In His Own Words (feat. Stephen Marley)

Jah told you in His own words

"And I'll see you through

To guide you through this cold world

And I'll see you through"

Jah told you in His own words

"And I'll see you through

To guide you through this cold world

And I'll see you through"

Two steps away from death, a vest and a holster

I detest detectives, arrestin' us over weapons possession

They was checkin' the Rover, inspectin' the tattoos

On my neck and my shoulder

How many times I'm one of six coffin holders?

Sittin' with goons in the visitin' room

Flip it, I could've been you behind state walls biddin'

These are the things a G pray for, acquittance

A little stash in the safe or a little shorty to wait for him

Or a shorty to take the weight for him

What really did I escape from? Thought I saw God's face

On the design of my vintage Claiborne

Swear I see Him every day, y'all, in the bus or the train

Or the billboards out there that hang tall, I still give thanks for Him

Have faith for Him, no matter what His name called, sin

Jah told you in His own words

"And I'll see you through

To guide you through this cold world

And I'll see you through"

Hey, can you think of a color that you never seen?

Can you reminisce on places that you never been?

Well, it's many are called but are never deemed worthy for the cause

'Cause them never clean, help who help themselves

Jah nuh raffle dream, that's why me chummy with Jah-Jah

Like a cherubim, keep us strong through the winter like an evergreen

And all of us are more connected than it ever seem

All things are related and creation is a package

Generate together and we increase the wattage

A how them a go manage? Tell Babylon them can't do Rasta damage

Nor stop us through the passage, Jah did make a promise

God is always honest, always keep His word

You no care what the plan is

Don't be astonished, stumblin' blocks vanish

One day the meek gonna live inna da palace, whoa

Jah told you in His own words

"And I'll see you through

To guide you through this cold world

And I'll see you through"

Jah told you in His own words

"And I'll see you through

To guide you through this cold world

And I'll see you through"

Yo, yo, some ask me if I feel that Zion is surreal

And in my songs do I plan to expose and reveal?

Word to the curb that's under these chrome wheels

My homies is the only ones I'm takin' care of

But severe reality starts to become more clear

And these know-it-all rappers have become more weird

As if they were superior and fans were inferior

How I balance between the streets and the theories of collegiate literature?

I hold mirrors up, give combinations of pain, joy, fear and love

Through my perspective I can see Jah reflection

In the highest definition, gettin' high with my bredren

Then I ask Him why Africans is dyin' from circumcision

They lack proper surgeons, suffer malnutrition

Underestimate the wealth of they own wisdom

It's like it's been exchanged for this penicillin, sin

Jah told you in His own words

"And I'll see you through

To guide you through this cold world

And I'll see you through"

Jah told you in His own words

"And I'll see you through

To guide you through this cold world

And I'll see you through"
