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 arresting us over Weapons possession, they was checking the Rover Inspecting the Tattoos on my neck and my shoulder How many times I'm one of six coffin holders Or I'm, sitting with goons in the visiting rooms Flip it I could have been you, behind state walls biddin' These are the things that a G pray for Acquit us, a little stash in the safe or little Shorty to wait for him Or a Shorty to take the weight for him What really did I escape from? Thought I saw Gods face on the design in my vintage Claiborne Swear I see Him every day y'all In a 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's called Seen! 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 you never been? Well is many are called, but them 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 we strong through the winter like an Evergreen And all of us are more connected than it ever seemed 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 we through the passage Jah did make a promise, God is always honest Always keeps his word, Yow nuh care what the plan is Don't be astonished, Stumbling blocks vanish One day the meek gonna live inna di palace Woah! 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" 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 taking 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 are 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, getting high with my brethren Then I ask him why is Africans dying from circumcision They lack proper surgeons and suffer malnutrition Underestimate the wealth of their own wisdom Its like its been exchanged for this penicillin Seen 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"
