lyrics

(Verse 1 – Jonathan Emile)
See dis ya riddim dedicated to my mother’s brother Andel who died in Jamaica
He was a victim of violence
What is a voice in the silence?
But defiance and pure perseverance
This is the black people experience
The governments - just legalize gangster
Pushing their corporate agendas
And I and I want to discuss survival
Not just diss up my rival
Cause if we keep acting tribal
We will be dead pon arrival
And the promise land is the very land we're living in
Its all about how your treating your sisteren
Unhh or your brethren
In the times we're living in

(Hook 1 – Jonathan Emile)
Inna di struggle have to give thanks and praises
Inna di struggle have to give thanks and praises
Cause we're livin' in the ages
And we a talk like we sages
Inna di struggle have to give thanks and praises
Inna di inna di struggle have to give thanks and praises
Cause we're livin' in the ages
Stepping sharp and courageous

(Verse 2 – Jonathan Emile)
Cancer put the fear of life in me now I'm in the cut like austerity dog measure the clarity
I recollect like charity
everything is everything like Dolla Dolla parity
Remember when they wouldn't lettuce / let us like a greek salad
And now we cry conspiracy and say it ain't valid
The poor whites the black arabs and hispanics
The asiatics across the planet its all panic
Fighting the beast, take to the streets
North to the south to the west to the east
All up in the middle, hot like a kettle
First they belittle then they carry heavy metal
Its hard to change when all you trying to do is work
The heat to your chest do more than iron your shirt
The bail outs the bought bills by corporations
The parliament and the congresses they stay debating
Homie we are future, why we still waiting?
This is our time, we're living in the ages

(Hook 2 – Jonathan Emile)
Inna di struggle have to give thanks and praises
Inna di struggle have to give thanks and praises
Cause we're livin' in the ages
And we going through some
Phases
Inna di struggle have to give thanks and praises
Inna di inna di struggle have to give thanks and praises
Cause we're livin' in the ages
Revolution in out phrases
