This is a cypher six six six!
The time for crying out of fear of failure is over
now it's time to live in harmony and peace
passion and good have come together
and the wind that carries us to the sea
now it's time to laugh in unity
and we gather for you, so you can take flight
so I can see you smile when you arrive, grandpa
that life is hard when living in fear
healing your wounds, you move away from the ground
put joy into this melody
let sorrow wither from your mind
they are just lyrical symphonies of merchandise
surrounded by the best people
I wear a Bob Marley flag as a cape
I'll never stop being a child at every stage
I wear a jacket and a lion on my lapel
and if we're talking about reggae, I've got the cream of the crop here
they planted the egg, and now I bring the potatoes
the stick and the piñata
I add waterfalls to the river
we go through ungrateful times but it doesn't cheapen us
we keep bailing water now that there are no more rats
let reggae stay afloat, come on, it's not going to sink
grab an oar, don't fall asleep
This one's for my brothers, I don't even do it for myself anymore
for all those tattooed with "No fear of living"
we learned to be pirates
I have a tin roof in my house
and a heart of rusted tin, but it beats for you
finely filtered pollen from the plant
a sailor came here by boat
we love you
oh oh oh oh oh In the morning sun
Power of the reggaeman, no magicians
Against the submission of television
against their way of control and oppression
reggae as a weapon for this liberation
from one generation to a good direction
and I don't care if it bothers them
we have the answer
cannabis energy like sunlight
and on the third or the sixth
and push away what's left
you don't need to wait to be happy
and now I ask you, do you want another world?
because yours is messed up, they've filled it with garbage and loneliness
or would it be better to promote a little love and more culture
to change this society a bit
I'll say it again, even if they won't listen
you can achieve whatever you want to dream
the weight of the world sometimes crushes me
this works by living your life
I play with words that never end
again and again, replaying the game
I always tend to be more than they imagine
no one will stop this song
from healing your soul and your heart
that's why it always sounds like fantasy
and the melody shows
hedonistic flow, beat after beat
my life is a freestyle
it's obvious
and not because I wear expensive clothes or amethysts
but because I explode with a flow that gets stuck in me
give me space, always strong like action
for all the times I distance myself
but you know how palace movies go
Man one Reggae Cypher, slow
infection
always positive vibes when I sing
feel the flame as it's rising
a mission of hearts is the pact
the energy is lit with the crew
and feel it, feel it, feel it
we bring good music, start listening
put it on, put it on, put it on
Pure and his lions, this isn't going to stop
so you can enjoy it, dance until midnight
get rid of the bad stuff, the real ones don't show off
we're here, the brothers, playing Black Roses
bad vibes, I hung a "closed" sign on them
we're up to date, new melody
we're always chilling, chilling in harmony
tune in, flow with mine
turn up the volume, leave the monotony
we love you
oh oh oh oh oh In the morning sun
Power of the reggaeman, no magicians
