Lyrics
Thinking
Reflecting on thoughts
One by one they're turning their backs on me, my friends
Feeling abandoned as friends turn away
I will see you all judge my name
Anticipating judgment on one's name
I don't pretend to know the path I'm 'gonna take
Uncertain about the future path
But I trust in Jah
Choosing to trust in Jah (God)
For goodness sake
Expressing trust for goodness' sake
Jah guide
Seeking divine guidance from Jah
Jah guide
-Riots on my streets tonight
Referring to disturbances or conflicts in the streets
You're never 'gonna change your point of view
Stating resistance to changing one's perspective
'Cos colour
Highlighting the significance of skin color
It means to much to you
Implies that attachment to color is too strong
'Outta tune, what are you when you get upsetter
Suggesting being out of sync or out of harmony
Your bands ain't 'gonna take you very far
Skeptical about the effectiveness of one's associations
Jah guide
Reiterating the plea for divine guidance
Jah guide
-Took another blunt, will make me feel alright
Using a substance (blunt) to cope or feel better
Yes, I'm feeling scared
Admitting fear but asserting preparedness
But I come prepared
Ready to face challenges with courage
People try to get me down
Resisting external attempts to bring down one's spirit
But nothings 'gonna make me frown
-Jah guide
Continuing to seek guidance from Jah
Jah guide
-Jah guide
-Jah guide
-Jah will guide
Expressing faith in Jah's guidance leading to home
Will guide me
-Jah will guide
-He'll guide me home
