"The Harvest" lyrics

"The Harvest"

When I first picked up the mic
I was three and at my brother's side
Didn't know what I was singing but
The vibe was always right
Didn't think sound would have such a strong impact
On my life
This music it puts I and I in such
A natural high

Nowadays we a work, we a work
We a work to spread Jah word
Nowadays we a work, we a work
We a work to spread Jah word
Cuz In a this ya life you got to strive all the time
Strive to do good works and achieve peace of mind
Spreading the truth in a positive vibe
Educate the youth and tell them no lie

We play the music of Jah
For the harvest time
Come with sweet melodies
To ease your mind
We play the music of Jah
For the harvest time
Come with sweet melodies
To ease your mind

Now I'm 21 still working rhythm
Never cared for education
Never want to be a stock on the shelf
Wanted to be myself
But in a world living in hell
Me say you can't do very well
So I mon keep my mind focused on the prize
That's worth my while

Nowadays we a work, we a work
We a work to spread Jah word
Cuz In a this ya life you got to strive all the time
Strive to do good works and achieve peace of mind
Spreading the truth in a positive vibe
Educate the youth and tell them no lie

Nowadays we a work, we a work
We a work to spread Jah word
Cuz In a this ya life you got to strive all the time
Strive to do good works and achieve peace of mind
Spreading the truth in a positive vibe
Educate the youth and tell them no lie
