Praise Jah in the Moonlight
Lyrics:
[English]
They say the sun shines for all
But in some people world, it never shine at all
These roads of flames are catching on fire (ahh)
Showed you I love you, you called me a liar
(Oh no no no no no)
Baby tell me where you gone gone gone
I've been feeling for your love so long
We can praise Jah in the moonlight
Baby if you with me better do right
And I've been gone too long
And I'm hoping that you sing my songs (sing my songs)
I've been on this road for way too long
I've been hoping that we all get along
These roads of flames are catching on fire (ahh)
Showed you I love you, you called me a liar
Give Jah the thanks and praises
I've been on my own all along
But we ain't never left alone lone lone
And if I'm telling you the feeling is wrong
Relax a little friend this won't take too long
And when you're feeling alone
You can call my phone
Is there a better way to go
Teach them something before they lose their soul
Oh no no no, freedom is the road
Oh no no no, coming in from the cold
Tell them not to sell it it's worth more than gold
And guiltiness will catch them in the end
Oh yeah, oh yeah
They'll try to manipulate through you through your pockets (ahh)
Now you're calling gonna fuck with the optic with the vision (ahh)
Trying to control your soul and take control oh no no no (ahh)
No we don't play that game right here to win power (ahh)
Give Jah the thanks and praises
Give Jah all the thanks and praises
Give Jah all the thanks and praises
Give Jah all the thanks and praises
Give Jah all the thanks and praises
Give Jah all the thanks and praises
...
Give Jah the thanks to thanks to
Thanks to thanks to thanks to
Thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks
Thanks thanks thanks
Thanks thanks thanks
Thanks thanks thanks thanks and praises (give Jah)
...
Give Jah the thanks and praises
...
