Jo-Ann Greene writes about "Mind Control" AllMusic.com: "Stephen has continued to grow, adding new sounds and styles to his repertoire over the years. A conduit to the past and a bridge to the future, his music -- like his father's -- sounds timeless: reggae that embraces the world."
2004 he started the 27-city Bob Marley Roots, Rock, Reggae Festival tour with his four brothers and sons of Bob – Ziggy, Julian, Damian and Ky-Mani – each of whom have their own professional recording careers. The tour was the first time the brothers have officially performed together on stage.
Every February in Miami, Marley and his brothers perform at his family's annual Caribbean Festival in honour of their late father Bob Marley.

We are soldiers in Jah army
We are soldiers in Jah army
Hear that, I say
Foundation in da Holy place
Rasta man we na run rat race
Hail up the king of kings with grace
Guide my fortune and my fame
Never sell out just to attain
Loyally and I remain,
And I suggest you do the same, again
Foundation in da Holy place
Rasta man we na run rat race
Hail up the king of kings with grace
Give Jah all you thanks and praise
Guide my fortune and my fame
Never sell out just to attain
Loyally and I remain,
And I suggest you do the same
[Repeat: x4]
We are soldiers in Jah army
Only the king of king can sit down on throne
And chase them crazy bump heads from out of the town
And take on Babylon dem evil boys pound for pound
Without ? in his royal gown
Inspire I with clever adjectives and pronouns
To influence da'yout dem with word power and sound
We'll if you build you house pon sand well if must fall down
What does not concern you said leave it alone
Not even one but several of the thing me bust a federal
Issued by the Rasta general, enemies dem meet them funeral
We pick them individual, sniper have dem in a dem visual
Babylon time a reach a minimal, we conquer dem subliminal
There is warfare in a physical and warfare in a spirtual
There is warfare in a digital, and warfare in a clinical
Sing so Babylon marijuana legal check the Rasta medical
Dem think dem could a catch me off guard upon de mineral

[Repeat: x3]
We are soldiers in Jah army
The opening lines of "Jah Army" signal the return of Tidilabopa, a ragga-muffin of sorts, who has come to reiterate his call for everyone to join the ranks of Jah's army. The lyrics relay a message of devotion to the Rastafarian faith and a commitment to living by its principles. The central theme of this song is that being a part of Jah's army means living with a certain sense of purpose while remaining faithful to one's calling in life. The lyrics encourage listeners not to get caught up in the rat race of life but to focus on what is important in their spiritual journey.
The lyrics also highlight the importance of remaining loyal to one's faith and never selling out for money or fame. The repetition of the lines "Foundation in da Holy place, Rasta man we na run rat race" emphasizes the importance of staying true to one's roots and following the path that has been set out for them. The song stresses the need to give thanks and praise to Jah and to seek his guidance in all things.
"Jah Army" is an anthem of sorts that celebrates the Rastafarian faith and its followers. It emphasizes the importance of staying true to oneself, living with purpose, and being part of a community that is united in its commitment to Jah. The song's catchy beat and lyrics make it a popular choice among fans of reggae music.
