Truths & Rights - Protoje, Mortimer

Uh huh

You know we here

Fi the truth and rights

Always

Right over malice

Love over hate

Yeah

Uh huh

Jah Jah bless I with the brightest light

And I a shine it 'pon the youth dem plight

Cah we deh yah so fi truths and rights

Deh yah so fi truths and rights

And until the day that my soul takes flight

Babylon will hear my voice

Cah we deh yah so fi truth and rights

Come yah so fi truths and rights

Yeah ah

Hey

Where to escape to, where to be free

No humanity inna this reality

You no see say man a lose dem life

You no see the whole a we a live one lie

I know it’s never fair to the people

When will it ever be?

When inequality is the way we profiting

That’s the way you keep the youths dem poor

And the only reason is to take some more

Well, are we gonna wait around

Or are we gonna make a sound?

Time to find a common ground

Against the things that bring us down

'Cause Jah Jah bless I with the brightest light

And I a shine it 'pon the youth dem plight

Cah we deh yah so fi truths and rights

Deh yah so fi truths and rights

And until the day that my soul takes flight

Babylon will hear my voice

Cah we deh yah so fi truth and rights

Come yah so fi truths and rights

Have you ever seen a smile on the face of a child that find a way

Out a the place dem reside and keep dem mind

Caught in a state a denial that tell dem, «No!»

'Try you will fail', is a lie

When all the youths need is a chance, not a bly

Some care some kindness reach far, you surprise

Sometimes support change up the course of a life

More time man just waan get a piece a the pie

Cyaan sleep it off

Then wake up next morning and simply repeat the day

Oh yes

So whosoever been exalted, I’mma need you to lead the way

Hey

Who willing fi go mek that step?

Who a go vote fi love when the election set?

Whose ex will be the one to represent what’s next

Or is it just to get that cheque?

Or the dollars weh affect man sense

Is that what is the intention then?

You get the message to a pressbox sent

Decide the answer fi the question dem

Raise your hand up, it’s the next anthem
