Testo Tension - Jah9
Testo della canzone Tension (Jah9), tratta dall'album Songbird Riddim
I'm never gonna give Jah up no matter what
There is tension building inside I, and I'm trusting I spirit to guide I
Even if no else overstands, I have got to do what it demands
I eyes and ears might deceive I, friends and family might leave I
But it's a righteous tension a-brew, so I must prepare for what I might have to do
I don't have a problem in the world
Solution oriented, simple Island girl
Passionate, compassionate with patience as a science
Endorsing love and unity promoting self-reliance
Balancing I emotions, tempering I temperament
Maintaining I composure and learning when to vent
But as injustice grip the masses more and more
The pressure makes them numb, instead it makes me show a-dem
There is tension building inside I, and I'm trusting I spirit to guide I
Even if no else overstands, I have got to do what it demands
I eyes and ears might deceive I, friends and family might leave I
But it's a righteous tension a-brew, so I must prepare for what I might have to do
Misleaders use semantics to manipulate us
Meaningless promises to keep us in a state of
Catatonic apprehension empty hands up to the sky
The art of misdirection used to disguise the lie
Telling us decisions made are for our good by those whom we elect
When in actuality they merely reflect
An ulterior agenda to profit in their term
So, the people only matter when the people help them earn (help them earn)
So dem currupt system get burn (and get burn) (hot)
That why there's tension building inside I, and I'm trusting I spirit to guide I
Even if no else overstands, I have got to do what it demands
I eyes and ears might deceive I, friends and family might leave I
But it's a righteous tension a-brew, so I must prepare for what I might have to do
But I'm never gonna give Jah up no matter what
(Never, never, no way)
Imagine the morning you awake to find the soldiers on your street
Tanks on every boulevard, police on every beat
Choppers hovering but a stillness in the air
How will you be feeling, relieved, or filled with fear?
Then, the radio announces that the leader's going to speak
Adrenaline explodes as your attention peaks
He says, "You may already notice the plans for your protection"
Put in place to neutralize potential insurrection
But have no fear the force is here with tear gas, bombs, and guns
So, no undesirables will compromise the flow of funds
Tell me where will you be standing? What will you plan to do?
When you realize the enemy is you
It's you, it's you, it's you
Which side of the law are you on?
Are you with the masses, or are you the protected one?
Tell me which side of the law holds your place?
Do they defend you, or can they stick that gun in your face?
Tell me where does your allegiance lie?
Does the struggle entertain you, or does it make you cry?
Is it clear where your conscience will reside? One day you might have to decide
That's why there's tension building inside I, and I'm trusting I spirit to guide I
Even if no else overstands, I have got to do what it demands
I eyes and ears might deceive I, friends and family might leave I
But it's a righteous tension a-brew, so I must prepare for what I might have to do
In this tension building inside
But I'm never gonna give Jah up
No matter what
(Rastafari)
