Groundation - Jah Defends the Music lyrics

Jah defend the music 100, Jah defend the music 100 Just as the cool cool beat arrives, with my heart at rest The music of the hour, showed me that A music that starts so slow, then, tumble like dominos And in this time of redemption them say dig that garden The food dem ripe, dig that garden All day, with shovel and hoe Jah defend the music 100, Jah defend the music 100 It's a song I sing, with beauty as it's aim It will fly like a bird once grown, so don't you turn it away All who live by the gun yes, will die by the sword Man to man if so unjust, they live their life Why can't they do right? Some must be reborn My song recall, a memory strong It wasn't your fault, I hope you know And for this companion of flesh and blood All I can offer is more wood for the fire And if it should raise it up and caste them out When we caste them out you know they were meant to go The harvester Jah The harvester Jah The harvester of this rainbow tree, yeah Jah harvester of this rainbow tree Some way some how, I gotta prove it in the music Until it consumes all the mighty world Revealing all those cultural vows man have to break So when Jah call us back to the garden We'd all be there together once again Home to see the light, home With the threat of Judgement to come Oh the beauty of Kingdom come Keep the riddim riding Jah! Without stopping to chat up in the middle of the road to boast Welcoming friends and foes Just like Marcus Garvey Him gone, him gone, him gone to Washington DC Before the economic down swing To speak to man's soul But no one listened when he spoke So he put it all into the music, And it went far and wide, and wider still yes Until it opened up heaven's doors With a riddim to beat Satan's for sure Lucifer speaks through silent vultures, while Jah, Jah, Jah Jah defend the music 100, Jah defend the music 100 Slow rider, slew the dragon well This music mission, to carry all Nations To better-ness and one love creation yeah You know it's in your attitude To stay upfull the whole day through Nothing could reach him but music would Sound system rocking through your neighborhood What ya gonna do about that?
