Give I Strength

[Ras Shiloh Intro]

Jah Jah Jah, Rastafari

Haile Selassie I who lives and rules the brains of all living things

King of all kings, ruler of tings

[Chorus]

Lord give I strength

Never let I fail

To live out the greater part of my days

Give I strength

Jah give I strength

Never let I fail

To live out the greater part of my days

Give I strength

[Buju Banton - Verse 1]

Indeed I see pestilence and plague

But I'm not afraid

They are looking for what they can take

Come in all size appear in all shape

Lord give us the vision to differentiate

Yeah there they wait, we shall escape

God who protect is greater than great

In all that we do, He holds our fate

[Chorus]

Jah Jah give I strength

Never let I fail

To live out the greater part of my days

Give I strength

Jah give I strength

Never let I fail

To live out the greater part of my days

Give I strength

[Buju Banton - Verse 2]

Teach the youths them right in the way they should grow

Joy is a stream, constantly flow

And I don't want to be unhappy

Let me live till I'm grey

I work hard to get pay

Keep out of tale bearers and back-biters way

Never let the seeds of education decay no way

[Chorus]

Jah Jah give I strength

Never let I fail

To live out the greater part of my days

Give I strength

Jah give I strength

Never let I fail

To live out the greater part of my days

Give I strength

(Shiloh!)

[Ras Shiloh - Verse 1]

As plain as day (????)

Is that they will not listen

I see unattemptively, witnessing tears rolling down cheeks

They deny about the damage, they call it miscarriage

Oh Jah strengthen my heart for me please

[Chorus]

Jah Jah give I strength

Never let I fail

To live out the greater part of my days

Give I strength

Jah give us strength

Never let us fail

Live out the greater part a we days

Give us strength

[Ras Shiloh - Verse 2]

He who suffers, conquers, winning the crown of victory in the end

The hour is near arise and defend

Oh Jah our freedom we bear!

[Buju Banton- Verse 3]

Cause whyyyyyy

Teach the youths them right in the way they should grow

Joy is a stream constantly flow

And I don't wanna be unhappy

Let me live till I'm grey

I work hard to get pay

Keep out of tale bearers and back-biters way

Never let this bit of education decay no way

[Chorus]

Jah Jah give I strength

Never let I fail

To live out the greater part of my days
