The Messiah Songtext
von Mavado

Umm wo woii
Dem rise against mi
(Valley of the shadow of death, I shall never fret)
Dem mussi think seh dem can stop mi from sing
(Cause I saw the light, no more darkness Selassie I put in da light)

One man mi fear
Ah di Messiah
Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer
Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield
All when shotta a fyah
All when mi nuh have no food no wata
Jah love mi never yet shorter
Mi a talk this for real all di pain mi a feel
Dem a kill wi sons and daughta


Tell dutty mind
Badmind fi fence wi
Dem coulda neva live fi bench wi
Cause to jah gi di praise fi I-shence of days
So wi basket nuh empty
And nuff time dem try fi tempt mi
Muss through mi a lead by far a them see
Dem team up and ah join and try stop mi time
From mi mek mi entry

But a one man mi fear
A di fadda
Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer
Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield
All when shotta a fyah
All when mi nuh have no food no wata
Jah love mi never yet shorter
Mi a talk this for real all di pain mi a feel
Dem a kill wi sons and daughta

Seh weh you waan seh
Do wa you feel
Mi nuh beg fren so we coulda neva deal (real)
From yuh try stop mi meal
Seem like you a send mi to di bakklefield
Press wey you waan press
A yuh a steal
Run wey you waan run, a yuh a wheel
Then straight up then coulda the wa you feel
Man a soldier so mi coulda neva kneel


One man mi fear
Ah di Messiah
Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer
Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield
All when shotta a fyah
All when mi nuh have no food no wata
Jah love mi never yet shorter
Mi a talk this for real all di pain mi a feel
Dem a kill wi sons and daughta

Tell dutty mind
Badmind fi fence wi
Dem coulda neva live fi bench wi
Cause to jah gi di praise fi I-shence of days
So wi basket nuh empty
And nuff time dem try fi tempt mi
Muss through mi a lead by far a them see
Dem team up and ah join and try stop mi time
From mi mek mi entry

But a one man mi fear
Ah di fadda
Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer
Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield
All when shotta a fyah
All when mi nuh have no food no wata
Jah love mi never yet shorter
Mi a talk this for real all di pain mi a feel
Dem a kill wi sons and daughta

One man mi fear
Ah di Messiah
Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer
Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield
All when shotta a fyah
All when mi nuh have no food no wata
Jah love mi never yet shorter
Mi a talk this for real all di pain mi a feel
Dem a kill wi sons and daughta
