Jah send I as a messenger
To teach the youth about roots and culture
And tell the massive fi remember Jah
That's all I a deal with iyah well
Jah send I as a messenger
To teach the youth about roots and culture
And tell the massive fi remember Jah
That's all I a deal with iyah

Man a sing bout how them mus love don
Them forget Jah and put them woman up front
There's a time and place for everything woh-woh
Them talk 'bout how them fire them gun
And talk 'bout how them buts gatlin
But I don't have no time to mingle in sin woh-

Jah send I as a messenger
To teach the youth about roots and culture
And tell the massive fi remember Jah
That's all I a deal with iyah
Jah send I as a messenger
To teach the youth about roots and culture
And tell the massive fi remember Jah
That's all I a deal with iyah

You remember how Jah send Jonah and Elijah
Moses and Noah, Martin Luther King and Marcus too
Them never falter, the man them do them works and them move on
So I nuh de ya fi look, I'n I must carry on Jah works

Jah send I as a messenger
To teach the youth about roots and culture
And tell the massive fi remember Jah
That's all I a deal with iyah
Jah send I as a messenger
To teach the youth about roots and culture
And tell the massive fi remember Jah
That's all I a deal with iyah

I'n I nuh come yah fi turn wood and stone
'N I come yah fi teach so you better learn
You better love Jah and live
Give all the love you can give
Prepare to move on
Cause this place is not your home - woh -

Jah send I as a messenger
To teach the youth about roots and culture
And tell the massive fi remember Jah
That's all I a deal with iyah
Jah send I as a messenger
To teach the youth about roots and culture
And tell the massive fi remember Jah
That's all I a deal with iyah
