We Are Chosen
Riding Waves of Purpose: We Are Chosen by Clatta Bumboo
Lyrics
Some come by bus some come by train
People arrive by various means of transportation
Some come by boats and some by plane
Highlighting diverse modes of arrival
Some come to teach some come to learn
Some come to teach, others come to learn
Some a come to rob rape and plunder
Some arrive with intentions of robbery, rape, and plunder
And before they leave they burn
Those with negative intentions cause destruction before leaving
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh yeh ah
Expressing emotions through vocalizations
Your interest was never their concern
Others' interests were not genuine or caring
We come with purpose riding the waves of the sonic
Arrival with a purpose, riding the waves of sonic music
Music to stimulate the mind no need to panic
Music is a tool to stimulate the mind, no need for panic
We bring forth knowledge and over standing
Bringing forth knowledge and understanding
Guide by the most high influence to buss up di mold of ignorance
Guided by spiritual influence to break the mold of ignorance
We are we are we are the chosen
Emphasizing being chosen
We are we are we are Rastafari children
Identification as Rastafari children
We are we are focused and we wont relent
Focused and determined, not giving up
We are we are singers and players of instruments
Identifying as singers and players of instruments
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh
Expressing emotions through vocalizations
We know our selves we know our selves
Claiming self-awareness
Form conception we know our selves
Self-awareness from conception
Every singer every song writer every
Acknowledging the creative individuals in the arts
Player of instrument take small trips around the mind
Artists explore the mind through their craft
We turn to our ancestors to find the melodies
Looking to ancestors for inspiration
And then we turn onto our brothers and our sisters
Seeking harmony with fellow humans
To find the harmony Oh saint Perter oh Saint Peter
Referencing Saint Peter and the afterlife
No milk and honey for this band
No rewards in heaven for the band
We aint coming to heaven no way
Not aiming for heaven due to unfinished work on earth
Too much work on earth to be done eh eh eh eh eh
Earthly responsibilities take precedence
We are we are we are the chosen
Reiterating being chosen
We are we are we are Rastafari children
Identification as Rastafari children
We are we are focused and we wont relent
Focused and determined, not giving up
We are we are singers and players of instruments yo oh
Identifying as singers and players of instruments
Wi flash it in original style
Flaunting original style
Wi bus it in foundation style
Asserting foundation style
Wi flash it in original style it good fi di muma di pupa and di child
Reiterating original style's suitability for all
Wi drop it in original style
Emphasizing dropping original style
Wi buss it in foundation style it good fi di muma di pupa and di child
Asserting foundation style's suitability for all
Eh eh eh eh yes eh es yeah eh eh eh eh es yeah eh es yeah eh eh eh es
Expressing emotions through vocalizations
Yeah eh es yeah eh eh yes eh es yeh eh eh eh eh eh eh
Concluding with affirmative expressions
