The Mission (feat. Damian Marley) (OST NBA Live 2009)
Damian: Boom Ah yute an yute fe have a plan An have some ambition An mek sure unuh firm ina de Armagedeon So when ur son become ah man Im know jus where u stan Im know im poopa set it So im follow tradition If Marcus Garvey seh fe read Den wey some man ah pre? Cause knowledge ah de key An it wi set de people free An Haile High philosophy Is African unity Unuh wan jus segregation and social impurity De race is not jus for the swift But those who can endure Mek sure u have a steady footin inna Zion door And keep ur thoughts dem pure Jah Love is for de poor But some likkle bwoy ah bus some gun dem mooma cant afford If Jah seh blood fe run Then Jah will be done De heaven an de Earth wi pass away before Im word no come But if Im pause without ah cause There will be no reward For u to enter Zion gates Because u are a fraud
