Protoje - Sudden Flight (ft. Sevana & Jesse Royal)
From the streets of Jamaica coming live and direct
Proto Diggy deh yah we no need no mic check
Step inna the place no bother disrespect
Just a warn the ghetto youths about the choice wha' dem a make (boom)
[Verse 1: Protoje]
La-di-da-di, nah join no party
Look wha the politician dem do to Claudie
Look wha the politician dem do to Jim
Him son resurrect it and look wha' dem do to him
Cah they will use and dispose of you those who are close to you
If you choose to trod this road, you know
So bredda bredda if you war tonight
Carry the scars of a Garveyite
Carry the fire of a Melchizedek
When you mind get a chance, represent
Cah you might a no pass the present so
No take dem class, love you fast, then resent you
Want make it fast so dem lost every cent too
So we go back to the ancient ways
Untold secrets that remained unchanged
Mentally get unchained, a one goal, a one aim, a the same
Wha' you saying
[Chorus: Sevana]
Got to stay through to the things you know are right
Nothing worth the gain you attain by sudden flight
Brother keep you goals in sight (true, true)
Even in the darkest night
Have faith in the Father, the One who shines your light
[Verse 2: Jesse Royal]
A palace pickney enuh
Uh!
Mercy me, dem corrupt and covetous eeh
Cah from me eye deh a me knee a one thing Natty a see
The intellect a prey upon the poor poverty
Nobody nah dance to a two party
Oppression brainwashing and nefarious schemes
To keep the have-nots where they think they ought to be
I-man hear promises of better when the poll time close
Then a back to the same after winner announce
Rockstone a river bottom never know say sun hot
So many a me brother dem trap inna the plot
Glock full a shot but no food inna pot
A wa wa wah kinda livity that
I and I a holla straight up, wake up, wake up, sons of Jacob
Lay down their arms real tools you fi take up
Stay up, way up, sons of Jacob
Time to show the cowards what we made of
[Chorus: Sevana]
Got to stay through to the things you know are right
Nothing worth the gain you attain by sudden flight
Sister keep you goals in sight
Even in the darkest night
Have faith in the Father, the One who shines your light
[Verse 3: Protoje]
So you've made it, tell me what's the basis
Thinking it's so basic, cruising in the A6
No, that's an illusion in the Matrix
When you miss the payments, then they gon' come and claim it
You haffi be focused keep the brain fit
Keep the flame lit, never twist it when you aim hit
So what I'm saying, simple and it plain
It all look the same when it flushing down the drain
Watch dem as dem strutting up the lane
With the rope gold chain, chrome suppin in a hand
Look up 'pon dem face, touch a button if you can
Just fi try take you place a no nothing fi dem man
But that no matter 'cause another come along
And a run the place badder hotter than the summer sun
Boof! I see the cycle a repeat
Playing god up in your palace with disciples 'pon the street
[Chorus: Sevana]
Got to stay through to the things you know are right
Nothing worth the gain you attain by sudden flight
Sister keep you goals in sight
Even in the darkest night
Have faith in the Father, the One who shines your light
