He was born on 17 April 1976, in St Mary, Jamaica, of devout Rastafari parents and raised in August Town. He is unusually prolific, even by Jamaican standards. Sizzla has worked with such artists as Mobb Deep.

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.

Whoa oh oh oh aye
I and I so strong
I ah Ethiopian, Ethiopian
This comin' from ah distance

CHORUS
Take these words of divine
To the princess right away

Tell her to be fine
I don't want her to stray
Words of divine,
To the empress right away
Tell her to be mine
I don't want her to stray

Knowin your portion, 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 our tongue
Nature grows and prove you're qualified
To know and overstand no segregation
That is not the works of the wise

CHORUS
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 termoils in live
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

Words of divine,
To my princess right away

Defiling all the stock upon the shelf

The whole of uno come from the heap

Tell her to be fine

Tell her to be mine
Never go astray

Words of divine
To the empress right away

To all the woman them right away
Put Selassie pun your mind...
