Militancy Lyrics


Daweh Congo – Militancy
**[Chorus]**
I say practice the militancy, oh yeah
Instead of just chatting away, oh yeah
'Cause only Binghi warriors we recruiting in JAH army, oh yeah
Practice the love and ninety, oh yeah
Don't be no stumbling block in the way, oh yeah
We must observe the commandments of Haile Selassie I, I say, oh yeah
**[Verse 1]**
Now watch this impressionist
False pretence, foolishness
The eyes of JAH are everywhere, so you prepare

Now cover your mouth and drop the lip service
Words of a fool is his destruction, don't believe her promise
**[Chorus]**
Only practice the militancy, oh yeah
Instead of just chatting away, oh yeah
'Cause only Binghi warriors we recruiting in JAH army, oh yeah
Now practice the love and ninety, oh yeah
Don't be no stumbling block in the way, oh yeah
We must observe the commandments of Haile Selassie I, I say
**[Verse 2]**
Betrayal is among the two of us, some a wolf and some a fox
But you cannot accuse another
That's a good you can try, never do to transgress
Never see your brother's faults if your life is in a mess
Come on and...
**[Chorus]**
Practice the militancy, oh yeah
Instead of just chatting away, oh yeah
Only Binghi warriors we recruiting in JAH army, oh yeah
Practice the love and ninety, oh yeah
Don't be no stumbling block in the way, oh yeah
We must observe the commandments of Haile Selassie I, I say, oh yeah
**[Verse 3]**
Now watch out now impostor
You see, JAH pollution shall never enter
The kingdom of JAH is near, so you beware
'Cause JAH is judging and He knows every heart
Hypocrites will be dismissed, 'cause JAH shall say depart
**[Chorus]**
Come practice the militancy, oh yeah
Instead of just chatting away, oh yeah
'Cause only Binghi warriors we recruiting in JAH army, oh yeah
Practice the love and ninety, oh yeah
Don't be no stumbling block in the way, oh yeah
We must observe the commandments of Haile Selassie I, I say, oh yeah
**[Verse 4]**
Now I say stand at attention, sir
I ask you a question, give me an answer
Are you genuine or are you a traitor?
Why did you sell your little sister to the stranger?
Shouldn't give away your bigger brother
**[Chorus / Outro]**
Oh, practice the militancy, oh yeah
Instead of just chatting away
'Cause only Binghi warriors we recruiting in JAH army, oh yeah
Now practice the love and ninety, oh yeah
Don't be no stumbling block in the way, oh yeah
We must observe the commandments of Haile Selassie I, I say, oh yeah

Rohan "Daweh Congo" Graham – birthplace Kingston, Jamaica. His father, Leo Graham was the lead vocalist with the Bleechers and recorded songs for producers Joe Gibbs and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry. Daweh's main inspiration came from his reading of the book “Marcus Garvey’s Children”. Da – Weh – Congo means ‘Congo loved one...”

Daweh recorded his first song for legendary Alton Ellis and later recorded for Stewart Brown and Andrew Nash. Barry O'Hare produced his astonishing debut album Militancy (Runn Records- Holland). The teachings of Marcus Garvey are featured heavily on "Militancy" which went over well amongst Rastafarians and conscious roots enthusiasts.

Daweh Congo then propelled himself to the forefront of conscious roots reggae with his second album "Human Rights & Justice" (Roots and Culture Records- N.C.). Daweh’s mesmerizing voice catapulted “Human Rights and Justice” to the number one position on ireggae's top ten reggae albums for the month of May 2000.

Vocally and lyrically Daweh Congo made such an impression that many Reggae fans regarded him as one of the most promising new singers. In 1999 Jet Star Records U.K. released his third album "Guidance" (Jet Star /Charm- U.K.), recorded at Jet Star's "Cave Studios" in London. The release of “Guidance” immediately shot to number one position on ireggae's top ten reggae albums for the month of September 2000.

Next up was JAH CHILDREN a 14 song album recorded at the legendary Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston, Jamaica for producer Andrew ‘Super’ Nash of SuperVibez Production featuring the likes of some of Reggae music’s most accomplished musicians, Franklyn ‘Bubbler’ Waul - keyboards, Chris Meredith – Bass, Wilburn ‘Suiddley’ Cole – Drums and percussions, Earl ‘Chinna’ Smith – Guitar and Dean Fraser on Sax.

Daweh has performed in Europe and also did a short three state tour of the United States and several performances in Trinidad and his native Jamaica and in Sweden. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
