Lyrics
Jah watching Jah watching Jah watching Jah watching Jah watching Jah watching
Jah (God) is observant and watchful
Over me
Divine protection is extended over the speaker
Over me
Continuation of the theme of divine protection
Over me over me over me
Emphasizes the constant watchful presence of Jah
Over me
Reiteration of divine protection
Over me over me
Continued emphasis on Jah's watchful gaze
(Verse)
Transition to the verse section
Them worst a than the system
Critique of a system worse than the one oppressing
That buried and keep us down
Reference to oppression and suppression by the system
So them come with them strategy
Mention of strategies employed against the people
Acting like a politic to beat inna man head like a drum
Comparison of political tactics to beating a drum
You see the way them carry news
Criticism of media manipulation and distortion of news
And then bring the news then them carry it back around ( back around) A style them want you pick and choose
Highlighting the cycle of misinformation
Fi you get confused
Caution against falling for deceptive styles
In return fi them abused
Consequences of being misled by deceptive tactics
But Jah jah watch everything wah them a do
A belief in divine observation of all actions
Pay attention to them flex and to them move
Advising to pay attention to others' actions and intentions
Anything rise against me you know them shall loose
Confidence in overcoming opposition through righteousness
Because righteousness a wah mi choose
Choosing the path of righteousness
(Chrous) Jah watching over me Jah watching over me
Chorus reiterating divine protection
Jah watching over me over me Jah watching over me
Continued emphasis on divine protection
Jah watching over me
Reaffirmation of Jah watching over the speaker
Jah watching over me over me
Continued emphasis on divine protection
(Verse)

Commitment to righteousness as a way of life
Love and unity a wah mi choose - yeah!!!!!
Choosing love and unity over negativity

Aversion to insincere and hypocritical friendships
A hypocrite and pagan’s them (pagan them)
Rejecting association with hypocrites and pagans
Mi nuh go down a hell with them
