Mavado - The Messiah Lyrics

[Intro:]
(Selassie I)
Umm wo woii
Dem rise against mi
(Valley of the shadow of death, I shall never fret)
Dem mussi think seh dem can stop mi from sing
(Cause I saw the light, no more darkness Selassie I put in da light)

[Chorus:]
One man mi fear
Ah di Messiah
Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer
Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield
All when shotta a fyah
All when mi nuh have no food no wata
Jah love mi never yet shorter
Mi a talk this for real all di pain mi a feel
Dem a kill wi sons and daughta

[Verse 1:]
Tell dutty mind
Badmind fi fence wi
Dem coulda neva live fi bench wi
Cause to jah gi di praise fi I-shence of days
So wi basket nuh empty
And nuff time dem try fi tempt mi
Muss through mi a lead by far a them see
Dem team up and ah join and try stop mi time
From mi mek mi entry

[Chorus:]
But a one man mi fear
A di fadda
Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer
Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield
All when shotta a fyah
All when mi nuh have no food no wata
Jah love mi never yet shorter
Mi a talk this for real all di pain mi a feel
Dem a kill wi sons and daughta

[Verse 2:]
Seh weh you waan seh
Do wa you feel
Mi nuh beg fren so we coulda neva deal (real)
From yuh try stop mi meal
Seem like you a send mi to di bakklefield
Press wey you waan press
A yuh a steal
Run wey you waan run, a yuh a wheel
Then straight up then coulda the wa you feel
Man a soldier so mi coulda neva kneel

[Chorus:]
One man mi fear
Ah di Messiah
Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer
Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield
All when shotta a fyah
All when mi nuh have no food no wata
Jah love mi never yet shorter
Mi a talk this for real all di pain mi a feel
Dem a kill wi sons and daughta

[Verse 1:]
Tell dutty mind
Badmind fi fence wi
Dem coulda neva live fi bench wi
Cause to jah gi di praise fi I-shence of days
So wi basket nuh empty
And nuff time dem try fi tempt mi
Muss through mi a lead by far a them see
Dem team up and ah join and try stop mi time
From mi mek mi entry

[Chorus:]
But a one man mi fear
Ah di fadda
Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer
Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield
All when shotta a fyah
All when mi nuh have no food no wata
Jah love mi never yet shorter
Mi a talk this for real all di pain mi a feel
Dem a kill wi sons and daughta

One man mi fear
