Freedom Taking Over (feat. Cedric 'Congos' Mytton & Don Carlos)

I'm not disappointed in what gone in the past, you know
I'm happy because I'm here living a good life praising Jah
Giving thanks and seeing a lot of good
Things happening, you know, good people
There's some light behind the tunnel
So after all this time there's a little light shining, you know
And it's gonna get brighter
Zion flaming from her iron gates
Dragon fire and her burn the more
Jah gonna start this revolution

The light struck the night
At you and discipline a battle them fight
Who walk and talk they steal, mash them down we will
With the strength of a lion stand still, I hear, I hear
War today, oh, still I hear war today, yeah, yeah
The youth man call upon the elders of which we seek after
Oh, the Congo man a chanting
Oh, them Congo man a chant

Oh, the youth them know, but them cannot see
It's not the youth's life when they beat up the weak
Oh, the youth them know of all the tears we cry
Yes, of this Rastaman life, oh, this Rastaman life
And you can see the changes from the night
And talk of what you dream in the desolate places

Oh, we give thanks and praises to our elders, yes
For the guidance we seek after
We give thanks and praises to our elders
For unto them we know the notes that often shall stand alone tonight
Shall roam, roam tonight
Shall stand alone tonight
Shall roam, roam tonight
Long before this war we used to cry, we used to lie in bed
With visions of fire running red
So I call upon my elders instead
Don Carlos at the contry

Oh yeah, oh yeah now
Oh yeah, oh yeah now
Oh yeah, oh yeah now
Oh yeah, oh yeah now
See them come up along them road
Oh, I can see them
Some walk by day, some stalk by night
Oh, Rastafari shall greet them in the end
And so them man, them run off so long, so long, oh Lord
They beating them down, they shooting them down
It's a poor man battle for the youth man stalk
And the rich them a run away
Seems like them no know them right from wrong
But I see the youth still fight tonight, woah
Look how they jump and shake and moan
For natty coming over

Man, this a freedom taking over
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh
Oh yeah now

Gonna mash them down
And tear them down
