Jah Cure, cuyo nombre de nacimiento es Siccature Alcock, nació el 11 de octubre de 1978 en Hanover, Jamaica. Desde joven, mostró un talento innato para la música, influenciado tanto por los ritmos que caracterizan a la isla como por las experiencias de su vida cotidiana. A los 16 años, se mudó a Kingston, donde comenzaría a forjar su carrera en la escena reggae.
En la capital, Jah Cure tuvo la fortuna de conocer a Beres Hammond, una leyenda del reggae, quien se convirtió en su mentor. Con el respaldo de Hammond, Jah Cure tuvo la oportunidad de grabar sus primeras canciones. Su primer éxito, "King in this Jungle", grabado con Sizzla en 1997, presentó su talento vocal al mundo y lo posicionó como una promesa del reggae.
La carrera de Jah Cure no estuvo exenta de dificultades. En 1999, fue condenado a 15 años de prisión por cargos de robo y violación, aunque siempre ha mantenido su inocencia. Durante su tiempo en prisión, lejos de alejarse de la música, Jah Cure se sumergió más en ella, componiendo y grabando desde su celda.
En 2005, surgió uno de sus más grandes éxitos, "Longing For", que rápidamente se convirtió en un himno de esperanza y resistencia. La canción, grabada en prisión, resonó profundamente en sus fans, quienes veían en su voz un faro de luz en tiempos difíciles.

[Chorus:]
UUh
I can't wait
For you to see how much I changed
No excuses
It was my fault
I'm the only one to blame
But I'm different now
Won't you believe me
You gotta believe me
[Verse 1:]
It's been a couple months now since I heard your voice
Had to give me time to think now
And get away from the noise
Got a message from my heart now
And it just can't wait
Tried to write it in a letter
But I found the words to say
And they go OO
I regret the tears that fell from your face
Hate to see a pretty girl cry
And I'm like OO
Sat outside my cell I'm in the coldest place
Gotta tell you something
[Chorus:]
I can't wait
For you to see how much I changed (yeah)
No excuses
It was my fault
I'm the only one to blame (oh Yeah)
But I'm different now
Won't you believe me (won't you believe me)
You gotta believe me (gotta believe me)
Come on and believe me (won't you believe me)
You gotta believe me (gotta believe me)
[Verse 2:]
Conscience talking to me
Like it can't wait another day
No she didn't won't to hear me
You gotta take it to her face
I pleaded of not guilty
To the charges that she claim
Jump to one conclusion
Hope you find the mind to change
And I'm like
OO I hate to see you with another man
Oh I can't take it
And I'm like OO I wanna put my world back in your hands
Then I can show you
[Chorus:]
I can't wait (I can't wait no)
For you to see how much I changed (how much I changed)
No excuses
It was my fault (all my fault)
I'm the only one to blame (Blame me)
But I'm different now
Won't you believe me (won't you believe me)
You gotta believe me (you gotta believe me)
Come on and believe me (won't you believe me)
You gotta believe me (you gotta believe me)
[Verse 3:]
If there was a lesson
I've already learned it (Yea)
Didn't need to start a fire
Don't let me just burn (oh no)
Cause I can't wait (eh)
[Chorus:]
I can't wait (oh no, oh no)
I can't wait (no I just can't wait)
For you to see how much I changed (for you to see change)
No excuses
It was my fault (it was my bad)
I'm the only one to blame (wanna blame, Blame me girl)
But I'm different now
Won't you believe me (won't you believe me)
You gotta believe me (you gotta believe me)
Come on and believe me (won't you believe me)
