Brethrens and sistren, when did we start doing the things that we fought against to each other? We must admit that some of us are getting trapped in Babylon system. What does it gain a man to have all the money in the world, and lose his soul? Money only buy things - things that you cannot take with you when your journey on creation is end.
I man have being vibeing all this madness that's going on. Brothers and Sisters are rushing each other over money. Brethrens beware of money, money is the roots of all evil. Lets all go back to the days of Old. Look where money and riches got anyone. I Spear would rather be friends with the animal than to be a target for Babylon. Yes come let us yada out of Babylon system. Where is the love gone? Look at what we are allowing ourselves to become.
Money can not buy happiness or health. If you fight with Babylon system you will lose with Babylon system. All what you think you will gain will never make you happy. Fire is going to burn all of those that turn their back on Jah the Creator and embrace Babylon system in turns of the court House. There will be weeping and wailing and mourning. If you make your bed in hell, that is where you will sleep.
In life there are no miss opportunity. Jah have his plan.
Jah is I man light and salvation who shall I fear. I will never loss my identity. Spear will stand strong and keep on looking Far Over. Our Music I will fight for, not to become rich, but for my grandchildren so they will know about our great leaders that fight for our rights.
Look at what Jamaica Tourism Board have done to Jamaica. Because they only have one slogan they forget how rich Jamaica are in history and culture. They have chase away the people that use to support Jamaica in the 70's and 80's. I will open my own tourist board and show them that People would like to come to Jamaica. The tourist board would never embrace Burning Spear. I man is too acoustic. All who have ear will hear, and all with eyes will see us 700 strong in a Garvey Lawn under the Order of Marcus Garvey, and acoustic vibes of all who gave they life for freedom.
People of the World dust off your passport, come forward to Jamaica. Irie Jamaica, feel the love of the people. Don't lock yourself away in hotel rooms.
I man have return to Jamaica more often these days, and I am from the Parish of St Ann's Bay. I have record several album in my Parish. When I hear what radio stations are playing in Jamaica I man was ashamed. I would like to send them a play list from around the world so they can see what young people are playing.
At a earlier time we were fighting against the system, now we are using the system to fight against ourselves. We are defeating Ourself. I, Burning Spear, stand strong. I am the master of I man faith. I am the captain of my soul. Don't forget to buy your ticket for 700 Strong. And pick up a copy of Our Music Jah know we can't refuse it.
Keep the Spear Burning
One Love. Peace.
