This is a special mix to show a bit of the potential of Jah Roots. The track contains three different vibes: first it is a track with full lyrics. You'll hear the band playing and the singer sing, but then the track changes into a short DUB vibe, only to come back into the first vibe again. There are some really heavy Dub parts in this mix, and some lighter parts. In these lighter parts, you can hear Sure Dread playing a solo on the clavinet as well as the Marimba. |

Story Behind the Song
This song contains the first lyrics that Messian Dread ever wrote for this band, back in 1987. The band was then still called Messiah Calling. It was also the first song of the band. So it was kind of special to make it again.
Originally, the lyrics were written for ""toasting". Toasting is the name in reggae for a special style of vocals, a style which is now commonly known as "rap". But originally, the rhythmic chanting over basic tracks comes from reggae.
In this version we changed the riddim for the song completely and Messian Dread sung the lyrics rather then toasting.
Lyrics
REAL ROCKERS STYLE
Mi brethren ah weaping ca dem full of pain
De soldiers dem laughing yeah, say that life is in vain
Him riddim is the gun
And death is him fun
And yes mi brethren dem still on the run
Dem get arrest fe praising Jah Jah Son
De Police come and then de book is gone
Dem life is tough but still them standing firm
Them trust in Jah it mek I feel.......
De people dem dieing cause dem have no food
Dem situation it is not too good
The starvation it is in Asia
Ina Africa, Europe, America
And all you people you are blaming Jah
So I say that we need de Messiah
Jah Son is strong like a mighty lion
De western world full of comrpomise
De politician fighting with their lies
They're building weapons and think that they're free
But there's this little thing that them don't see
Yesus will come fe mash down babylon
People will scream and know that they were wrong
De mark of de beast will no longer have might
This time will come and it will no go right
