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.
Unity Is Strength
Sizzla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
I can't stand this indecision
Paired with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never never never never need it
One headline why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world.
Firstly, it is important to note that these lyrics are not actually from Sizzla's song Unity Is Strength. These lyrics are from the song Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears. However, it is possible to interpret them in the context of Sizzla's song and explore how the themes of these lyrics may relate to the message of Unity Is Strength.
The lyrics in Everybody Wants to Rule the World speak to a desire for power and control that is shared by many individuals and groups in society. They suggest that this desire is often driven by fear and a sense of insecurity, and may lead people to act selfishly and without regard for the needs and well-being of others. However, the lyrics also acknowledge that this drive for power and control can be accompanied by a sense of regret and remorse, suggesting that those who seek to dominate others may be aware on some level that their actions are not just or moral.
One way to interpret the connection between these lyrics and Unity Is Strength is to see Sizzla’s message as a response to the negative aspects of this "rule the world" mentality. In Unity Is Strength, Sizzla stresses the importance of cooperation and mutual support, arguing that the true path to power and influence is through unity rather than domination. By working together and supporting each other, Sizzla suggests, we can build strong communities and achieve great things, without the need to dominate or exploit others.
