Trevy James - Nuff Smoke Lyrics

Nuff fire Ima blaze
Nuff chronic haffi choke
Nuff flag a go wave
Strictly red, green & gold
Move forward always
Babylon aint no joke
Nuff banner a go wave
As we signal nuff smoke
Nuff fire Ima blaze
Nuff chronic haffi choke
Nuff flag a go wave
Strictly red, green & gold
Move forward always
Babylon aint no joke
Nuff banner a go wave
As we signal nuff smoke
Trevy James with the mic check
Live & direct, with respect
To the rest of the music industry
Take note, I&I on deck
You have met
Captain & Junior on the riddim for the first time
With the worst kind, of tuffness steady
Flowing inna this blood line
Big up one time
To my people 'round the globe who think twice and don't buy
Into all that Babylon business
Ital food when it's lunch time
Homie it's crunch time
Cause times are dread, nuff blood been shed
The hatred spread
Around this Earth, it makes me want to pass long
What I've been blessed to have
This voice, that I lend
The best I can to try and condemn
These people in my country try to rip their fellow man to shreds
It don't make sense
All this wackness, this outdated practice
When a Hollywood producer feels empowered to touch the asses
Of his hired actresses
Man that's tactless
Like cutting out education to lower taxes
Everyday cops shootin first, then askin
Nuff fire Ima blaze
Nuff chronic haffi choke
Nuff flag a go wave
Strictly red, green & gold
Move forward always
Babylon aint no joke
Nuff banner a go wave
As we signal nuff smoke
Nuff fire Ima blaze
Nuff chronic haffi choke
Nuff flag a go wave
Strictly red, green & gold
Move forward always
Babylon aint no joke
Nuff banner a go wave
As we signal nuff smoke
I've been on the bench too long like a low grade draft pick
But I've drafted
Nuff sounds and all the while studied the classics
But now class is
Dismissed, I'll give in to these sounds in my head
That weigh me down like they're lead
So I need to get em out 'fore I'm dead
I've wept and cursed and I've pled
Cause I feel my dream's gone unsaid
To the Most High out of fear I don't deserve that which I've wanted
While nuff my peers have just sped
Onward to their goals instead
Till one day I was at my desk like
These tea leaves were misread
I misstepped in my youth by not acknowledging my truth
That the only place for I&I is in this vocal booth
Felt that I had too much to prove
Like my looks were too uncouth
Such that the world would disapprove
A yout like me with such a groove
But soothe as it will
Reggae music can heal
All the constant daily pain we all feel
When we're victimized by partisan deals
To have the truth concealed
For the sake of keeping the wheels
Of that Babylon bus turning
But we're free to get off at will
Nuff fire Ima blaze
Nuff chronic haffi choke
Nuff flag a go wave
Strictly red, green & gold
Move forward always
Babylon aint no joke
Nuff banner a go wave
As we signal nuff smoke
Nuff fire Ima blaze
Nuff chronic haffi choke
Nuff flag a go wave
Strictly red, green & gold
Move forward always
Babylon aint no joke
Nuff banner a go wave
As we signal nuff smoke
Longtime I&I been on the outside lookin in
Much to my chagrin
But I always put my faith in H.I.M.
Selassie keep me bubblin'
What might be troublin'
Just thickens up my skin
(BOOM!)
Longtime I&I been the one who always was looked past
But here I am at last
Selassie keep I travelin the right path
Most High keep I travelin the right path
(It's Trevy James!)
Nuff fire Ima blaze
Nuff chronic haffi choke
Nuff flag a go wave
Strictly red, green & gold
Move forward always
Babylon aint no joke
Nuff banner a go wave
As we signal nuff smoke
Nuff fire Ima blaze
Nuff chronic haffi choke
Nuff flag a go wave
Strictly red, green & gold
Move forward always
Babylon aint no joke
Nuff banner a go wave
As we signal nuff smoke
