Mr. Softee

Don't want to be no Mr. Softee
Don't want to lose my integrity
Don't want to be no Mr. Softee
If I-man backslide it could get ugly

There's no second guess, me haffi hold a fresh
Time to meditate, cause I've got to pass JAH test
Dem wan fe hold me down so I can join the rest
But even though they curse me, JAH JAH still bless
Got to stand strong in the midst of wicked Babylon
Tougher than the rest, yes even tougher than iron
It's just a higher meditation, could never go wrong
Haffi strengthen up the livity and walk like a lion

Many men come and say to me that JAH JAH is dead
A set of psychological babble fe come mash up di head
But I'ma dread, I deal with simple things instead
I listen to creation, so I could never get misled
Babylon bwoys are too craven they only fuss and fight
Just pure backbite cause everyone wants to be right
They all have eyes in dem head but they have no eyesight
JAH fyah mek my way clear so I can see through the night

Don't want to be no Mr. Softee
Don't want to lose my integrity
Don't want to be no Mr. Softee
If I-man backslide it could get ugly

No I don't want dem fi mek me into no Mr. Softee
Dem wan fill me up with liquor just to try and go rock me
Dem lift me up with words and then leggo and drop me
Then try serve me flesh of beasts to mek me slow and groggy
But Babylon soldier can't stop me, this is not a joke ting
Rastafari is from ancientcy, and not just some kinda fling
I&I follow in the footsteps of the Savior and the King
Conquering Lion breaks every chain, liberation JAH bring

Could never overstand why wicked men show nah love at all
It's like they just want to wait to see the Rastaman fall
Yet I will still stand in JAH glory when they panic and crawl
Cause I see the four riders leaving from the Gideon stall
When the right time come, I-man will never turn and go run
Everything in its due season, it's just a natural progression
I stand firm and fight for truth and rights like a champion
Hey Mr. Softee get off me, meh seh you ah go melt in the sun

Don't want to be no Mr. Softee
Don't want to lose my integrity
Don't want to be no Mr. Softee
If I-man backslide it could get ugly
