(with Damian Marley)
2
[Chorus - Jr. Gong]
3
Jah told you in his own words
4
And I’ll see you through
5
To guide you through this cold world
6
And I’ll see you through
7
Jah told you in his own words
8
And I’ll see you through
9
To guide you through this cold world
10
And I’ll see you through
11
[Verse 1 - Nas]
12
Two steps away from death, a vest and a holster
13
I detest detectives arresting us over
14
Weapons possession, they was checking the Rover
15
Inspecting the tattoos on my neck and my shoulder
16
How many times I’m one of six coffin-holders
17
Or sitting with goons in a visiting room
18
Flip it, I could’ve been you
19
Behind state walls bidding
20
These are the things that a G pray for, acquit us
21
A little stash in the safe or a little shorty to wait for
22
Or a shorty to take the weight for him
23
What really did I escape from?
24
Thought I saw God’s face on the design on my vintage Claiborne
25
Swear I see em every day in the bus or the train
26
Or the billboards out there that hang tall
27
I still give thanks for him, have faith for him
28
No matter what his name’s called
29
[Chorus - Jr. Gong]
30
[Verse 2 - Jr. Gong]
31
Hey can you think of a colour that you’ve never seen?
32
Can you reminisce on places you’ve never been?
33
Well is many are called
34
But them never deemed
35
Worthy for the cause
36
Cause them never clean
37
Help who help themselves
38
Jah nuh raffle dream
39
That’s why me chummy with Jah Jah
40
Like a Cherubim
41
Keep us strong through the winter like an Evergreen
42
And all of us are more connected than it ever seems
43
All things are related and creation is a package
44
Generate together and we increase the wattage
45
A how them a go manage?
46
Tell Babylon them can’t do Rasta damage
47
Nor stop we through the passage
48
Jah did make a promise, God is always honest
49
Always keep his word, don’t care what the plan is
50
Don’t be astonished
51
Stumbling bocks vanish
52
One day the meek gonna live inna di palace, Woah!
53
[Chorus - Jr. Gong]
54
[Verse 3 - Nas]
55
Some people ask me if I feel the zionists are real
56
And in my songs do I plan to expose and reveal
57
Word to the curb that’s under these chrome wheels
58
My homies is only ones I’m taking care of
59
But severe reality starts to become more clear
60
And these know-it-all rappers have become more weird
61
As if they were superior and fans are inferior
62
How I balance between the streets and the theories of
63
Collegiate literature, I hold mirrors up
64
Give combinations of pain, joy, fear, and love
65
Through my perspective I can see Jah reflection
66
In the highest definition getting high with my brethren
67
Could’ve asked us why Africans dying from circumcision
68
They lack proper surgeons, suffer malnutrition
69
Underestimate the wealth of their own wisdom
70
It’s like it’s been exchanged for this penicillin
71
[Chorus - Jr. Gong]
