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

Rastafari is the almighty I
Ever livin ever faithful ever sure
And he shall make foward the lamb
and the lamb shall overcome them
because he is King of kings, Lord of lords
the Conquerin Lion of the tribe of Judah
Yea he is the only king of the sabbath
and the sabbath is only the future
Eya Oy

And now the people shall know
that with Rastafari they shall no longer suffer
Love is all the earth shall replenish for the better
And now the children shall behold
the glory and goodness Rastafai has to offer
Seek ye first the kingdom of Selassi I
and all will be added ya

CHORUS
The whole world shall see ya
The lamb upon his throne
come fi conquer the beast ya ahh
Then shall the people rejoice
in the name of Rastafari and me oya oy
The whole world shall see ya
The lamb upon his throne
come fi conquer the beast yea ey
Then shall the children rejoice
and war afi cease ey

The leaders of the word derived of negligence
began deceiving tha people ohh oy
After getting their anxious desire
they resort to doing evil
Inna ilmannered and ruthless fashion
they keep doing wrong not considering life
With their nuclear ammunition
they destroy every nation and that nah right
Rasta man say

CHORUS
Whole world ago see
The lamb upon his throne
come fi conquer the beast ya ahh
Then shall the people rejoice
in the name of King Selassie and me oya oya
The whole world shall see ya
The lion pon the throne
whey ah loose the seven sea whoa ah woy
Then shall the people shall rejoice
and all war afi cease ey

[Instruments]

Then them neva know
say ah King Selassie rule the heart and the soul
Come listen words
said my sons and my daughters from ah far off
who call by my name and live by my words, ey
Only love can save us, it was love that has made us
fire fi burn Nastrodamus ya
Where is said him anointed,
we come fi damn you mek there hurt ey
He's tha blessed I adore, let Rastafari be crowed
want to behold King Alpha and black Queen Omega
who was sit upon the throne ey
Then I say to myself
let the praises begin now let the trumpet sound
Rastafari name inna the village Babylon go down
Oya oh

CHORUS
Then the whole world shall see ya
The lamb upon his throne
whey ah loose the seven sea ohhh
Then shall the people rejoice
in Selassie and the earth shall be meek
The whole world shall see ya
The lamb upon his throne
Wey ah conquer the beast yea ey
(fading)
