New Kingston - Protect Me lyrics

Jah, protect me from the evil in the streets Protect me Jah Jah Protect me from the robbers and thieves Oh Jah I'm begging for some strength When I get weak Must beware of the mark ah the beast Show I the way Guide me through these evil road blocks I and I keep the faith Them can't trim I natty dreadlocks Say a little prayer for a sunny day Can't take the sky When it's so grey Jah gimme strength so I never go astray Listen what New Kingston haffi say (x2) Jah, protect me from the evil in the streets Protect me Jah Jah Protect me from the robbers and thieves Oh Jah I'm begging for some strength When I get weak Must beware of the mark ah the beast Oh Jah gimme the strength so I never go astray As I trod over these hills Over mountains and valleys Please guide me on my way This is what I pray At times in life we struggle But I'm trying to keep the faith So much going on in this world That is wrong We're searching for the answers To the questions in this song (x2) Jah, protect me from the evil in the streets Protect me Jah Jah Protect me from the robbers and thieves Oh Jah I'm begging for some strength When I get weak Must beware of the mark ah the beast They try to clip I branches But them can't k** the roots Life can be a struggle So we have to teach the youths Don't gimme no d** to juggle Don't gimme no guns to shoot Just trust in Jah And you will find a way To make it through The race is for the swift Chosen are few Babylon ah ask we question Like an interview Because it's in the paper Do you think that makes it true Just follow Jah Jah teachings And you gonna make it through 'Cause (x2) Jah, protect me from the evil in the streets Protect me Jah Jah Protect me from the robbers and thieves Oh Jah I'm begging for some strength When I get weak Must beware of the mark ah the beast
