The Inner Exodus
[Intro] (One love, one heart) The frequency of the soul remains unchanged [Deep dub bass enters] Listen to the drum, listen to the blood [Verse 1] Searching maps for a kingdom built within the chest The Tuff Gong vibrates in the marrow of bones From the Trenchtown dust to the world stage light Robert Nesta's fire keeps the spirit burning bright It is not a destination found by crossing borders True exodus starts when the mind breaks its chains I walk through the heat of the pavement chanting The rhythm of the heart mimics the kick drum This movement is ancient, older than the alphabet We are seeds scattered, waiting for the righteous rain Build a temple where no thief can enter Manifest the logic of the lions in the valley [Chorus] Zion is the silence inside the heavy thunder (Find it within) One Love is the gravity holding us together (Hold it close) The spirit moves through the crowd like wind No wall can contain the freedom we carry (One Love, One Heart) [Verse 2] History is a river flowing back to the source Pan-African roots stretching deep beneath the asphalt Red, gold, and green in the fabric of the struggle The rhythm of the islands breaking every bubble We are more than statistics on a paper ledger We are stars orbiting a central point of peace The struggle is physical but the victory is spirit Read the scriptures written on the faces of elders Velocity of truth moving faster than the bullet Every footstep is a prayer for the collective The philosophy of the Gong lives in our breath Reject the hollow noise of the market square [Chorus] Zion is the silence inside the heavy thunder (Find it within) One Love is the gravity holding us together (Hold it close) The spirit moves through the crowd like wind No wall can contain the freedom we carry (One Love, One Heart) [Bridge] [Drum break with rhythmic Hammond organ stabs] Militant mind, soul soft as the morning sun Rise against the weight of the low expectations Internal revolution is the only path to the gate (Open the gate) (Let us through) [Chorus] Zion is the silence inside the heavy thunder (Find it within) One Love is the gravity holding us together (Hold it close) The spirit moves through the crowd like wind No wall can contain the freedom we carry (One Love, One Heart) [Outro] Rotate the spirit until it shines clearly The exodus is internal, the destination is now Tuff Gong energy forever in the vibration (One Love) (One Heart)
