Know Yourself by Zikki, Bost & Bim

Know Yourself

Ohhh oooooo, 
Swahili Rasta 
If you don’t know yourself, mmmh

If you don’t know yourself 
You will blame yourself 
Life too short for you to harm yourself 
Live it like you believe it 
Live it like you believe it

If you don’t know yourself 
You will blame yourself 
Life too short for you to harm yourself 
Live it like you believe it 
Save us (save us)

Save us, save us
From the corrupted officers in uniforms 
Burning down the fields of the scattered seeds
Jah See what they doing to your children 

Helicopter, helicopter 
Hide yourself or be captured 
You are here for a short time
Oooooo,
Some sim simma in a bimmer 
Do anything to be the winner 
Money dem want so they kill dem
Fuck up the culture for the minerals 

If you don’t know yourself 
You will blame yourself 
Life too short for you to harm yourself 
Live it like you believe it 
Live it like you believe it

If you don’t know yourself 
You will blame yourself 
Life too short for you to harm yourself 
Live it like you believe it 
Save us (save us)
(Jah Rasta )

Man can’t fear 
We need the future to be water clear
In this life we fight the strife and tear
Revolutions calling make it reappear 
Lord,

Roots and culture guide us everyday
Unity and love let’s pave the way 
Revelations coming can you feel the sway
Rasta warrior we won’t go astray 

Stand tall my brother, wipe away the tear
Umoja ni nguvu now the path is clear
In the struggle we conquer every fear 
Together strong our time is here


If you don’t know yourself 
You will blame yourself 
Life too short for you to harm yourself 
Live it like you believe it 
Live it like you believe it

If you don’t know yourself 
You will blame yourself 
Life too short for you to harm yourself 
Live it like you believe it 
Save us (save us)
