PROTECT I OH JAH

...And when my enemies and my foes gather around
to eat up my flesh, they shall stumble and fall...

Protect I Oh Jah
You see and you know

See dem a gather round fi come eat up I flesh
If dem catch all the bone not even that dem nah go lef
See dem a gather round fi come reap what dem nuh sow
I man cannot allow them to overthrow me

The pattern of my livity is based upon humility
Many people cannot overstand the simplicity
So there coming with dem trouble
Cause them think mi vulnerable
Protect I with the love and let me bust dem bubble

CHORUS

They take my kindness for weakness
And treat it like a paper cup
Everytime I move dem trying very hard to crush mi up
What dem a prove when none a dem never did make mi up
When the alms of flesh forsake me I know you will take me up

Dem and those in pretty clothes
Come a pose like dem a rose
Bloody meditation righteousness dem oppose
From up in a dem head straight down to dem toes
Pretend to be friends but the whole a dem a foes
