Of going to court

Every Policeman from Jamaica know me come from court to hold the Holy Bible

Say I solemnly swear the evidence I shall give shall be the truth

The whole truth and nothing but the truth

So help me God

So help I Jah

Cause I don’t do God

Seen there is a difference between God and Jah

You see my words is the truth and the truth causes offense

But no way can youth consciousness

Arise unless the youths know the truth

Without the truth there is no consciousness

And there is no hypocrisy about that

And shituation continue to exercise itself daily

And you see because

InI

Who was lost in fantasy

Seeking to find reality

From it

Realize what is

We do not intend

To walk backways

Our grandfather did

His grandfather did

My mother did

My father did

So give us nothing in the family to direct I unto the light

How good and pleasant it is at this psychological moment to sit down humble and learn

Because in these days where is no one tellin the truth everyone come say die and go to heaven give me one tenth of your earning

The truth is not for sale

It cannot be bought

Especially by the poor

Because due to unfavorable financial condition of the psychological moment

Is the reason why the state government is not run Jam as it should be

But because this is just the Of progress

We wanted to see

What it would work out to be

And now that Jah have shown InI

The progress of prosperity within this consciousness

It is just the beginning

InI

Who is sent of the Most High
