Nesta Marley Lyrics[Verse 1: Wretch 32]
Vibing it out, silence the sounds
Take the highs with the lows, smile at the clouds
Time is a must, they say I'm in a rush
Them just winding me up cah me nuh have time of the month
Whether you're riding a bus, driving a truck
You still reach where you're going, so don't mind dem you nuh
When it's raining it pours and your shining will come
Know your days can be long, but your life is a plus
[Verse 2: Skip Marley]
Jah run tings see nuh tings run we
Realist mentality conquer normality, yeah
We gotta set free
Cah I'm not the enemy, sacred's the energy
Jah deh with me anywhere we go
Coulda famine, coulda inna drought
We shot dem through the stereo
Wretch show dem all ah di
[Pre-Chorus: Wretch 32]
Rasta, rasta, rasta
Mister lover, lover, lover
Mister shotter, shotter, shotter
Dancing in the streets, dancing in the streets
[Chorus: Wretch 32]
I grew up on Ali and Nesta Marley
So who waan fi party? Mi waan fi party
Turn up the volume, mi come fi party
But mi turn up di party, nah ramp around me
I grew up on Ali and Nesta Marley
So who waan fi party? Mi waan fi party
Turn up the volume, mi come fi party
But mi turn up di party, nah ramp around me
[Verse 3: Wretch 32]
A likkle glimpse of the bigger picture
Love thy neighbour, protect ya sister
Nah war your brudda
God sees man in his image, there's nothing richer
Fruits of the scripture, we need to reiterate and deliver
Pain for the champagne, grace for the dinner
Ital will live on, no meet in me inner
But life ah guh live on, so still we deliver
Roots and culture in my system
Di eye dem big and strong
People fighting out my window
Can't they see the sun?
In these times I pray for better days
Where we all can live as one
Silver lining that it's not so bad, it's not so
[Pre-Chorus: Wretch 32]
Rasta, rasta, rasta
Mister lover, lover, lover
Mister shotter, shotter, shotter
Dancing in the streets, dancing in the streets
[Chorus: Wretch 32]
I grew up on Ali and Nesta Marley
So who waan fi party? Mi waan fi party
Turn up the volume, mi come fi party
But mi turn up di party, nah ramp around me
I grew up on Ali and Rasta Marley
So who waan fi party? Mi waan fi party
Turn up the volume, mi come fi party
But mi turn up di party, nah ramp around me
[Post-Chorus: Wretch 32]
Roots and culture in my system
Di eye dem big and strong
People fighting out my window
Can't they see the sun?
In these times, I pray for better days
Where we all can live as one
Silver lining, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[Non-Lyrical Break]
[Outro: Wretch 32]
All the way, I'm blessed indeed
(Blessed) Blessed and anointed
(Blessed) Blessed with my choices
With great depth, it's embroidered
And use every breath for the voiceless
I'm speaking, I'm speaking, let me speak (Highly blessed)
(And highly favoured)
My cup overrunneth with love and abundance (Jah)
I stunt for the ones who have suffered and run with those who are above us
'Cause it all means nothing if one hand don't wash the other
And both hands don't fill the cupboard and
Break bread to feed the brothers
(Blessed) Feast among us
(I am powers and always) Feast among us
(Yeah, oh)
(I am) Blessed
