Biography

Miguel Collins a.k.a. Sizzla Kalonji, a Bobo Ashanti dread Born 17.4.1976 in August Town/Kingston, Jamaica, made his first musical steps as a singer for Caveman Hi-Fi. His energetic singjay-style and spiritual lyrics earned him enthusiastic acclaim already with his 1995 debut album "Burning Up", while the 1997 follow-up "Black Woman & Child" was an international breakthrough, which brought Sizzla the 1998 MOBO award and a place in various magazines' top 100 albums of the year. At that time, Sizzla was part of the Phillip Burrel's XTerminator stable, touring with Luciano and other artist of the new roots&culture wave. Sizzla is very prolific, even by Jamaican standards. Since 1995, he released over 30 albums and most likely over 400 singles. With such an enormous output, fans often complain about the mediocricity of many of the material, yet Sizzla again and again manages to surprise his listeners with a quality album after a few mediocre ones. Especially after 2000, Sizzla aroused controversy with his lyrics in several ways. First, European listeners and gay-right organisations take offence at his partly homophobic lyrics. Second, Sizzla's explicit description of sexual issues in some of his tunes, as well as his reportedly extravagant lifestyle, led to a break-up not only with his Rastafarian ex-colleagues like Luciano, but also with the Bobo Ashanti order, whose elders repeatedly distanced themselves from Sizzla's music and lifestyle, while the later still considers himself a Bobo Ashanti member. Despite all the controversies, Sizzla remains a major figure in Jamaican music, and his throaty singing style became a trademark for a whole new generation of militant rastafarian singers and deejays.

LYRICS

Oh oh ey oooh oooh
Aye Aye Aye Aye
They can't keep a good man down
always keep a smile when they want me to frown
Keep the vibes and I stood my grounds
They will never ever take my crown
Who Jah bless I say no man curse
things get better when they thought it would be worst
Here comes the officer asking for ah search
They found no weapons just only a draw first

CHORUS
Cuz I'm so solid as a rock
they just can't stop me now
Even when they set their traps
they just can't stop me now
People will say this and that
they just can't stop me now
Even when they set up road blocks
they just can't stop me now

When they come with their evilous thoughts
I just listen whenever they talk
Jah is the light into my dark
He cut and clear all my path
They fight me without a cause
trying to make my life so hard
The king of Kings and the Lord of lords
Giveth all reward

CHORUS
So solid as a rock
they just can't stop me now
Even when they set their traps
they just can't stop me now
People will say this and that
they just can't stop me now
Even when they set up road blocks
they just can't stop me now

So don't you mix me up in your dirty game
You're only trying to tarnish my name
You're only looking for the innocent to blame
When you're the ones who issue the guns down the lane
You only cause destruction and pain
but the righteous will live and reign
Love is all I've got to give and I'm not ashamed
lookin toward the future this lion can't tame

CHORUS
Cuz I'm so solid as a rock
they just can't stop me now
Even when they set their traps
they just can't stop me now
People will say this and that
they just can't stop me now
Even when they set up road blocks
they just can't stop me now

So they can't keep a good man down
always keep a smile when they want me to frown
Keep the vibes and I stood my grounds
They will never ever take my crown
Who Jah bless I say no man curse
things get better when they thought it would be worst
Here comes the officer asking for ah search
They found no weapons just only a draw first

Solid as a rock
they just can't stop me now
Even when they set their traps
...
