Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Forever the same, it's only Jah love will remain
Forever the same, never the fortune or the fame
Forever the same, oh we will call upon his name
Forever the same, say Babylon can't hold the flame
[Verse 2]
I hear the questions bickering, tensions thickening
Friends of agendas attention, they listening
Mr. Mention, no intention of giving in
Flame ya, nuh flickering
[Verse 3]
Blaze till yuh sick of him
Back with an Army, raising a nation
Never for the praise of a place from your station
See them displace it so fake
[Verse 4]
Run away man
Health over wealth
I just pray seh mi stay strong
Hand could a tired but
Banner affi fly nah, try switch the grammar fi your honour or no guy
Right over might if it go do mi will fight
Brother like a stunner try to fix my spice
[Verse 5]
Mama Alese said you told me to shine
Don't let these hoes take control of my mind
When they bout to come for I
I'ma a reply
[Verse 6]
Forever the same, it's only Jah love will remain
Forever the same, never the fortune or the fame
Forever the same, oh we will call upon his name
Forever the same, say Babylon can't hold the flame
[Verse 7]
I and I call up on the king
Like goosebumps crawl up on my skin
When the birds up fall up on Redem
I remember when the rasta man father up ma dream
Eventually I did but no man had to tall up him
Just the most I set apart
And I use that to make the war
And stand taller than a shepherds staff
To any trial and tribulation
In any situation
Rasta man stay strong
[Verse 8]
Pyramid, the mark of visi nation
And I said, the Rasta king no need no innovation
But a we seek the knowledge and the information
Free the people that are in frustration
Ayatollah, many are called but the chosen few
No fey obey the unspoken rules
On chant a couple boat and tunes
Probably rung up in the smoke and fumes
[Verse 9]
Forever the same, it's only Jah love will remain
Forever the same, never the fortune or the fame
Forever the same, oh we will call upon his name
Forever the same, say Babylon can't hold the flame
[Verse 10]
Alright, baby spiritually attained
And critically acclaimed
Hook up on your brains
It's thematically drained
Whatever of them sayin'
Whoever that them claim
They will never know my pain
And never give them strain
They must study when they sing
Me a see don' do me ting
Application now begin
Supplication not talking
The net become less about the tune than what I sing
But them knowing that the work was the best it could have been
Hop in the team
De pan the road a tour with me
Don't mean a ting, if the message no about purity
And some mistakes, some stance alright
We know some stand up, you stand if you like
And the stand up, it might get a bone dance a fight
She stands for the light
Some pun on the site
Like the bush de papaya where your gaze and your burn
Then some them crazy you concern
