"Creator"

Thanks and praises to Creator, Creator
Creator of nature, creator of sensimilla
Creator of ganja; sprang out of Solomon's rest place
And he who smoke it shall obtain knowledge
Skanking on the rock, meditation
Ancestor Blood, ancestor I roots
Rasta thunder roll on Babylon tools, roll
Rasta thunder roll on wicked demons, roll
Jah fire ago burn Babylon, oh Jah
Jah let your judgment triumph over evil doers
Let them feel lightning and fire
For they know not the minute in this iwah
Look around you I say
There is no blemish in Jah work today
Trees give us air to breathe
Sun give us energy
Water quench I thirst
Plant bring forth food to eat
What kind of man could create such creation?
What luck of an explosion
This is no cool incidence
There is no scientist explanation

Creator, creator Oh Jah, oh rasta

I shall never loose my faith, for the sun rise each day
Receive air always, InI must give thanks and praise
Through herb we meditate, through herb we meditate
Incorruptible seed is the word of Jah
And the flower of the field is the glory of man
Yes the flower withers and the glory fades away
But the incorruptible seed endures always

Creator, creator Oh Jah, oh rasta

So many think just smoking make a Rasta
Rasta know the truth, it is written in the Kebra
Through the son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba
Said the power move from Jerusalem to Ethiopia
Herbal inspiration through ganja
Sun grow the hemp, sun give I power
Elements of lightning, thunder, water, brimstone, and fire
Rhythm of life in this reggae musica





Alpha and Omega...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Creator" by Tribal Seeds pay homage to the Creator or Jah, as Rastafarians call the divine. The song reflects on the wonders of creation and acknowledges the role of nature, particularly marijuana, in providing humans with enlightenment and knowledge.

The opening lines of the song express gratitude and reverence for the divine Creator, and the subsequent lyrics attribute the creation of nature and marijuana to the Creator. The mention of Solomon's rest place links the plant to a royal lineage and a connection to the divine. The song suggests smoking ganja as a means of gaining understanding and knowledge. The lyrics also evoke the image of Rastafarian meditation, ancestral roots, and thunder rolling on Babylonian tools and wicked demons, signaling a spiritual battle of good versus evil.


The song conveys a message of gratitude for the many gifts of creation, such as air, water, and food, that humans rely on for survival. The lyrics speak to the essential role of nature in sustaining life and question the notion that humanity is a product of chance or a mere coincidence. The song asserts that creation is the result of the divine will and design, which humans cannot fully grasp or explain. The song ends with a reference to the Alpha and Omega, or the beginning and the end, suggesting that creation is eternal and fundamental.
