Song Lyrics

Intro:
They want us to stay blind as a bat
While they move sly as a fox
(Dat dem want)
Oh boy
(Dat dem want)
Yes sir
I tell you few people can see it
Many are blind to it
A change is on the way things will no longer be the same (No way, no how)
Oh no
Hear me now

Verse:
All eyes on America
People and places want to be just like America
And I can't understand why
When you have beautiful places like Dubai‎ (ah yeah)
Lies and propaganda ‎they speak of Africa
I trod from Nairobi to Addis Ababa and find
Find the truth for myself
The world is more beautiful than you know
From Cape Town to Accra to Lagos
So much beauty my eyes behold
So much in school they have never told us
Like how much slaves died on Gorée Island in Senegal
And how much never reach Caribbean islands‎ (whoi)
The slave trade was wickeder than you know
And now they return to Africa for the gold and diamonds
While they make it seem like the land is just full of poverty (Oh what a lie)
And hungry belly, what a terrible conspiracy

Chorus:
Now we say Selah
There goes the end of an era
No more we are blind to the truth bout yah
I-n-I stronger than ever
JAH know we say Selah
There goes the end of an era
No more we are blind to the truth bout yah
I and I stronger than ever
SELAH

Verse:
I cry for Jamaica
It hurt my heart fi see my people of Jamaica
Don't realize seh reggae music is the savior
Preserving the knowledge of our former selves 
Check the yute dem inna Gambia
If you never know
You would ah feel dem born and raise inna Jamaica
To how dem love di culture, Rastafari culture
Dem live the livity as well yeah
Earth is the Lords and fullness there of
So I have the right to live where I'm loved and celebrated 
No hate can keep me from anywhere in the world

Chorus:
Now we say Selah
There goes the end of an era
No more we are blind to the truth bout yah
I-n-I stronger than ever
JAH know we say Selah
There goes the end of an era
No more we are blind to the truth bout yah
I and I stronger than ever
SELAH

Rap:
What if I told you ancient stories? (True)
Was much simpler than they made it seem (Word)
Would you trod it over Zion way (Yeah)
See how they doing the things over there
And if you thought there's something to fear
Just some time back when you was a little tat
And they said don't do this or child don't that, Please!
Maybe you said you do, maybe you said you don't
But then you figured it out so life moved on
Yeah dem be the days of innocent fun
Now we living with purpose in Jah Kingdom
What's da prob? What you sayin? What's the beef cuz?
The future is determined today so take a trip son

Chorus:
Now we say Selah
There goes the end of an era
No more we are blind to the truth bout yah
I-n-I stronger than ever
JAH know we say Selah
There goes the end of an era
No more we are blind to the truth bout yah
I and I stronger than ever
SELAH
