Resistance Songtext

von Big Mountain

Resistance, Resistance, Resistance, Resistance
There's no time to worry, there's no time to rest
We've come such a long way, so let's try to hold the best you know
Jah Jah is planning on evils demise
So don't you be confused with the price, always remember that
We know that Jah kingdom come
No we ain't gonna just abandon our conscience, No
You see the master of judgment, Jah Jah know about that
The poor man is the innocent one
The poor man is the innocent one
The strugglin' community
Leave behind those times we spent on compromise
Let your rebel spirit free

Resistance, because we know what's right from wrong
Resistance, we've been strugglin' too long
Resistance, you know the people must come first
Resistance, cause we're just doing Jah Jah work

Roots man knows it, the bingi man is wise
All your modern ways don't inspire me, Jah Jah guide
I build a fire boil my tea, I till the soil plant my seed
Jah creations all I need to fulfill my dreams
They'll try to seduce your soul with temptations of fame and riches
Wine and dine you about the town, try to intoxicate your visions
Ahh, foolish pride, I would just as soon avoid all that jive
No, we cannot achieve our goals backbiting
No, we cannot achieve our goals in deceit
No, we cannot achieve our goals compromising
Let your rebel spirit free

Resistance, because we know what's right from wrong
Resistance, and we've been strugglin' for too long
Resistance, the people must come first
Resistance, 'cause we're just doing Jah Jah work
Resistance, these are the days of purpose
Resistance, it's time to capture your will for justice
Resistnace, oh my people embrace your destiny
Resistnace, we've got to culture love and peace
Resistance, oh my people shine, shine, shine
