essence.
In the second verse, Sizzla highlights the differences between the object of his affection and other women he encounters. He admires her character, her poise, and her skills at dressing up elegantly. He emphasizes that she is always attending to her own needs and never compromising on her standards. He states that no other man can take off her clothes and that she is his trusted partner who he lives with in peace.
As the song progresses, Sizzla intensifies his praise for the woman he admires. He declares that he has come to bless her in Selassie I's name, and that she is someone he loves and cares for deeply. He affirms that the villagers are also aware of her virtues and are singing her praises as well.
Overall, "She's Like The Roses" imparts the message that true beauty comes from within and that a woman who is pure, clean, and self-sufficient is the epitome of a desirable partner.
