Buju Banton - Destiny


Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

There was good and evil...
We choose good
Isaiah 7:15 - Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
Why race the time of the most high, you sons of man?  
The rich man's wealth is in the city
Destruction of the poor is his poverty
Proverbs 10:15 - The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
Proverbs 18:11 - The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
Destruction of your soul is vanity
Do you hear?
I and I, I wanna rule my destiny
I and I, I wanna rule my destiny

Destiny, Mama look from when you call me
Destiny, Mama look from when you calling
I wanna rule my destiny
Yeah, yeah, oh help I please
Jah Jah mek mi rule my destiny

I've been blessed I've been touch
I love Jah so much
They keep fighting me I'm not giving up
May the realms of Zion fill my spiritual cup
Wisdom overstanding must never be too much
 
Give I protection day and night
From even the pestilence that walketh at daylight
Psalm 91:5-6 - Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
Destiny, Mama look from when you calling
Destiny, Mama look from when you calling
I wanna rule my destiny
Yeah, oh help I please
Jah Jah mek mi rule my destiny
 
Cast away their cords from us, Lord Psalm 2:3 - Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
You have them in the region in the valley of decision Joel 3:14 - Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
Restraining the heathens with a rod of iron Psalm 2:9 - Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Revelation 2:27 - And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
Revelation 12:5 - And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
Revelation 19:15 - And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
You know not the destiny of a next man
Why hold him, set him free for too long
I, I wanna rule my destiny
I and I really wanna rule my destiny
Hear me call, call, call

Destiny, Mama look from when you calling
Destiny, Mama look from when you calling
I wanna rule my destiny
Oh, hey, help I please
I wanna rule my destiny

My destination is homeward bound
Though forces try hold I down
Breaking chains has become the norm
I know I must get through no matter what a gwan

Destiny, Mama look from when you calling
Destiny, Mama look from when you calling
I wanna rule my destiny
Lord, and I tell you once more

The rich man's wealth is in the city
Destruction of the poor is our poverty
Destruction of our soul is vanity
Do you hear? Do you hear?
Destiny... destiny...
