Lyrics Protect Me - New Kingston feat. The Wailing Souls

Jah, protect me from the evil in the streets
Protect me Jah Jah
Protect me from the robbers and thieves
Oh Jah
I'm begging for some strength
When I get weak
Must beware of the mark ah the beast
Show I the way
Guide me through these evil road blocks
I and I keep the faith
Them can't trim I natty dreadlocks
Say a little prayer for a sunny day
Can't take the sky
When it's so grey
Jah gimme strength so I never go astray
Listen what New Kingston haffi say
Jah, protect me from the evil in the streets
Protect me Jah Jah
Protect me from the robbers and thieves
Oh Jah
I'm begging for some strength
When I get weak
Must beware of the mark ah the beast
Jah, protect me from the evil in the streets
Protect me Jah Jah
Protect me from the robbers and thieves
Oh Jah
I'm begging for some strength
When I get weak
Must beware of the mark ah the beast
Oh Jah gimme the strength so I never go astray
As I trod over these hills
Over mountains and valleys
Please guide me on my way
This is what I pray
At times in life we struggle
But I'm trying to keep the faith
So much going on in this world
That is wrong
We're searching for the answers
To the questions in this song
Jah, protect me from the evil in the streets
Protect me Jah Jah
Protect me from the robbers and thieves
Oh Jah
I'm begging for some strength
When I get weak
Must beware of the mark ah the beast
Jah, protect me from the evil in the streets
Protect me Jah Jah
Protect me from the robbers and thieves
Oh Jah
I'm begging for some strength
When I get weak
Must beware of the mark ah the beast
They try to clip I branches
But them can't kill the roots
Life can be a struggle
So we have to teach the youths
Don't gimme no drugs to juggle
Don't gimme no guns to shoot
Just trust in Jah
And you will find a way
To make it through

The race is for the swift
Chosen are few
Babylon ah ask we question
Like an interview
Because it's in the paper
Do you think that makes it true
Just follow Jah Jah teachings
And you gonna make it through
'Cause
Jah, protect me from the evil in the streets
Protect me Jah Jah
Protect me from the robbers and thieves
Oh Jah
I'm begging for some strength
When I get weak
Must beware of the mark ah the beast
Jah, protect me from the evil in the streets
Protect me Jah Jah
Protect me from the robbers and thieves
Oh Jah
I'm begging for some strength
When I get weak
Must beware of the mark ah the beast
