Too Much To Bare
Sizzla Lyrics

Well dem done know say Emperor for ganja
It is well known that Emperor Hailie Selassie I smokes ganja and is still alive, blessed by Jah.

Emperor Hailie Selassie I, who sit up in the north to fight you up and look to the east himself yuh know You know say Babylon down step as Rasta upset John Pope the beast
Emperor Hailie Selassie I represents the righteous path, and Rastafarians are rebelling against Babylon's oppressive system, led by corrupted figures like John Pope.

Babylon you're too much to bear can't afford to do that now I've got to keep my heavens clear And I've got alot of youths to care you keep on givin double gaow then by what means do you share? hey Too much to bare can't afford to do that now I've got to keep my heavens clear, Jah alot of youths to care you keep on givin I double gaow, go dey
Babylon's oppression is unbearable and harmful, preventing Sizzla from focusing on his spiritual and family duties. Babylon is greedy and unjust, taking more than it gives, and this constant pressure makes it hard to maintain a clear conscience.

Well den, taking all fi go stock inna yuh bank Fi hours hear mi call and you turn and insult You've been too bad for the heath of an adult a baby is much better a result
Babylon values money over human life, ignoring Sizzla's pleas for help and even mocking him. Babylon causes harm to adults due to its selfish and reckless ways, and this will result in future generations of innocent children suffering the consequences.

Well now ghetto youths mi afi ask is it that hard to see, the sickness that befall I n I is so many? And we ah doctor that just so kill of mi family Is ah try to fight an I for me hailin you
Sizzla questions why Babylon cannot see how many social issues the ghetto youths face and how their actions contribute to this suffering. Babylon's policies are like poisonous medicine that end up harming families and not healing them. Babylon's attack on Sizzla and his religious beliefs is an attempt to silence their voices.

Watch how the compelling us to fight foward all the blood Just thru you try so nuff ghetto youths dead but Rasta fire bun the dead we all did hail Emperor Hailie Selassie instead Could dem, mi friend dem do it all the while nah reach no where, now dem smile me wonder what next dem ah tell me say Mi tell the whole ah dem unite him have dem no did dey mi smile and now mi talk and nuff ah dem ah go astray
Babylon is instigating violence and causing casualties among the impoverished youth, but Rastafarians are using their spiritual power to honor the dead and reject Babylon's false values. Sizzla predicts that Babylon's tactics will fail, and encourages unity and righteousness instead of destruction and greed.

But Babylon is too much to bear can't afford to do that now I've got to keep my heavens clear And I've got alot of youths to care they keep on givin double gaow then by what means do they share? Babylon, too much to bare can't afford to do that now oh oh Anyhow we nah go bow oh no and I've got alot of youths to care Oh no
Again, Babylon's pressure and corruption get in the way of Sizzla's spiritual and social responsibilities to his people. Babylon is still taking more than it gives, and Sizzla is tired of being forced to comply with this unjust system. However, Sizzla won't give up his values and won't let his people suffer.

Well make them know, Oh yes the works of Jah, I man gladly accept be still and let it carried out and many success Selassi I, I holla out He I solace standing watchful for my people in this west Whoa Ethiopia for all burn faces, there so everything start, some people village Oh my people you are more than big every black man you see ah more than royalty Cuz me know that's why mi know
Sizzla finds solace and strength in Jah's teachings and accepts His guidance. He believes Jah's works will succeed with time, and that Hailie Selassie I is looking after his people even from afar. Sizzla is proud of his African roots and the power of the Black community, and Jah's spirit is the source of this unwavering confidence.

They're so much to bear can't afford to do that now I've got to keep my heavens clear And I've got alot of youths to care you keep on givin I double gaow then by what means do you share? Oh oh Too much to bare can't afford to do that now I've got to keep my heavens clear, lot of youths to care you keep on givin I double gaow mi say dey
Sizzla insists that Babylon's pressure is unmanageable and that he has to keep his spiritual and social conscience clean. Again, Babylon is taking more than it gives, and Sizzla is tired of its double standards. Nevertheless, he keeps caring for his people and won't let Babylon stop him.

Dem taking all fi go stock inna dem bank Fi hours hear mi call and you turn and insult You've been just too bad for the heath of an adult a baby is much better a result Well watch ah now know is it that hard to see, the sickness that befall I n I is so many?
Babylon values wealth and ignores people's suffering, including Sizzla's. Babylon puts adults and children's health at risk for its own gain. Sizzla is frustrated that Babylon can't see how many problems it causes to him and his fellow people.
