Taking Over Lyrics


Seh wah, mi juss seh bun Babylon but mi nuh care
I ain't giving up, keep on living up, I'm indigenous
Holy Emmanuel I King Selassie Jah Rastafari
Him live and reign in di heart of all flesh
Di conquering lion crown King of Kings
Lord of Lords wid him lioness, so hear mi no?
Repatriation is a must to Ethiopia, Africa
Rastaman wi taking over and we've got nothing to fear
Wi taking over righteousness mi declare
Wi taking over and we've got nothing to fear
Come on, come on mek mi see your hands in di air
Yo cause a full time now let the trumpet sound
A full time now Babylon going down
A full time now mek di youth dem wear di crown
Yo inna di country and di town
Hungry be fed, naked be clothed
Sick be nourish, aged protected, infants fi cared for
Mi and Babylon nah go par

Tell dem mi and dutty Babylon always a war
Nah go dip mi hand inna nuh punk cookie jar
Police bwoy fi locks but a mar him guh mar
Di soldier bwoy fi locks but a mar him guh mar
Through him and di Pope and di bitch waan go par
Selassie flash di lightening dat mi tell di gun dar
Selassie roll di tunda dat mi tell di gun dar
Dem lost dem ways dem nuh know who dem are
Well, then mi tell yuh your da bright and a morning star
'Nuff a dem a brag 'bout seh dem a toppa nar
King Selassie is di almighty, yaah star
Emmanuel a di Higer Priest, yaah star
Marcus a mi black prophet, yaah star
Di black woman she a mi black mother, yaah star
Selassie blaze him golden chalice when
Castro talk 'bout seh dem a smoke dem cuban cigar
Mi smoke mi marijuana inna mi van or mi car
'Cause a full time now rise di youth from di slum
A full time now mek di fiyah gwan bun
A full time now speak di truth from mi tongue
Dutty Babylon yuh going dung yo yo yow
Rastaman wi taking over and we've got nothing to fear
Wi taking over righteousness mi declare
Wi taking over and we've got nothing to fear
Come on, come on mek mi see your hands in di air
Hear mi nuh hear mi nuh?
Mi nuh trust dem fi a minute nor second
Righteousness a dat mi come fi reckon
Tell dem seh listen wen Selassie beckon
Dem get stubbon through dem start to carry big weapon
Brag 'bout di magnum weh di laser beam deh pon
Man mi shot di bwoy wid a old rusty Smith & Wesson
Couldn't stop di powers weh mi a manifest on
Bun dem out dem cyaan come contest di Rastaman
Rastaman wi taking over and we've got nothing to fear
Wi taking over righteousness mi declare
Wi taking over and we've got nothing to fear
Come on, come on mek mi see your hands in di air
Mi go sight dem pon di show down
Pagan dem get throw down
Too hype run guh tell dem seh fi slow down
Mystery Babylon dem haffi go down
Dem a huff dem a puff mi building dem cyaan blow down

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
“A rock show that gives you a reason to dance,” this is what 7LIONS, the newest band signed to superstar producer RedOne’s label 2101 Records, brings to it’s fans. This Los Angeles based aggregation reveals a potent merger of rock and hiphop like it’s never been done before. The difference between 7LIONS and the pioneers before them is the fusion of the urban hip-hop poetry from their rapper Mika “Prophet” Guillory, the alternative rock influences of their lead singer/guitarist Forrest Fulmer and the electronic/pop/rock production of their keyboardist Morgan Taylor Reid; diverse musical backgrounds that create an explosive, epic sound. A tight knit group, 7LIONS also includes band members Will Carpenter (Lead Guitar/Back-Up Vox), Daniel Hange (Bass) and Tony Tommasi (Drums).

The evolutionary three-year journey of this band began when a mutual friend introduced Prophet and Fulmer at a live performance of Omission, Fulmer, Carpenter and Tommasi’s band at the time. Prophet, who became a regular guest performer in Omission’s live set, vibed so well with the group that they started a new project together called Terra Incognita. The blend of alternative rock with hip hop vocals proved to be a winning combination with nightclub patrons, so Terra Incognita began performing across Los Angeles. Six months into the Terra Incognita project, Fulmer reconnected with longtime friend, songwriter and record producer Morgan Taylor Reid and invited him to become involved as the band’s keyboardist. Reid brought electronic/pop elements to the rock/rap band and he eventually co-wrote and produced a song called “Born To Run” for 7LIONS that would change the direction of the band’s sound forever.
