WAR, an apocalyptic song showing that not much of the social ethos has changed since Gregory Isaac’s initial recording of the track to present times.
Don Dada’s staccato style of rap with a no-nonsense straight to the point lyrics and The Reggae Powerhouse Band call for unity and peace. With disintegrating communities’ structures, brothers fighting brothers, considering events that led to the #BlackLivesMatter, spats of social unrest in Africa, and the recent riots in Baltimore USA.
War is a cry for people to change their mentality or face certain destruction. We are facing a WAR that most of us are not even equipped for as we facing a WAR where our only crime is to be Young, Gifted and Black.
Lion lyrics
by Don Dada
In the city hear the lion roar
From the jungle, you can hear hear my call
On battlegrounds where giants fall
Feel the rumble of the lion’s roar
most high protect us
The world pun I shoulder anointed and blessed but them vex we a knows this
Se rasta n.a. bow down to no man
N.a. beast or na woman na fear in mi heart
As I walk in the path that was later down by Jah
Only love on the mind an there’s na fear in my heart
Se life is a blessing an day is a lesson we run all the session na need for protection for Jah is my weapon
In the city hear the lion roar
From the jungle, you can hear hear my call
On battlegrounds where giants fall
Feel the rumble of the lion’s roar
Walking like a lion thru Zion my team fearless descended from the stars
Like we fiend to build some pyramids
Jah design our heart and mind our type so hard to find but give em time the truth is a man a tell you anything you give home wine
But I’m lion all in sitting at the foot of the thrown
Mane gold same old
Bout to get to my goal
Move slow but Jah know it’s a lonely road I give to my people that can see my soul now let’s go
In the city hear the lion roar
From the jungle, you can hear hear my call
On battlegrounds where giants fall
Feel the rumble of the lion’s roar
Se the wind blows cold
As the sun sets low on the life that you know
Se the night time fall
As birds sing-song se the king is around
Can you feel my roar
This a champion sound Rastaman have de crown
In the city hear the lion roar
From the jungle, you can hear hear my call
On battlegrounds where giants fall
Feel the rumble of the lion’s roar
