Signs of the Times
Original tracks
On a mission, no time to relax
MadX with the mental and spiritual equinox
Now this one is filled with the clarity to paradox
And you know when DarkT touches the studio mic we turn riddim jocks
Hear me now
Yeah we trodding on the acre
Looking in the world, watching signs display ya
Pointless to run 'cause nowhere else nuh safer
So mi search deep within, manifest a source greater
Yeah we pray for brighter, better days
All when them lead the Earth in darkness
Jah
Light a fire, make it blaze up
Blaze up
Forgive us of our iniquities
Ezekiel 33 verse 15
We sin and yet in all our trickery
We still cry out and plead for pity
Some of us still curse God, cause more misery
Then the blame game gets played quickly
More pandemics in all cities
More chaos, the Earth in frenzy
The cycle repeats in every century
From the original human entry
To the lands where the Most High sent we
We suffer our own through greed and envy
Distracted from our divinity
And the more we divide, the less unity
But nothing in life is complicated
If we learn to live in simplicity
Yeah
Yeah we trodding on the acre
Looking in the world, watching signs display ya
Pointless to run 'cause nowhere else nuh safer
So mi search deep within, manifest a source greater
Yeah we pray for brighter, better days
All when them lead the Earth in darkness
Jah
Light a fire, make it blaze up
Blaze up
Better prepare yuhself, these are the signs of the times
Nuh bother run away, better yuh try run down yuh life
Poverty is a disease wah make yuh harder fi survive
And the officials make it clear that them nuh care if we alive
By using unfair measures so the poor will never strive
While the rich a see them assets multiply from 1 to 5
And the poor a see them assets subtracted from 9 to 5
Get it
Wah 'bout the people
Wah 'bout the little child
Wah hungry fi some wisdom and them cannot feed the mind
'Cause them cannot find no food fi eat
Mi feel it fi them sometimes
Parents cannot find an answer
Life get similar to lime
And them voice nah make no difference when them state it on Prime Time
News
Yeah we trodding on the acre
Looking in the world, watching signs display ya
Pointless to run 'cause nowhere else nuh safer
So mi search deep within, manifest a source greater
Yeah we pray for brighter, better days
All when them lead the Earth in darkness
Jah
Light a fire, make it blaze up
Blaze up
This song origin came a long way
Unity from Mobay to Zimbabwe
For no matter where we are in the world today
Just keep yuh head up
Mi a tell yuh straight
For nuff time them see a region and them think say all is fine
True government speech sweet
But a the needle of the pine we feel inna the ghetto
Yuh see feds
Nuh make dem get yuh
Jah
Yeah we trodding on the acre
Looking in the world, watching signs display ya
Pointless to run 'cause nowhere else nuh safer
So mi search deep within, manifest a source greater
Yeah we pray for brighter, better days
All when them lead the Earth in darkness
Jah
Light a fire, make it blaze up
Blaze up
