Lyrics:
[Intro: Bob Marley]
They say the sun shines for all
But in some people world, it never shine at all

[Chorus: YG Marley]
These roads of flames are catching on fire
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Showed you I loved you, you called me a liar
Oh, no-no no, no no

[Verse 1: YG Marley]
Baby, tell me where you gone, gone, gone?
I've been fiendin' for your love so long
We can praise Jah in the moonlight
Baby if you with me, better do right
And I've been gone too long
And I'm hoping that you sing my songs (Sing my songs)
I've been on this road for way too long
I've been hoping that we all get along

[Chorus: YG Marley]
These roads of flames are catching on fire
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Showed you I loved you, you called me a liar

[Verse 2: YG Marley]
Give Jah the thanks and praises
I've been on my own, own, own
But we ain't never left alone, 'lone, 'lone
And if I'm tellin' you the feeling is wrong
Relax a little, friend, this won't take too long
And when you're feeling alone
You can call my phone
Is there a better way to go?
Teach them something before they lose their soul
Oh, no-no, no, freedom is the road
Oh, no-no, no, coming in from the cold
Tell them not to sell it, it's worth more than gold
And guiltiness will catch them in the end
Oh yeah, oh yeah
They'll try to manipulate you through your pockets
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Now you're gonna bring the funk with the optic, with the vision
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Trying to control your soul and take control (Oh, no-no, no)
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
No we don't play that game right here to win power
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

[Bridge: YG Marley & Ms. Lauryn Hill]
Give Jah all the thanks and praises
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises)
Give Jah all the thanks and praises
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises)
Won't you give Jah all the thanks and praises
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises)
Give Jah all the thanks and praises
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises)
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises)
Give Jah all the thanks and praises (Oh, ah-ah-ah)
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises)
Give Jah all the thanks and praises
(Give Jah all the thanks and praises)
Oh, woah
Give Jah the thanks, the thanks, the thanks
The thanks, the thanks, the thanks
The thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks
Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks and praises
(Give Jah, thanks and praises)
Give Jah all the thanks and praises

[Outro: Ms. Lauryn Hill]
(Give Jah, thanks and praises)
(Give Jah, thanks and praises)
(Give Jah, thanks and praises)
(Praises)
(Give Him the thanks and the praises)
(Give Him the thanks and the praises)
(Give Him the thanks and the praises)
