Rasta Hip Hop Lyrics

Jahi Live in the Building
Sending Peace and Love to my Reggae Massive and Crew
Rasta Hip Hop
Yo

Black like one in the morning a lion roaring
They made cause Im world touring while they at home boring
Check the scoreboard I’m scoring profession on the field
Stadium rocking for a living harder than the man of steel
This that vibranium
What I say to them is this
Protect your cranium
Speak up and resist
We not playing with em
Or their evil
Jahi always go be for the people
Rest in power to Assata
Never got to meet her
Hope Allah and ancestors
Meet her open arms when they see her
Consciousness over boombap inside ya speakers
Lineage is way more important than your sneakers
F your algorithm not go bow to to caesar
Not go sell my creative soul to AI either
Rooted in one love but don’t test the ether
Chant down Babylon here comes a natural born leader
Who di cap fit let em wear it catch a fever
Lyrics more than a couple liters
Vocals coming red on the meters
This is for the upful and the truth seekers
Woe to the oppressors in sheep’s clothing
Jahi is my guide got my third eye open
Spirit and mind over garments and the clothing
That’s why I glowing by any means keep going
Jesse Owens

Walking with my head up human it don’t stop
Giving to the world this Rasta Hip Hop
Weaving through the traffic with the booming booming sound
Sending one love to my folks in Jam Down 2x

Lions don’t respond when dogs bark
Keep your fingers and your opinion up off my art
This a full meal not ala carte
Walking with a clear mind and an open heart a open heart
Living my dreams word to Carrie Mae Weems
Unbreakable DNA is inside my genes
Connect to real human beings over bots and streams
Reading Mansa Musa while they playing with these memes
I’ve been on TV but that’s light work
Chart the night stars so I can see what life is worth
Blooming like the harvest that came from the dirt
Free man walking this earth
Non character corn balls they fill me with mirth
Worse to worse my people come first
When worse come to worse my people come first
Not afraid of the fear monger or the boogie man
I’m moving off love that’s how I take a stand gone

Walking with my head up human it don’t stop
Giving to the world this Rasta Hip Hop
Weaving through the traffic with the booming booming sound
Sending one love to my folks in Jam Down 2x
