NO MORE

Music by: Sajato Jarrett

Lyrics & Melody by: Derrick N. Ashong

I turned to the Westward Wind

To find my way

And it said:

"That's how we found you

So that's where you'll stay"

So I looked to the King of Kings

To show me the way

And he said:

"Look to what's bound you

And you'll be a slave no more."

I wandered these desert barrows

Beneath Babylon's gaze

And I suffered these slings & arrows

In search of thy grace

So I wade through these tumbling waters

Like tears from my daughters face

The price we pay to dream

Led me...

To turn to the Westward Wind

To find my way

And it said

"That's how we found you

So that's where you'll stay"

So I looked to the King of Kings

To show me the way

And he said:

"Look to what's bound you

And you'll be a slave no more."

Come walk a mile through the jungle

See if you understand

The depths of the festering anger

That dwells in the midst of man

Can you hear in the heart of another

A call for his brother's hand?

And would you trade your life for his land?

I've tried to understand...

Slow flex

Shoot from the neck

Spit a little truth to put the peons in check

Some follow blind to the crimes they protect

But we bless the mic like a bullet-proof chest

In the warzone

Blood spill a blood for the money

Biggest criminals dem watch the game like it's funny

Push a button,

Man go put a bullet in his neighbour

Watch his brother rise in anger

To return the little favor

Soon enough they a' go clear

Any form of opposition

Now send the boys

To complete the bloody mission

Steal whatever land the dear departed left behind

Chop every drop of treasure left

Within the carrion find

And now you sit 'pon riviera

Watch as they scare the

Life out of the simple

As they tell them it was "terror"

Based in the madness of a hate-filled armada

Sit back, spin a dime

'Nother day

Plenty dollar...
