THE TIME IS NOW, BETTER BEAT YOUR SWORD INTO PLOWS!
This Train
(Lyrics: Uwe ‚Banton‘ Schäfer, Music: BufBaff Records)
The time is now
better beat your swords into plows, JAH JAH seh
this war is going on for too long
time for the weak to get strong
JAH children unite
don’t give up the fight
together mek we overcome this trouble
cause it‘s good over evil
troddin’ through the valley of decision
keep the heart and mind focused on the vision
don’t get lost in internet and tell-lie-vision
ca dem deh thing deh mek fi bring war and division
Rasta know! JAH work with time and precision
just like the sun, the moon, the stars in all their composition
remember that you need no one’s permission
cause Rastafari send I and I on a mission
I’m talking bout the singers and the players and musicians
the doctors and the lawyers and the nurses and physicians
man and woman in both high and low position
you no see JAH earth is in a very bad condition
now is the time we’ve been waiting for
got to be a souljah right from head to toe
got to be on this train, on this train (repeat)
what are you searching for
if you don’t know by now, don’t search no more
yes, you got to know what you’re fighting for
I and I a souljah right down to the core
because the things are not the way they used to be before
when people are told just to stay indoors
the sign of the times that we can not ignore
and poor people just can’t take anymore
equal rights and justice we need to restore
economic slavery is what we deplore
can you hear the conquering Lion a roar
Rastafari live and rule and reign for Iver more
now is the time we’ve been waiting for
got to be a souljah right from head to toe
got to be on this train, on this train (repeat)
the time is dread, we got to think ahead
got to work out our own plan instead
none of JAH children should be beggin bread
let the blind be lead and all the hungry fed
now is the time we’ve been waiting for….
