The Kalling Lyrics

Brute force on the frontline
Youth force, it's your time
Rastafari call you, call you, call you
Yeah, man all soldiers report to duty
King Selassie a call you, call you, call you
(Accurate) ayy, huh

Who have eyes fi see dem a go see
And who have ears dem a go hear (oh)
When Rastafari calling, the reception haffi clear (that's right)
Hungry fed, naked be clothed, many infants to be cared
Sick be nourished, aged protected, that's the duty that we share
When you tek up Rasta banner do nuh tek e fi no joke
It's more than just the locks upon you head and what you smoke
The words dem that you spoke, energies you evoke (hey, chuh)
Dem must be a reflection of the king (ay, huh)

I merge from the shadows wid mi big spliff aglow
Kabaka send to call me, say the war it ready now
Ragga send me pon di road with the magazine dem load
Lyrically rapid fire when dem attacking the throne
Any time we come around, word, power and the sound (sound)
Surrender to the struggle is a thing we'll never do (never do)
The example has been shown, some believe and others know (show, know)
Rastafari mek the call, my brothers and my sisters move
Betta let them through

Brute force on the frontline
Youth force, it's your time
Rastafari call you, call you, call you
King Selassie a call you, call you, call you (ay)

Hey
Get to know yuh king and watch him end yuh suffering
Nuh pay no mind to none a di stones dem weh them a fling, ay
Hey, medi haffi firm, di revolution start within yah
Pon di frontline not inside peepin' through no window
Step without an extra clip, oh no
Stop wul it and go tun a counterfeit, oh no
Firm grip on the truth
We are the yutes weh know the value of we roots
Refuse to lose any more prophets (yeah)

It's not about no doctrine or religion
It's my actions and decisions
'Cause these tracks weh man a sing pon
Dem impact how people live
But some of we just lacking vision
And no you n'affi be a mathematician
Fi see how poverty attracts attrition (true)
The yute dem growing up without no stable father figures
And the school nuh really give them no foundation fi go build pon
Suh them tek it to the street
And all them face is opposition
And restriction from police and politicians
Every day a just the same

Brute force (yeah)
On the frontline (on the frontline, yeah)
Huh, youth force (each and every one, ayy)
It's your time
Rastafari call you, call you, call you (oh, no, yeah)
King Selassie a call you, call you, call you (yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Whoa, yeah) brute force
(A dat di boy dem a use iya)
On the frontline (chuh)
Youth force (calling, calling)
It's your time (Rastafari call you)
Rastafari call you, call you, call you
(Yeah, the Most High call upon the young, you know)
King Selassie a call you, call you, call you
Ayy
