Hold you now


This one is for my city girls
I'm wondering if you'll get with me girl
Country youth, you know
Yeah yeah

My lady let me hold you now
I don't want to hold you down
Come to me, let me show you ?round
I know I'm from the country, take you out of town
You naa go want fi go back home
(repeat)

Let me take you from a place where
Politicians they don't play fair
Brainwash the youth dem from the daycare
I speak of youths because a few is what we may share
?Cause me and you, we can make a truly great pair
Me love your mind and your body too
Down to every molecule
Stand firm inna your solitude
Me woulda love fi you combine with me
That would really put my mind at ease

Me say you eyes pretty like
The light inna the city night
And a you me want fi see tonight
Me say you hotter than the gritty, I
Wonder if you would accept this water that is bubbling up in my chillum
pipe
Me want fi see you prosper inna what you do
This a nuh Twitter so you know me naa go follow you
But me haffi follow through, honor you
You need fi tell me wha' you wanna do

You so divine inna your essence
Me love your effervescence
You full me up a blessings
Mama Yashi when you dressing
You destined for peace by the speech you addressing me with
And everything you do I see fit
A you alone the Rasta man a sleep with
So long as we stick together, we rich together

No fish, no feathers, no deaders so we syncing better
This ya ship ya no

Saint Elizy a me dwelling place
Sometimes them nuh have no bread in plate
Hungry belly but them celebrate
Life and meditate, heights and elevate
We no go church but me woulda love a wedding day
?Cause if them violate, ?cause we moving at a higher rate
The warriors will make the fire blaze
?Cause Selassie I we praise
This love will never expiring
No need for you to ever shy away

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
