THE STORY

Code means a rule to live by as much as a language of machines. The song places its loyalty with Jah, truth and love rather than contracts shaped by greed or crowns worn for display. Digital sparks and courtroom images meet the vocabulary of roots resistance. Calling the singers soldiers gives that loyalty discipline, while naming love as a shield keeps its moral centre visible. The plastic king is an authority that looks impressive but offers little worth following. What cannot be sold is the inner commitment to walk cleanly, judge power and refuse a place on a road that betrays those values.

Lyrics Read the full words
We are soldiers in Jah code
We nah walk fi Babylon road
We stand firm in di overload
Wi spirit cyan be sold

We are soldiers in Jah code
We nah walk fi Babylon road
We stand firm in di overload
Wi spirit cyan be sold

Tell dem Lawya back in di chair
Talk truth loud, we nah play fair
Cipher lock, brain full a spark
Dem system dim, but we bring dark

Bassline run like digital fire
Judge inna court, but Jah is higher
Dem tek oath pon fraud and gold
Wi tek stand pon story told

Truth a di weapon, love a di shield
Praise di Most High, never yield
Dem cyan break what Jah reveal
Dem write contract, but we seal

Put no crown pon plastic king
Sing no song fi dem bling-bling
Rasta rise wid drum and string
Rebel soul still conquering

Truth a di weapon, love a di shield
Praise di Most High, never yield
Dem cyan break what Jah reveal
Dem write contract, but we seal

Put no crown pon plastic king
Sing no song fi dem bling-bling
Rasta rise wid drum and string
Rebel soul still conquering

We are soldiers in Jah code
We nah walk fi Babylon road
We stand firm in di overload
Wi spirit cyan be sold

We are soldiers in Jah code
We nah walk fi Babylon road
We stand firm in di overload
Wi spirit cyan be sold

One code, one fire, one Jah voice
Stand firm, walk clean, rise wise
