state of Jah music yea now
state of Jah music yea now
state of Jah music yea now
state of Jah music yea now
They tried to keep it down,
They said the music’s dead
I read it in a magazine
“The death of reggae” is what it said
But Iman know different
It’s still very much alive
As long as my heart’s still beating
I know the vibes will survive
Cause it’s the state of Jah music yea now
Still very much alive
state of Jah music yea now
In my heart it will survive
state of Jah music yea now
they’re not gonna keep it down
state of Jah music yea now
got to move forward can’t lose no ground
Whoa! It’s the state of Jah music yea now
state of Jah music yea now
state of Jah music yea now
state of Jah music yea now
It started out the rebel music,
the people’s cry heard across creation
When the prophet passed, he left a vacuum
Who’s gonna fill his destination?
state of Jah music yea now
They’re not gonna keep it down, no way
state of Jah music yea now
not as long as I’m still around
state of Jah music yea now
It’s still very much alive
state of Jah music yea now
Got to survive!
The years have passed, the music’s changing
Trying to reach wider acceptance
Some they go slack, some they stand firm now
We find the leaders rearranging
So hurry now, read all about it
The vulture’s cry is in the air
But they won’t eat today, I doubt it
Cause Jah no dead, He’s everywhere!
