Oh, Jah. I Want To Be Positive

Oh Jah, I want to be positive 

I don't want to be negative 

Oh sweet Jah, I want to be positive 

I don't want to be negative 

But I have seen the white man, he hunt us down

I have seen my people run

So many black man brought to ground

From many white man gun 

I ask you Jah, I need to know

Why we live in fear?

Did not creation born this man?

Did not Jah bring us here?

Oh Jah, I want to be positive 

I don't want to be negative 

Oh Jah, I want to be positive 

I don't want to be negative 

But i have seen the fear in black man eyes 

I have known much of his pain

I have stood my ground so many times

But knocked down i again 

Yet you are here, you with me always

I keep you here within 

Where white man cannot find you then

As he not touch my skin 

Oh Jah, I want to be positive 

I don't want to be negative 

Oh Jah, I want to be positive 

I don't want to be negative 

You gave us herb that grows from earth

Yet white man criticize 

He make it bad yet his tobacco 

He does legalize 

We born his slave, we never free

We taken from our home 

Without you Jah, i ask of this

Would i not be alone?

Oh Jah, I want to be positive 

I don't want to be negative 

Oh sweet Jah, I want to be positive 

I don't want to be negative
