THIS SOUND Nattali Rize & Jo Mersa Marley

Intro:

Babylon a burn when they hear this sound.

Yeah dem a go cry when they hear it now.

Verse:

See we been blazing our own trail so keep outta the way.

With a whole lot of vision and a whole lot to say, coming from all 4 directions, that’s the ones that we take so it’s

no wonder you can’t keep up with the progress we make.

Can’t hold back the mission when the time come around.

Can’t stop a Lioness when she ready to pounce.

Singing for all generations, building a Nation, a Queen Creator turning people into Warriors now.

Chorus:

Babylon a burn when they hear this sound.

Yeah dem a go cry when they hear it now.

Verse:

So you know me. Turn up the heat a thousand degrees, so mi slew the beast, so wikid it be, you know the steez,

no me nah ease, a sekkle the seas. Me gone overseas fi free up my peeps and guess who mi see, more family,

what a surprise Nattali Rize, if babylon wise dem not even try.

Man a King and babylon dem couldn’t govern mi ting, garlic peel a weh mi use fi all a covid 19,

caw mi nah go be no slave to babylon dem system so mi bun dem out in every tune and every riddim.

So mi give thanks to the Most High cause Life is a Blessing and speak of Love to the old and to the adolescents.

An when you stumble just stay humble, in it is a lesson, an nah fall inna dem trap I’m begging you fi listen; Dem

want you to occupy a grave or a cell in a prison, so when we’re speaking of progress I waan yu see di vision, an

burn babylon like a pot pon fyah in di kitchen cause Nattali & Jo Mersa deh pon di Mission.

Chorus:

Babylon a burn when they hear this sound.

Verse:

Now this a real situation, hear this communication. I’m giving formal invitation to Rize education.

In a time of elevation you need no reservation you just Free Your Mind, forward in and join the formation.

Yeah I took it from the streets to get it this far. There’s no end to what I’d do to bring you my art.

From a poor neighborhood but rich in my heart, they may think I’ve come a ways but I’m just making a start.

Said the fire’s burning hot still we’re just warming up. Yeah they say they want Love so we fill up their cup. Said

they got a special feeling from the song that we were dealing and that ‘Music is the Healer’ once is never

enough. So I stand by these riddims and testify, with my heart on my sleeve go touch the skies and every time

that you see me I’m slaying the beast so that one and all can keep Rizing and living with Peace.

Chorus:

Babylon a burn when they hear this sound.

Yeah dem a go cry when they hear it now.
