Lyrics

[Intro]
“Oh, yuh seh bow, mi seh rise up tall!
Reason nah follow nuh kingdom call!”

[Verse 1]
Dem seh, “Walk di straight road, salvation deh ahead,”
But mi nuh tek map from di liars weh misled.
Dem seh, “Keep yuh faith,” but mi keep mi doubt,
Fi dismantle dem lies, ah di truth wi shout!

[Chorus]
Question di throne! Doubt di decree!
Fyah fi di rules weh ah try fi bind wi!
Mind ah mi weapon, truth ah mi key,
Dance wid di stars inna cosmic spree!

[Verse 2]
Oh, dem seh di righteous ah march in line,
But fi who decide righteousness, and why mi fi comply?
Fyah pon guilt weh dem use fi control,
Ah freedom we sing fi di conscious soul!

[Bridge] [Reggae dub with punchy breaks]
“Beatbox kick it, mek di riddim rise,
Wi ah tear down wall wid di power of di wise!”
Nah fi worship, nah fi kneel,
Ah di truth and di funk wi reveal!

[Chorus]
Question di throne! Doubt di decree!
Fyah fi di rules weh ah try fi bind wi!
Mind ah mi weapon, truth ah mi key,
Dance wid di stars inna cosmic spree!

[Outro] [Deep dub echo fades]
“Reason ah di rebel, love ah di guide...
We ah question di throne wid di riddim inside!”
