about

This song was inspired by Ephesians 6: 11-14

lyrics

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

so when di devil come collect ye
mi only hope u have him cheque ye
dis a no like di internet ye
yu cyaa log off or disconnect ye

so just becareful weh yu step ye
caa you run up inna mess ye
and this you must neva figet ye
a God alone can clear yu debt ye

mi tell yu why

caa spiritual teachings wholla we need dat (true)
fi meditate & pray a di key that (yes)
di physical and mental full a nuff trap (fi real)
if you no wise you loose you life you spirit get knock (wha)

mi no stupid Karamanti a no idiot (no)
no vale no pan mi eyes so everything me see dat (don't)
only a fool would proclaim there is no God (fool)
but I a kill dem wid bay facts

chorus

dem a move too damn fast
dem sell dem soul and a run past
God rules God ways & God laws
and a talk bout righteous get loss

but me naa pree dem just cause
my God directing my path
His will be done not mine lord
commit submit that's my task

and
mi no bow down to no man no no
naa do nutt'n wrong fi mi ting start flow
yo everyday mi work dat a seed me a sow
and mi trust God fi mek di thing grow
