Lyrics
Jah sent I on a mission to warn
Jah (God) has sent me on a mission to warn
cll who nuh wa fi hear
All those who do not want to listen
pack up and gwaan
To gather their things and leave
Famine a go reach the land
There will be a famine affecting the land
So me a tell the people them fi plant
Advising people to plant crops to prepare for scarcity
Jah sent I on a mission to warn
Repeated verses emphasizing the warning about famine and the importance of preparation
cll who nuh wa fi hear
-pack up and gwaan
-Famine a go reach the land
-You better strong in the Gideon
Encouragement to be strong and prepared in the face of adversity (referencing 'Gideon' - a biblical figure known for strength and leadership)
Me tell them to farm food
Encouragement to farm food
But some a farm fool
Some people are not using their resources wisely
Me tell them greater days
Despite advising for better days, some places have been destroyed by bombings, leading to slums
Some place get bomb
Describing how the impact of these events won't be limited to the poorer classes, even the wealthy will feel the consequences
and turn into a slum
-cnd it's not just the poorer
-class is going to feel it
-You Mr. man with your wealth
Encouragement to be strong and prepared in the face of adversity (referencing 'Gideon' - a biblical figure known for strength and leadership)
Buckle up your belt
-When Jah ready fi get angry
Reference to divine retribution, stating that when God becomes angry, it will affect everyone equally, similar to the biblical account of Moses parting the Red Sea
There will be no partiality

-Famine a go reach the land
-So me a tell the people them fi plant

Encouraging people to gather and focus on essential things rather than material possessions
Material things shall drown
A message for everyone, irrespective of race or nationality
This is a message from me to everyone
Reference to divine retribution, stating that when God becomes angry, it will affect everyone equally, similar to the biblical account of Moses parting the Red Sea
Whether you're Black, White, Chinese or Indian
Everyone should have a plan, regardless of their background
No matter where you from, you must have a plan
Emphasizing the importance of preparation for the coming hardships
Make preparation for the Gideon
