Sizzla Kalonji, or simply Sizzla (born Miguel Orlando Collins, April 17, 1976, Kingston, Jamaica) is a reggae musician. He is one of the most commercially and critically successful contemporary reggae artists and is noted for his high number of releases. As of 2011 he had released over 65 solo albums.
Sizzla was born in Kingston in 1976 to devout Rastafari movement parents. Like them Sizzla subscribes to the Bobo Ashanti branch of the Rastafari movement. He was raised in August Town, Kingston Jamaica where he studied mechanical engineering at Dunoon High School.
Kalonji witnessed a dancehall explosion, and with the music came the lifestyle: drugs, guns, and "slackness" (vulgarity). Formally adopting the Rastafari faith, with its advocacy of repatriation to Africa and its use of cannabis, he joined the ranks of the Bobo Ashanti in the mid-1990s.
Sizzla began to develop his own style whilst serving his musical apprenticeship with the Caveman Hi-Fi sound system. He has used his music as a vehicle for his message, kickstarting his recording career in 1995 with a release through the Zagalou label, he then teamed up with "Bobby Digital" Dixon for a series of singles. Extensive touring with fellow roots and culture artist Luciano followed, earning Sizzla notability.
Jah Cure, or Iyah Cure (born Siccature Alcock on 11 October 1978 in Hanover, Jamaica) is a Jamaican reggae musician, who was raised in Kingston. He was given the name Jah Cure by Capleton whom he met while growing up in Kingston.[citation needed]
His first big break came in March 1997 when he released the single "King in this Jungle" which was a duet with Sizzla. The single was produced by Beres Hammond who went on to become his mentor. He then released a steady stream of singles that won him critical and popular acclaim.Beres Hammond eventually took Cure under his tutelage and began mentoring him and producing his music in the studio. In 1998, Cure performed on a European tour and visited several Caribbean Islands with Beres Hammond and the Harmony House Family.
In November 1998, while driving around Montego Bay, Cure was pulled over by the police and arrested on charges of gun possession, robbery and rape. He was prosecuted before the Gun Court in April 1999, found guilty and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Cure was transferred from the St. Catherine Adult Correctional Centre to the Tower Street Adult Correctional Centre, which had a digital recording studio the inmates could use. It was there that Cure released three albums and a number of singles, some of which have topped the Jamaican chart. His first album Free Jah's Cure The Album the Truth was released in 2000, it was followed by Ghetto Life in 2003 and Freedom Blues in 2005. More recently Cure has released the songs "Love Is", "Longing For" and "True Reflections", showing his unique voice and lyrical ability.

So long we a burn them fire
Some a them waan bring down themselves inna slavery

Chorus:
What does it worth, without love ?
Put away your distrust and your grudge
Words without work is not enough
And everyday you make a pull, the journey get rough
What is this world without love ?
Put away your distrust and your grudge
Words without work is not enough
And everyday you make a try the journey get tough
Verse 1:
You remember when you trodding through the valleys of the region ?
Jumping the follies, all the doubts and confusions
Giving obstacles, so many trouble you buck up on
Things a go the other way
When a never so you set your plan
Words of the wicked is pollution
Caan bring no stress nor no strain inna Zion
Emperor Selassie is the only foundation
Only Emmanuel relieve the frustration
You want to be free from the corruption
Me tell you such is life from the creation
Only Marcus Garvey show the situation
I only chant fi repatriation
Chorus
Verse 2:
From the things in life you can't walk away
Whatsoever it brings, it will have to stay
According to your words, a double death you pay
Keep the smile on your face, make it an easy day
Me know them weak, so them gone astray
Wolf amongst the sheep, them deh deh same way
See me and a creep fi make a better way
One man fly the seal, a King Selassie I me sey
Some a them a sleep, even before them pray
Getting it right a come a lion bay
Through un-devine only if you stay
In a the right line, you see the right way
Selassie will be blazing I praise him
Remember that is blackness me still a say
Chorus
Verse 3:
There is no sense in turning back
Get right by your friend, whether you are a idiot

No distrust nor envy must be in here

Your soul I forever bless, this is it togetherness
Found it interest you that it going on forever yes
What's the marketing look at who they're targeting
I've been out there in the streets performing
We're obsess about the music and them warning
One day one day Babylon they will be falling
We've been enduring for a night but joy come in the morning
I buss the window find my curtains sun shining on
Birds in the garden children playin in the lawn
Love that's what we need stop all the war
Listen to the music as you go you gonna reach far
I know that you're a star

There you go turning yuh back not even saying thanks
Brutish fool no they don't stand a chance
Don't forget where yuh comin from I only tell you once
Ignorance of the earth might cause your anxiety
Not for silver nor gold don't turn on humanity
All things shall fade as long as its vanity
No, I'm not telling you no profanity
Store up your riches in Zion
That way they just can't be rust or gather dust like no iron
Hail up the Conquering Lion, most high Jah
You're the only one we can rely on

(As for those) in the basement
(Marijuanas) the medicine
(And those) on the pavement
(Burning down the false) government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says hes got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
Its something you did
(Jah) knows when
But youre doin it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten
Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phones tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D.A.
Look out kid
Dont matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Dont try No Doz
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch (those) plain clothes
You dont need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows
(You) get sick, (then) get well
Hang around an ink well
(Things fell), hard to tell
If anything is goin to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write Braille
Get jailed, jump bail
(Dont stop, you dont) fail
Look out kid
Youre gonna get hit
By users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin for a new fool
Dont follow leaders
Watch the parkin meters
Ah get born, keep warm
(Girls come) learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her (to please me)
Dont steal, dont (shop) lift
Twenty years of schoolin
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
(You come out from the dark zone)
Light yourself a (fire torch)
Wear (your) sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Dont wanna be a bum
(Get yourself a gun)
The pump dont work
Ah, just like in the older days
Chop off the pagan head and let it roll away
Listen to what I got to say
Praise the King every day

People trying to reach, ain't gettin no where
Children dying, parents shedding tears
Bloodshed in the street
Oh gosh, I don't wanna see it
Babies got nothing to eat
People got no place to sleep
No clothes splinters in their feet
Those with the power still got shot coming
Raising taxes 'stroying our economy

Oh, ooh, I'm missing you, girl
I'm missing you
Dry cry, even tears
Even my heart cries, but who cares
Whose fault? No one but myself
Things do happen words can't explain
Beyond the human reasoning, joy mixed with pain
People would spend time just for us to separate
They don't want to see us reach nowhere
Oh girl, and you know I care
Why does it have to be this way?
Can't tell you go, can't tell you to stay
Just one of those days, just one of those days
Am I too humble or ignorant?
Things begun to fade, nothing seems important
Oh, my girl has left me and gone
Just don't want to see her in another arm
The essence of her beauty and her charm
The perfume still linger, oh damn
Remember girl, where we coming from, oh
I'm the one to whom you belong, whoa yeah
Girl, you keep me strong
You and you alone, no other one
Why does it have to be this way?
Can't tell you to go, can't tell you to stay
Just one of those days, just one of those days
It's looking to see her at my gate
Listening to hear the phone rings by the fire place
Now, somewhere out there is my girl
Now, where can I find her in this world?
Still not gonna break down nor be sad
Even though I'm stressed out, fed up and feeling mad
I just can't do without her, oh Jah
Still a man got to try
Why does it have to be this way?
Can't tell her to go, can't tell her to stay
Just one of those days, just one of those days
Is this happening for real?
Only if you know the vibes what I feel
Still trying to do my best and I still won't lose my interest
My girl, I love you so, really hate to see you go
Why does it have to be this way?
Can't tell you go, can't tell you stay
Just one of those days, just one of those days
Dry cry, even tears
Even my heart cries but who cares
Whose fault? No one but myself
Things do happen words can't explain
Beyond the human reasoning, joy mixed with pain
People would spend time just for us to separate
Oh, they don't want for us to reach nowhere
Oh girl, you know I care
Oh, why does it have to be this way?
Can't tell her go, can't tell her to stay, oh

When I say live in love that's the truth
Remember Moses' law eye for eye tooth for tooth
How you fi have your own child yet destroy another youth
Bongo man me tell you righteousness is the root
Love another as you love thy self
No war no strife don't you hurt thy self
Just be conscious and search thy self
Burn the fire and purge thy self (what I ask)
CHORUS
Why can't people live in love and stop from fighting
(love love love) ahh ahhh oooh

That's the greatest thing yah ah ah ah (what I ask)

When are people gonna live in love and stop from fighting

Verse 1 When I'm cruising through,moving through
I consider the little children need new clothes and shoes
I consider the little children need education and food
'Cause I've got the strength,and l've got the vibes
I've got my children and my beautiful wife
Life is for love,life is for living
The blessing from above is so much,l keep giving
They can't keep a gooda man down
Always keep a smile when they want me to frowns
Keep the vibes and they stood my grounds
They will never ever take my crown
Who Jah bless I say no man curse
Things gettin' better when they thought it would be worse
Here comes the officers askin' for a search
They found no weapon just only a draw of herbs
'Cause I'm so solid as a rock, they just can't stop me now
Even when they set their traps, they just can't stop me now
People will say this and that, they just can't stop me now
Even when they set up road blocks, they just can't stop me now
When they come with their evilest thoughts
I just listen whenever they talk
Jah is the light into my dark
He cut and tear my path
They fight without a cause
Tryin' to make my life so hard
The King of kings and the Lord of Lords
Give it all rewards
I'm so solid as a rock, they just can't stop me now
Even when they set there traps, they just can't stop me now
People will say this and that, they just can't stop me now
Even when they set up road blocks, they just can't stop me now
So don't you mix me up with your dirty games
You're only tryin' to tarnish my name
You're only lookin' for the innocent to blame
When your the ones who issue the guns down the lane
You only cause destruction and frame
But the righteous will lives and [Incomprehensible]
Love is all I got to give and I'm not ashamed
Lookin' towards the future, this lion can't tame
'Cause I'm so solid as a rock and they just can't stop me now
Even when they set there traps, they just can't stop me now
People will say this and that, they just can't stop me now
Even when they set up road blocks, they just can't stop me now
So they can't keep a gooda man down
Always keep a smile when they want me to frowns
Keep the vibes and they stood my grounds
They will never ever take my crown
Who Jah bless I say, "No man curse "
Things gettin' better when they thought it would be worse
Here comes the officers askin' for a search
They found no weapon just a only draw of herbs

Fight against the righteous heart

Teaching the truth they neglect and forsake
taking it for granted whoes mistake

Say I the Nyabinghi will reign forever, oh Lord
Because Jah love is the foundation on which I man stand
And that's why I say
Spread a little love and let Jah blessings go 'round

About you nor me nor the life… of our kids
Keep my guns load you never know, just in case things get frig
Thats just the way I live, yeah! thats me, yeah! as is
Dont come misbehaving, dont take it slight
Behave your self when youre making it right
Dont be a victim of things I do too survive
Cause I wont wish you any good- you Babylonians
Disrespect coming out their mouth (oooh)
Now you get me mad- I shove it down your throat
You know, I burn babylon, wi aint got nothing in common
Bold and tell them that them
Trap done stand cold
Them fighting for silver and gold, yo
Rastafari black sheep inna fold, yo
Love and that nah put away any frown
What goes around comes forward around
I couldn't freak, couldn't frolic
We bun the circus clown
Chi, chi, man could never sit on Rastaman throne
Char them with words fire and sound
Pon the wicked heart, we deh go dash brimstone
If you say you love, love must already at your home
Or else you must be an alien from not around
The bloody man is very deceitful to his own
Inna the red sea pharaoh and his squad, he, them drown
Pharaoh watch him pretty city going down, ay
Who, a who run the zone, hey
Aznaldo, Aznaldo
Rasta plea the ghetto youth cause
Well then Aznaldo, Aznaldo, yea
If you love and love is your reward
Then again black people uno fi stop shed uno blood
Live inna unity, yea, come we say blessed love
From wence I came so from then I was
Uno lift the ghetto youth them out of the mud
Mi foot it, clean it, nah want not a scrub
Woman gone ah stream, she ah fire bun the tub, oy
Yo, tell me who that you they rob
That's why you so malicious, you deh hate and you deh grudge
Babylon so slippery like the soap and the sud
Babylon city full, ah, wire it bug, yah
Jah, bless the warrior because them nah fi budge

Warrior nation could never be defile
Black people govern the earth and stop run down the guile
Yes, ghetto girls school's girl them ah smile

Hail to the High owner of Iration and his Imperial Majesty
Emperor Haile Selassie I

Chorus

Come along let's unite and shake Babylon asunder
Sizzla:
We give thanks for the bringing forth of I
Good and responsible thought.
Praise Jah all your life long, oh yeh
With this doing righteousness
No one could ever go lost
Yet we all know
And receive the soul, it shall be given
It is for I and I to go and ask
Never give your energy unto the evilous practices
This is an impartial rite
Luciano:
Rise up
Jah gave us this world for us to live and unite
So whether if you're black or if you're yellow or white
One Jah, one God, one aim, one destiny
Clean up your heart and soul
Set your spirit free
Sizzla:
Speaking of righteousness
As the river flow the chant
One love black people
That is the way to rid the fault
Not until the very cripple feelings of the heart
They won't know good words they want
They search for a place of peace to place good thoughts
Blessed unto the blessing of the strenght to shift the dark yow
Over life will forever reign, yow
All trial and crosses me have to pass
Well then again

CHORUS
Freedom cry,
Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea
Black man rise, too long you dey under disguise
Up with Jah palaces
Freedom cry,
Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea
Black woman rise, too long you've been under your disguise
So long in affliction, the Conquering Lion shall help
And everyday the robbers of the people,
keep on exhalting themselves
Yo, why y'all so greedy? Robbing from the needy,
Hey ey ey where is the poor man's wealth?
No this isn't easy, would you believe me?
Babylon is messing up your wealth
They form the reason, we have been prisoned
Youths let your voices be heard
Yo, and every season them target Black people
To kill the innocent they have the nerve
Up with Jah palaces
CHORUS
Freedom cry,
Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea
Black man rise, too long you dey inna your disguise
Up with Jah palaces
Freedom cry,
Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea
Black man rise, too long you dey inna disguise
No more suffering, we ah go home
No more rustling, to the throne
To ease all ah the pain we afi chant fi go home
Release the mental chain from down inna Rome
Nuttin you ah gain and every day you ah moan
No strain to give us the honey from the comb
More and more rain pouring down
Hardcore warrior tell me how me sound
Inflation ah crush ya just like bomb
Fluctuation ah rush you outta dem town
Come we go ah Africa and lef dem alone
Most you slayed why is it you crave for more
Tell them this
CHORUS
Well ah Freedom cry,
Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea
Black woman rise, salvation never come inna disguise
Up with Jah palaces
Freedom cry,
Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea
Black woman rise, salvation never come inna disguise
Well, I receive the blessing of the morning
From afar I hear Ethiopia calling
Tell them fi, give I the knowledge of the King
The power of the Trinity always lie within
Ah innocent slave down inna the west
From Africa them tek we that make me vex
Pon them slave ship ah black man full every deck
And down inna the west me nah go flow no flap with ex, yo
CHORUS
Ey Freedom cry,

Tell you do good that's there is to life

When you flatter, you dem with the flattering tongue
The enemies mob the heathens come inna gang

Years of servility, tears drop like bombs
Night and day, never free without dawn
Check life, well, a pure slavery deh gwaan
So mi come fi tell the people that the child was born

Strike to the devil with the education
Proper, literate, to uplift the nation

Home and away, home and away

Rasta man, nah, tell the ghetto youths them survive
Here the youths them crying
They were being pushed aside
Only the best was proof enough to pulverize
The hopes, the understanding that we still nah go slide
Children come together, Rasta Far, I deh rise
Better fly we together, I survive
People of the color must always be wise
From the depth of the valley up onto the sky
Even to be lucky police stop all the crimes
We nuh, want nuh, confusion round Rasta Far I
We bun the anxiety courageously smile, yow
Babylon we know you profile
It's getting red now
Oh mamma, yeh, oh mamma, yeh

Tell you be good and open up all your eyes
Oh, oh, surely the omnipotent
Yours truly, how Ras recommend
Tell Selassie King from the Ishent
Let the power of the empress guide the resident
Oh, the people from the south shall deal
With another, nah tell yu no doubt
Commune with the western praises and shout
The eastern marching thy route

Oh mamma, yeh, oh mamma, yeh

Well, I say bless the man that reveal all the truth you know
Unto this generation
Those with them eye and has never over-stand
Chorus:
Oh children, Babylon build them cities
And break their own laws
So long you've been amongst them
Yet they didn't teach you that the fools get caught
So take us to the place where
Justice embedded in our heart, truly ours
Etiopia he was born there
Emperor Selassie I they all fail to adore
Verse 1:
Oh judgement
We the people must be true to ourself
Stoop to brutality, you perish and melt
Aware them have fi hide
What make them don't want fi help ?
The children going idly having no strength
Our duty is to teach
So you make it frequent
You no beat upon your shoulders
Here come the judgement
Can not be going that way
Killing yourself, what's the sense ?
Them young, tell them get the teaching from the high sense
Chorus
Verse 2:
Firing guns becomes disobedient
They know not from whence they came, so they rebel against
Babylon set it so, building them bridges and fence
That they may support them so-called government
Them instigate the downfall of Jah righteous children
Remind them that slavery was not an accident
In return they kill my brothers and my parents
Repatriation, bless how give them all the strength
Africa we deh come, so me hear the high sense
Mother Nature made us in the natural essence
Emperor Selassie I him rule all events
We don't care if them intelligence
Oh now
Chorus
Verse 3:
I and I have the foundation of the earth
Never been thirst
Black people
Now I tell you to stand
While you cease to be

Oh yes, all wicked man down on their knees
But now

If unu mek the devil rule you that mean you heart weak
That simple mean a never Jah unu a seek
Stop an' check ya journey 'pon the wrong street
You're cutting back on your nation before you multiply
Can you give me a reason why you want ye brother die
Is your heart so dirty that love you deny
You aim for the head that sey you shoot to bullseye
Your time a go come but you have to answer why
You have to face the lord that's where you get your big trial
I wonder why we cannot give love a bly
You have no pity for the flesh none for you and you a cry, 'member

You guys don't think ahead, only for a moment
quick to kill if involve in an argument
Thou shall not kill, do you know what that meant

Prepare to face the lord is some good comments

Now we touch the next side we dash away the faith
No one to oppose the rules Jah Jah make
Ye dis the almighty if a ye brether like ye take
You cross the lord boundary but you can't escape
Murderer
(chorus)
I respect the man who comes to get his daily bread
but not for the man who come to lick his brother head
We should help one another each others we should fed but no

Killing we one annether a no so love to show
When we kill we one annether which part we a go wh

Intro:
Go away man cause we no love pagan
Remember that, Blessed.
When ever you take part in the up-rising of the black child
When them see we face them a run come smile.
Well red, soil them get soil, soil them get soil.
Chorus:
As Emperor Selassie I was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
Be glorious in your powers while I sing
To his own Devine Majesty.
As Jah was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
Be glorious inna your powers while I sing
To the whole ghetto community.
Verse 1:
Nuff a them a look fi Selassie
Yet them greedy fi wealth
Make me tell you
You can not be looking out of yourself
How close are you to Zion ?
Inna Emmanuel Tabernacle have you ever knelt ?
Confuse not your heart
Power from the source
Black child of the Zion is of the eastern coast.
What life has taught me is to love and not to boast
Nuh teach the youth them bout no damn holy ghost
Chorus
Verse 2:
Me haffi holla out
I and I and I are the Royal son of King David
So Babylon why you try to deny
The ghetto youths loyal knowledge ?
Red, gold and green with the black five point star
Banners shall flow inna every village
Me tell them sey repatriation no deh far
Get yourself ready and come we go pon Babylon bridge
When money caan do it and there is no food to eat
For me nah go tell the street how them a bawl and a weep
A them a call fi peace but grap and a run with all of the wheat
But Bob hill them soon caan see it
Chorus
Verse 3:

I'm the one to whom you belong oh yea
Girl you keep me sprung,
you and you alone no other one
why does it have to be this way,
cant tell you to go, cant tell you to stay
just one of those days, just one of those days
keep looking to see her at my gate
listening to hear the phone ring by the fire place
now somewhere out there is my girl
now where can I find her in this world
still not gonna break down nor be sad
even though I'm stressed out,
fed up and feeling mad
I just can't do without her,
Oh Jah, still a man got to try
Why does it have to be this way,
can't tell her go can't tell her to stay,
just one of those days just one of those days
Is this happening for real,
only if you know the vibes what I feel
still trying to do my best,
and i still won't lose my interest
my girl i love you so,
really hurt to see you go
Why does it have to be this way,
cant tell you go cant tell you stay,
just one of those days, just one of those days
Dry cry even tells
even my heart cries but who cares
who's fault no one but myself
things do happen words can't explain
beyond the human reasoning, joy mixed with pain
people would spend time just for us to separate
Oh they dont want for us reach nowhere
oh girl, and you know I care
Why does it have to be this way
can't tell her to go can't tell her to stay

Bodies lay cold as gunmen strike bold
And di wicked people work is taking off
COUPLET 1
I'm not afraid to die but fraid to live until death
It's not hard for you to guess what will happen next
Heartaches and pain, works of ungodliness
Some nuh know why dem a live that's why dem have to
hurt di flesh
But who are they ? Tell me what they represent
I struggle wid fear as I experience
How dem do dem dirty works to which I resent
And no one but dem ago face di consequence
They build walls instead of bridges, it ridicule
Then war wid whom they live like a fool
But if I trod di wrong road away a want to pull
Because di vessel of di iniquity neva yet full - cho

Many life was lost who is di next victim
