*Jonah follows Dimi and Banger into the bar.He then turns to them and says softly:
"Oy,mon,ya gimmie a moment.I got ta' relate,mon."
He then climbs up onto the barstage,and grabs the microphone.
"Everyone, me got sumthin' ta say,so,if ya wanna listin',go on an' listin'."
He clears his throat and signals the bartender.At the same time a solid interlocking reggae-like beat starts playing.
"Dis one be sumthin' mah parents gave onta' me,deyre parents gave onta' dem an' so on an 'so on,it go dis way:
Yeah man, Jah will be waitin there we a shout, Jah will be waitin there!
In this world of calamity, dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
And police weh abuse dem authority, media
clowns we nuh know bout variety, boom
Di youngest veteran a come murder dem slow
Ragamuffin sent to call me from de bush bungalow
betta watch it mek I clear out my voice now figarow
Emerge from di darkness wit me big blunt a glow
me hammer dem a slam and spectator get low
Some bwoy could a big like Bam Bam Bigelow
Buss off trigger finger trigger hand and trigger toe
A two gun mi have mi buss dem inna stereo
Cause, I got to keep on walkin, on the road to Zion man
Hey, we got to keep it burnin, on the road to Zion man
Clean and pure meditation without a doubt
Don't mek dem tek yuh Who dem took out
Jah will be waitin there we a shout, Jah will be waitin there!
In this world of calamity, dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
And police weh abuse dem authority, media clowns we nuh know bout variety
Single parents weh need some charity
Yutes weh need some love and prosperity
Inside a broken dreams and tragedy
By any plan with any means and strategy
Say, we got to keep on walkin
on the road to Zion man
You know you got to keep on walkin
on the road to Zion man...
Sometimes I can't help but feel helpless
I'm havin daymares in daytime wide awake try to relate
This can't be happenin like I'm in a dream while I'm walkin
Cause what I'm seein is hauntin, human beings like ghost and zombies
President Mugabe holdin guns to innocent bodies
In Zimbabwe, they make John Pope seem Godly, sacrilegious and blasphemous
In my lifetime I look back at paths I walked, where
savages fought and pastors taught
Prostitutes stomp in high heel boots
And badges screamin at young black children stop or I will shoot
I look back at cooked crack plus cars that pass by
Jaguars mad fly, and I'm guilty for materialism
Blacks is still up in the prison trust that
So save me your sorrys I'm raisin a Army
Revolutionary warfare with Damian Marley
We sparkin da irons marchin to Zion
You know how Nas be NYC state of mind I'm in
In this world of calamity, dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
And police weh abuse dem authority, media
clowns we nuh know bout variety, boom
Di youngest veteran a come murder dem slow
Ragamuffin sent to call me from di bush bungalow
betta watch it mek I clear out my voice now figarow
emerge from di darkness wit me big blunt a glow
me hammer dem a slam and spectator get low
Some bwoy could a big like Bam Bam Bigelow
Buss off trigger finger trigger hand and trigger toe
A two gun mi have mi buss dem inna stereo
Cause, I got to keep on walkin, on the road to Zion man
Hey, we got to keeps it burnin, on the road to Zion man
Clean and pure meditation widout a doubt
Don't mek dem tek yuh like who dem took out
Jah will be waitin there we a shout, Jah will be waitin there!
Clean and pure meditation widout a doubt
Don't mek dem tek yuh like who dem took out
Jah will be waitin there we a shout, Jah will be waitin there!
In this world of calamity, dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
And police weh abuse dem authority, media crush we nuh know bout variety
Single parents weh need some charity
Yutes weh need some love and prosperity
Inside a broken dreams and tragedy
By any plan with any means and strategy
Inside a broken dreams and tragedy
Yutes weh need some love and prosperity
Inside a broken dreams and tragedy
By any plan with any means and strategy
Hey,say I got to keep on walkin, on the road to Zion man
You know, you got to keep on walkin, on the road to Zion man..."
He then climbs off the stage with a blissful expression and sits in a corner chairpiece,all alone.*
