Vigilant - Randy Valentine

By Marshalla

Check it

Well, easy King Iver 'pon the control

Don't you dare disrespect it

It a go rough, it a go rough

It's gonna be dread, it's gonna be dread

Ah haa

Bow!

Mek the war start to rass

Me a no one a dem weh see the thing and nah talk (puw!)

Life is like a movie, it move me

But this yah rebel yah no dead inna the last part

Not at all (say dem block it)

Dem say dem block it and me cyaan pass (wha?!)

When me hear da topic deh me start laugh (hahaha)

'Cause the rebel rocket still a blast off

Man haffi tuff it out at all cost

That a say...

Hold up your head, 'cause it's gonna be dread

(It's gonna be dread)

And stay vigilant, stand firm

Don't you get misled, misled

I a no push over, I and I a soldier (I a soldier)

Dem think it over, tell dem think it over

(Tell dem think it over)

Hold up your head, 'cause it's gonna be dread

(It's gonna be dread)

Spiritually, the world is being revolutionized

Ex-generation, yeah man, dem youth yah wise

Nuff people try monopolize and monetize the energies

And you nah go see it if you're not a wise one inna this battlefield

You waan know how a spiritual tackle feel

Mek sure you got your shield (bow!)

I don't know enough to know if being black is real

But I know that once you've cracked the seal

The beast is cracked its meal, fi real

Mister modern-day Columbus

Kidnap and trap a few a the rebels and throw dem 'pon the dumb bus

Promise dem milk and honey

It's funny 'cause only some buss

Nuff get skip and deh 'pon the ship

And a wait 'pon dem trip fi turn dust

But I no come fi tek orders

Jah is before Columbus and borders

Jah is the captain, Jah is commander

Govern me own thing, me run the corners

When me corner me don't mean line

Me mean mind, soul or body and brain

And it's not a pretty thing, trust me

It tek a lot of discipline

But you know man haffi maintain

My strength (Jah!)

So, hold up your head, 'cause it's gonna be dread

(It's gonna be dread)

And stay vigilant, stand firm

Don't you get misled, misled

I a no push over, I and I a soldier (I a soldier)

Dem think it over, tell dem think it over

(Tell dem think it over)

Hold up your head, 'cause it's gonna be dread

(It's gonna be dread)

Child of the silence, I could have turned to violence

I could have been hiding from??

Instead I wait inside and decided to silence the wildness

Inside my mind I had to dig deeper to find

A brand new meaning of life, I know this feeling is right

Unlike the feeling of fiending for hype

If that's how you feel, no big deal

Gwaan live your life

Do weh you do fi bring calm in your life

But 'member the tongue is a sword, so you're born with a knife

Watch what you say and to whom you pray

Like a thief in the night, inna broad daylight

Babylon gone with our life

So...

Hold up your head, 'cause it's gonna be dread

(It's gonna be dread)

And stay vigilant, stand firm

Don't you get misled, misled

I a no push over, I and I a soldier (I a soldier)

Dem think it over, tell dem think it over

(Tell dem think it over)

Hold up your head, 'cause it's gonna be dread

(It's gonna be dread)

Hi there

And you done know we walk the streets without fear enuh

And tell dem this is nothing to do with being artiste

It's all about, where the heart is

Then tell dem ask themself

Isn't if funny how, I and I singing about being poor

Becomes the perfect opportunity

For the ones who already have, to get more

Fire!

Aah haa, aa haa

It's gonna be dread, it's gonna be dread

Aah haa, aa haa

It's gonna be dread, so dread

It's gonna be dread

You are now experiencing the RVlution

It's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna be

It's gonna, it's gonna

It's gonna be dread, it's gonna be dread

It's gonna be dread, it's gonna be dread

It's gonna be dread, it's gonna be dread
