Selah - Morgan Heritage

They want us to stay blind as a bat

While they move sly as a fox

Oh bwoy

Yes, sir

I tell you few people can see it

Many are blind to it

A change is on the way

Things will no longer be the same

(No way, no how)

Oh no, hear me now

All eyes on America

People and places want to be just like America

And I can’t understand why

When you have beautiful places like Dubai, oh yeah

Lies and propaganda, they speak of Africa

I trod from Nairobi to Addis-Abeba and find

Find the truth for myself

Whoa, why

The world is more beautiful than you know

From Cape Town to Accra to Lagos

So much beauty my eyes behold

So much in school they have never told us

Like how much slaves died on Gorée island, in Senegal

And how much never reach Caribbean islands, whooy

The slave trade was wickeder than you know

And now they return to Africa for the gold and diamonds

While they make it seem like the land

Is just full of poverty, yeah (oh what a lie)

And hungry belly (belly), what a terrible conspiracy

Now we say Selah, there goes the end of an era

No more we are blind to the truth, O Jah

I and I stronger than ever (oh yeah), Jah know

We say Selah, there goes the end of an era

No more we are blind to the truth, O Jah

I and I stronger than ever, Selah

I cry for Jamaica, it hurt my heart fi see

My people of Jamaica

Don’t realise say reggae music is the saviour

Preserving the knowledge of our former selves

Check the youth dem inna Gambia, if you never know

You woulda feel dem born and raised inna Jamaica

To how dem love the culture, Rastafari culture

Dem live the livity as well, yeah

Earth is the Lord’s and fulness thereof

So I have the right to live where I’m loved

And celebrated (celebrated)

No hate can keep me from anywhere in the world

Now we say Selah, there goes the end of an era

No more we are blind to the truth, O Jah

I and I stronger than ever (oh yeah), Jah know

We say Selah, there goes the end of an era

No more we are blind to the truth, O Jah

I and I stronger than ever, Selah

For real, listen

What if I told you ancient stories (true)

Was much simpler than they made it seem (work)

Would you trod it over Zion way (yeah)

See how they doing the things over there

And if you thought there’s something to fear

When you was a little tat

And they say said don’t do this, or child don’t do that

Please, maybe you said you do, maybe you said you don’t

But then you figured it out, so life moved on

Yeah, they be the days of innocent fun

Now we’re living with purpose in Jah kingdom

What’s the prob, what you’re saying, what’s the beef

'Cause the future is determined today, so take a trip son

Now we say Selah (yeah) there goes the end of an era (ah ha)

No more we are blind to the truth, O Jah (no more)

I and I stronger than ever (believe that, oh yeah), Jah know

We say Selah (ah) there goes the end of an era (yeah)

No more we are blind to the truth, O Jah (ah ha)

I and I stronger than ever (for real), Selah
