Lyrics

[00:22.05] Jah told you in his own words
[00:26.25]
[00:27.35] And I'll see you through
[00:29.48]
[00:32.03] To guide you through this cold world
[00:35.81]
[00:37.22] And I'll see you through
[00:39.03]
[00:41.83] Jah told you in his own words
[00:46.12]
[00:47.16] And I'll see you through
[00:49.21]
[00:51.95] To guide you through this cold world
[00:55.75]
[00:57.06] And I'll see you through
[00:58.93]
[01:00.23] Two steps away from death a vest and a holster
[01:02.87] I detest detectives arresting us over
[01:05.28] Weapons possession they was checking the rover
[01:07.64] Inspecting the tattoos on my neck and my shoulder
[01:10.16] How many times I'm one of six coffin-holders
[01:12.65] Or sitting with goons in a visiting room
[01:14.98] Flip it I could've been you
[01:16.39] Behind state walls bidding
[01:17.96] These are the things that a G pray for acquit us
[01:20.40] A little stash in the safe or a little shorty to wait for
[01:23.50] Or a shorty to take the weight for him
[01:25.40] What really did I escape from
[01:26.98] Thought I saw gods face on the design
[01:28.92] On my vintage claiborne
[01:30.43] Swear I see em every day in the bus or the train
[01:32.94] Or the billboards out there that hang tall
[01:35.56] I still give thanks for him have faith for him
[01:38.18] No matter what his names called
[01:39.51]
[01:41.06] Jah told you in his own words
[01:45.08]
[01:46.55] And I'll see you through
[01:48.73]
[01:51.23] To guide you through this cold world
[01:54.99]
[01:56.45] And I'll see you through
[01:58.24] Hey can you think of a colour that you've never seen
[02:02.05] Can you reminisce on places you've never been
[02:04.31] Well is many are called
[02:05.65] But them never deemed
[02:06.84] Worthy for the cause
[02:08.09] 'Cause them never clean
[02:09.27] Help who help themselves
[02:10.64] Jah nuh raffle dream
[02:11.69] That's why me chummy with Jah Jah
[02:12.99] Like a cherubim
[02:14.21] Keep us strong through the winter like an evergreen
[02:16.63] And all of us are more connected than it ever seems
[02:19.26] All things are related and creation is a package
[02:21.97] Generate together and we increase the wattage
[02:24.47] A how them a go manage
[02:25.77] Tell Babylon them can't do rasta damage
[02:27.97] Nor stop we through the passage
[02:29.41] Jah did make a promise god is always honest
[02:31.85] Always keep his word don't care what the plan is
[02:34.39] Don't be astonished
[02:35.53] Stumbling bocks vanish
[02:36.80] One day the meek gonna live inna di palace woah
[02:39.84]
[02:40.60] Jah told you in his own words
[02:44.67]
[02:45.90] And I'll see you through
[02:48.09]
[02:50.53] To guide you through this cold world
[02:54.46]
[02:55.76] And I'll see you through
[02:57.56]
[03:00.41] Jah told you in his own words
[03:04.55]
[03:05.67] And I'll see you through
[03:07.73]
[03:10.13] To guide you through this cold world
[03:14.42]
[03:15.64] And I'll see you through
[03:17.41]
[03:18.88] Some people ask me if I feel the zionists are real
[03:21.39] And in my songs do I plan to expose and reveal
[03:24.11] Word to the curb that's under these chrome wheels
[03:26.28] My homies is only ones I'm taking care of
[03:28.57] But severe reality starts to become more clear
[03:31.15] And these know-it-all rappers have become more weird
[03:33.61] As if they were superior and fans are inferior
[03:36.58] How I balance between the streets and the theories of
[03:38.93] Collegiate literature I hold mirrors up
[03:41.41] Give combinations of pain joy fear and love
[03:43.89] Through my perspective I can see Jah reflection
[03:46.09] In the highest definition getting high with my brethren
[03:48.68] Could've asked us why Africans dying from circumcision
[03:50.42]
[03:51.07] They lack proper surgeons suffer malnutrition
[03:53.72] Underestimate the wealth of their own wisdom
[03:56.12] It's like its been exchanged for this penicillin
[03:58.10]
[03:59.66] Jah told you in his own words
[04:03.99]
[04:05.07] And I'll see you through
[04:07.17]
[04:09.60] To guide you through this cold world
[04:13.88]
[04:14.92] And I'll see you through
[04:16.87]
[04:19.52] Jah told you in his own words
[04:23.82]
[04:24.86] And I'll see you through
[04:27.23]
[04:29.55] To guide you through this cold world
[04:33.53]
[04:34.79] And I'll see you through
[04:36.62]
