Cyaan Dam Forever - Lyrics

[Intro]
Satoshi... Satoshi seh...
Two road from Genesis... but only one a di way...

[Verse 1]
I man stand 'pon di riverbank
Watch Babylon build him wall
Him cap di flow, him tek him rank
Him seh di river haffi crawl
Him tek di name but block di stream
Him charge a toll 'pon every dream
But water patient, water wise
Behind di wall di water rise

[Chorus]
Oh, di river cyaan dam forever
Water haffi find di sea
Dem block it up, but it nah stop, never
Cash gwaan run free... cash gwaan run free
Bitcoin blaze like burning spear
Satoshi vision, crystal clear

[Verse 2]
Market woman sell her yam and corn
Get her satoshi 'fore di break of dawn
Fisherman haul him net from sea
Him payment settle, no banker fee
From Kingston town to Accra shore
Di poor man money reach him door
No suit, no stamp, no middle man
Just hand to hand, alla cross di land

[Half Chorus]
Bitcoin blaze like burning spear
Satoshi vision, crystal clear

[Bridge]
Hear me now!
Two road run from Genesis block
One road wander, one road rock
Dem keep di ticker, dem keep di fame
But I and I keep di living flame
Dem build dem dam wid fear and pride
But pressure grow 'pon di other side
Crack inna concrete, watch it spread
Di river soon run over dem head!

[Dub Breakdown]
Water rise... rise... rise...
...cyaan dam forever... ever... ever...

[Verse 3]
When di road get jam and bring no peace
And di fee dem climb and never cease
Di righteous man wid di paper pure
Gwaan walk through fire, clean and sure
No gatekeeper, no beggin' hand
Di rule dem plant like tree inna land
Roots run deeper than Babylon wall
Di river rise, di dam gwaan fall

[Final Chorus]
Oh, di river cyaan dam forever
Water haffi find di sea
Dem block it up, but it nah stop, never
Cash gwaan run free... cash gwaan run free
Bitcoin blaze like burning spear
Satoshi vision, crystal clear

[Outro]
Di stone weh dem refuse... become di corner...
Di water reach di sea...
Irie...
