The Messiah - Mavado

Umm wo woii

Dem rise against mi

(Valley of the shadow of death, I shall never fret)

Dem mussi think seh dem can stop mi from sing

(Cause I saw the light, no more darkness Selassie I put in da light)

One man mi fear

Ah di Messiah

Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer

Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield

All when shotta a fyah

All when mi nuh have no food no wata

Jah love mi never yet shorter

Mi a talk this for real all di pain mi a feel

Dem a kill wi sons and daughta

Tell dutty mind

Badmind fi fence wi

Dem coulda neva live fi bench wi

Cause to jah gi di praise fi I-shence of days

So wi basket nuh empty

And nuff time dem try fi tempt mi

Muss through mi a lead by far a them see

Dem team up and ah join and try stop mi time

From mi mek mi entry

But a one man mi fear

A di fadda

Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer

Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield

All when shotta a fyah

All when mi nuh have no food no wata

Jah love mi never yet shorter

Mi a talk this for real all di pain mi a feel

Dem a kill wi sons and daughta

Seh weh you waan seh

Do wa you feel

Mi nuh beg fren so we coulda neva deal (real)

From yuh try stop mi meal

Seem like you a send mi to di bakklefield

Press wey you waan press

A yuh a steal

Run wey you waan run, a yuh a wheel

Then straight up then coulda the wa you feel

Man a soldier so mi coulda neva kneel

One man mi fear

Ah di Messiah

Mi a bwoy, believe inna prayer

Mi step pon di bakklefield, without no shield

All when shotta a fyah

All when mi nuh have no food no wata

Jah love mi never yet shorter

Mi a talk this for real all di pain mi a feel

Dem a kill wi sons and daughta

Tell dutty mind

Badmind fi fence wi

Dem coulda neva live fi bench wi

Cause to jah gi di praise fi I-shence of days

And nuff time dem try fi tempt mi
