I and I representing
The power, glory, and majesty
Might of the holiest trinity
Hail Haile Selassie, Selassie
History they’re teaching is wrong
Theres nothing new underneath the sun
Everything in life got it’s purpose
High above and beneath the surface
Each day we pray giving thanks
In remembrance of where we came from
The Olmec civilization is in alliance with the Africans
(Vaughn’s Verse)

Fill it up, fill it up
Fill up my cup
Fill it up, fill it up
Me can’t get enough
I can tell by the way your body’s shaking
And I can tell by the way your body’s swaying
I don’t think that your feeling the sensation

Although you don’t know it
And I see you don’t blink
The words are written down just so you see
I want you, I need you
Ooh girl you got to fill it up…
Give you all the stars and bliss
Jewels on your wrist
Got to fill it up
Got me on a trip saying
One little girl stepping up to me
Said she loves the vibes
And I caught her dancing
Attracted to the hype, attracted to the scene
So in love, don’t know a thing about me
Now tell me would you love me if I didn’t have money
To give you all the stars and bliss
Jewels on your wrist
Now this thing just getting funny
Dancing like she wants some tips
Got me on a trip saying
Got to fill it up
Give you all the stars and bliss
Jewels on your wrist
Got to fill it up
Got me on a trip saying
From Monday to Sunday
I know her heart’s clean cause that’s where the sun deh
Sometimes your actions got me wondering
If you’re here for me
Or just a look something
So won’t you fill it, fil it, fill it, fill it
Come gimme di love girl

Got me on a trip saying

Give you all the stars and bliss
Jewels on your wrist

Raised up from a seed down in San Diego
Only culture only Rhythim only thing that a brother knows
Don’t give a shit for politics, new whips or fancy clothes
New Adidas, Nikes, Fillas, and them hats and Kangol’s
Only music in my soul so music everywhere we go
Right around Jah globe man decide to hit the road
Leave my mother and my father, brother, families at home
Down through Mexico and up through Colorado
Past the sea and through the desert
Over mountains into snow
Deep up past the knees from my head down to my toes
Trees up in my pocket, smoke goes
Where the wind blows
Over through the land and traveling to another show Soooo,
While we in the area
Light it up, not daring you
Why some never hearing you
Cause your sound boy him delirious
Tribal seeds is in the area
Causing mass hysteria
Still drinking more beer than you
All other sound it is inferior
You better know who you are
And where you come from
Lay the path to the place where you belong
From the day you were born
To where you trod on
No one holds you to limitation
We the seeds in your area
Slightly Stoopid mashing up America
Like the music in psalms of King Solomon
Let it be heard by all generations
So tell me watta gwan all the youth rebellion
Light up the world in a revolution
Wisdom in the song to keep your head strong
In allegiance to the dub nation
Watch them all sing along to the rastaman chant
Take on the world with a guitar at hand
So tell me what you gonna do when them tell you to stop
Run them over
So what you gonna do now when them tell you to stop
Run them over
Tribal seeds in your area
Systems we never fearing you
Light it up, we not daring you
Triumph over inferior

We’re jamming in the moonlight
Hear the sound waves by the seaside
We don’t need to play for anyone
We don’t need to play for anyone
We’re jamming in the moonlight
Where the waves crash by the seaside
We don’t need to play for anyone
We don’t need to play for anyone
I like to get a peace of mind
In my own time
So roll one up, light it up
Cuz in the meantime
The rat race is going strong
And the people’s minds are too far gone
So we don’t need to play
We don’t need to play nah
We don’t need to play
We don’t need to play for anyone
Nah we don’t need to play for anyone
Can you ease, can you ease my mind?
Healing of herb, lift me up high
Away from the city, away from the sight
Of light pollution, just clear skies tonight
Blaze up the herb and light up the world
Tonight we play for no one but the plants and creatures
I see Jah glory from
The rise of the morning sun

Said you’re ruined little girl
Said you’re ruined by the world
Lost in your diamonds and pearls
Little value in this world
If I was a big shot man, girl
You would give me your world
But since I am a humble man
You won’t give me a word
Well stray by the little
And you will fall
Nowhere to run with your back against the wall
Tonight, tonight you must fight
You must fight yeah
Well self realize what you really are
A beautiful queen who has been robbed
From I and I
Yeah from I and I
I say
Self realize darling
What you really are baby
You have been robbed sadly
From all your glory
I beg you self realize what you really are
A beautiful queen who has been robbed
From I and I
Yeah from I and I
And if you stray by the little
Then you will fall
Nowhere to run with your back against the wall
Tonight, tonight you must fight
You must fight yeah

Killuminati cuz them is a blood clot
Killuminati cuz them is a blood clot
Tell them say we want no more of that
Tell them say we want no more of that
The masses have strayed so far away
Living in the age of materialism today
I and I live by faith and give Jah the praise
So were not afraid when the evil come step in our way
Masters of rasta, soon taking over
And the proud shall humble to their knee
In awe of his majesty
The whole world witnessing
That only the righteous and the meek shall inherit livity
Yea only the righteous!
(Don’s Verse)
Illuminati naughty naughty dread son
Jah gonna wipe out you heathens
Illuminati naughty naughty dread ones
Jah gonna smash down you demons
So let it be known
Dread, let it be known
From the east and to the west
Chant them down, let it be known

First time I met you, I could not forget you
Playing on like my favorite song
And it goes on and on and on
Reminiscing the time that I left you
You were getting down
And you were drinking Crown
You were dancing slow
You start to lose control
But you you got to understand
Please hush, hush darling
There she goes, staring as she’s walking
Moving slow, eyes doing the talking
Don’t you know you appeal to me so
Can’t let this get out of control
So give me your touch
Give me your kiss and hugs
No one needs to know about this loving
For real, I’m telling you the deal
A heart is nothing you can easily steal
They way you rub me down
Way you caress me down
Way you love me down
Say you’re the best around
So hush, me say hush darling
No needs to know about us, so hush darling
Girl you’re my undercover lover
You’re my undercover lover
So keep it on the low
No one needs to know
Well lady, lately
It’s the feeling I got
Slower babe, I think it’s time we pick it up
You’re far away
And I’m feeling like I’m stuck
But when we get together babe
You’re my one stop shop
They way you rub me down
Way you caress me down
Way you love me down
Say you’re the best around
So hush, me say hush darling
No needs to know about us, so hush darling

You got me craving your love
All night and day
You got me missing your touch
Oh everyday
Oh girl, oh girl
Oh girl, oh girl
I laid to rest my head
These visions I had
Dreaming of her, no other
Yet still far away
I’ll reach you one day or another
My lover
My hearts beating like a drum
In a roots rhythm
It’s so strong yeah
And you’re still far away
I will come your way
Won’t be long yeah
Impossible to hold you now
I’ll travel to your town
I pray for you
So evil don’t trouble you no
Don’t care too much
For what the others do so
I laid to rest my head
These visions again
Dreaming of her, no other
Yet still far away
I’ll reach you one day or another
My lover
My hearts beating like a drum
In a roots rhythm
It’s so strong yeah
And you’re still far away
I will come your way
Won’t be long yeah
Impossible to hold you now
I’ll travel to your town

Genesis of roots
Seeking the rays of the sun
Cultivated from the ancients
And smoked since day one
Way of I ancestor
Way of natural law
Sumerian can’t knock it till you take a little draw
In a peace treaty
Circulate the herb around
Light it up and it roots I back to the ground
In a meditation
Intriguing is the sound
Of the word of Jah
Let it be heard all around
Whether you’re coming from afar
Or you come from around town
Smoke the herb
And show them how we get down
In a residence or in downtown
Fire when Babylon surround the compound
All will bow down to the crown
When you hear the trumpets sound
Healing from herb
Come and lift you when you’re down
Feeling up the vibes
When you hear your eardrums pounding
Herbal congregations when we’re coming through your town
This little herb stock
Growing in my yard
No I never leave too far
This little herb stock
Growing in my yard, growing in my yard
I Herb stock
Pon I little herb stock, I herb stock
Pon I little herb stock
Growing in my yard
(Mykal Rose Verse)

Don't Wait

Don’t wait too long
For my loving
Don’t wait too long
For my loving
Can’t stop thinking of
Times when you did come
And times you went away
For so many days
Waiting all these months
Counting one by one
And I anticipate
Eager do I wait
But surely as the sun
Rises in the dawn
Everything is in good state
Hold on to your faith
And keep your head strong
Cuz it won’t be long
For the pain to dissipate
Things will be irie
Can’t let this hurt
Kill the irie vibes tonight
Don’t let no rude boy
Gone turn you parasite
I’m telling you don’t wait through
Anguish and the fight
This patience is killing me
Seen girl
Diamond in this world
Beautiful and deadly way you manifest your word
Sweet girl
Sweeter than the herbs
Sweeter than the honey from the bees and the birds
A way you twirl
In a short skirt
Moves mesmerizing
And your looks paralyzing
Return, come back to my world
Essence uniting and our love harmonizing
Can’t let this hurt
Kill the irie vibes tonight
Don’t let no rude boy
Gone turn you parasite
I’m telling you don’t wait through
Anguish and the fight
This patience is killing me

Lonely night
Your love shall always remain close to you
But when you feast your eyes up in the sky
Let them be blessed by the stars and Jah moon
Mother of creation your night
Women let your heart
Be faithful and true
And when you feast your eyes up in the sky
Let them be blessed by the stars and Jah moon
Mother of creation
We shall walk past this ya darkness
Love is in the stars always sparkling
And this land is ever roots rocking
Eyes above shall be our light yeah
Hold to your faith, keep it in your mind
The light that is hidden is the light that shall shine
Rise up your head, don’t look down and cry
I and I have the sky in sight
I know now, days are passing by
Out of the darkness bring forth true light
Wipe your eye, little lonesome and rise
Lift thine eye to your might
I and I deal with Jah
And don’t expect to be justified by your law
In a mi conscience the fire is burning
It is the confidence that’s doing the strengthening
Lay your blessed access to I heart
Love goes further than education could be taught
Your inner sense is more than what I lips can chant
Worth is more than anything that they could a stock
Your love is all I need to brighten I lonely night yeah
Sometimes I’m wrong woman, sometimes you’re right
Ban away all the fussing and the fighting
Replace wicked rejection with blessed uniting
Eyes shall do your brightening yeah
