So Jah Seh
How do u get psyched to do an exam? interview? ask for a raise or promotion? resign?? Ever since about 4th form, I used to listen to music as inspiration to tackle life's major academic and work related crises... but definitely the last song I listen to before shutting down and heading towards my task is So Jah Seh, off the Natty Dread album. The lyrics reveal why its such a great motivator so I will leave them for you to ponder...Bob Marley Lyrics
So Jah seh,
Not one of my seeds
Shall sit on the sidewalk
And beg bread.
(No, they can't and you know that they won't!)
So Jah seh,
Not one of my seeds
Shall sit on the sidewalk
And beg your bread.
(No, they can't and you know that they won't!)
And verily, verily, I'm saying unto the I,
Inite oneself and love Imanity.'
'Cause puss and dog they get together:
What's wrong with loving one another?
Puss and dog they get together:
What's wrong with you my brother?
So Jah seh,
Ye are the sheep of my pasture;
So verily, thou shall be very well.
So Jah seh - yeah! -
Ye are the sheep of my pasture;
So verily, thou shall be very well, yeah!
And down here in the ghetto,
And down here we suffer.
But I'n'I a-hang on in there
And I'n'I, I naw leggo;
I'n'I a-hang on in there
and I'n'I, I naw leggo.
For so Jah seh - yeah! -
I'm gone to prepare a place,
That where I am thou shall abide, yeah!
So Jah seh,
Fear not for mighty dread,
'Cause I'll be there at your side.
And - and down there - down there in the ghetto -
And down there we suffer
But I'n'I a-hang on in there
And I'n'I, I naw leggo.
But I'n'I a-hang on in there
And I'n'I, I naw leggo;
- So Jah seh.
