Jah9 - Hardcore lyrics

Hardcore, you cannot claim no victory Till yuh heart pure and you're mind Bout dem hardcore, when a Sela**ie I alone Can mek dem heart sure at this time Hardcore, you cannot claim no victory Till yuh heart pure and you're mind Bout dem hardcore, when a Sela**ie I alone Can mek dem heart sure at this time At ease is peace we seeking So all a try fi disturb a distance we keeping you away From the treasure that you're sniffing 'round to take But you cannot penetrate 'Cause even if you find the yard You cannot breach the gate Leaving you waiting in vain and love you all the same But yuh nuh heard core, yuh cannot claim no victory Till yuh heart pure and you're mind Bout dem hardcore, when a Sela**ie I alone Can mek dem heart sure at this time Hardcore, you cannot claim no victory Till yuh heart pure and you're mind Bout dem hardcore, when a Sela**ie I alone Can mek dem heart sure at this time Sip what you grow Grow what you sip Permaculture keep The poison from you're lip The food stuff, the youths up Strictly organic Community immunity From every politician Breaking the addiction brothers finally Find freedom to show love Within the family Real power generating, potential creating When the epitome of masculinity Is hardcore, you cannot claim no victory Till yuh heart pure and you're mind Bout dem hardcore, when a Sela**ie I alone Can mek dem heart sure at this time Hardcore, you cannot claim no victory Till yuh heart pure and you're mind Bout dem hardcore, when a Sela**ie I alone A just Sela**ie I alone, Haile Sela**ie I alone A just Sela**ie I alone see I alone Now the Iyata can't compromise the link Before she open up the star gate

She really haffi think Is it just desire, what will it require Do you have the strength to hold it You let it reach the brink Are playing a game or do you know your role Are you willing to wager your soul Will you be a victim beaten Stranded at the barrier Or bravely ascending as a warrior to goddess To hardcore, a she a claim the victory Cause her heart pure and her mind, eh! a hardcore Sela**ie I alone a mek heart sure Eh! Hardcore, you cannot claim no victory Till yuh heart pure and you're mind Bout dem harcore when a Sela**ie I alone, a just Sela**ie I alone [Haile I Sela**ie I closing remarks to The United Nations, 1963] The problems which confront us today are, equally, unprecedented. They have no counterparts in human experience. Men search the pages of history for solutions, for precedents, but there are none. This, then, is the ultimate challenge. Where are we to look for our survival, for the answers to the questions which have never before been posed? We must look, first, to Almighty, Who has raised man above the animals and endowed him with intelligence and reason. We must put our faith in Him, that He will not desert us or permit us to destroy humanity which He created in His image. And we must look into ourselves, into the depth of our souls. We must become something we have never been and for which our education and experience and environment have ill-prepared us. We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community
