Star Vybz: Yea dat good man…suh yuh get fi experience di artiste first-hand?
FIRE 76.1FM: .eehi…yea man…and ah wah tell yuh to…it create a vibration dat  provide I an Eye wid di confirmation of di thoughts weh I did medz wen I pree di song…”is dis man a good and righteous man and true to him words weh him sing and does he hold any sort of discipline and order weh a guh keep him firm and solid suh dat nuh matta wah, him cyah crumble inna Babylon under Babylon effects and side-effects“….yuh sights?

Star Vybz: Irie. Suh which part of di song resonate wid yuh di most?
FIRE 76.1FM: Di whole a di song resonate wid I an Eye man…Nuh one part nuh stand out to be honest, in fact, multiple parts jump up inna di focus right throughout di song. Firstly, di intro kick start di song wid a high level of conscious awareness and as one who embrace the labels, lioness empress and is in constant motion wid di Most High, mi particularly like;
“Sing praises to the Most High
All rastaman all empress
All lion and lioness

Now wi cyah guh quote di whole a di song cause nuff lyrics up inna it and people attention span is challenging dese days suh mek mi just reference dem few lines yah suh and yuh sip dat cause dat alone can full up spiritual belly. Ketch di bloodclawt energy inna di chorous:
“…Shub up yuh hand
From yuh know
Yuh a roots rasta man
Roots lioness from Jah creation
Naa bow dung to Babylon
Dutty plan…”

And den ketch dem lines yah inna verse 1
“…But dem cyaa get mi out inna nuh corruption
Because rastaman nuh inna nuh bangahrong
Naa bow dung and wi nuh guh reform
Naa bow dung and wi naa tek part
Naa tek part inna dem election…

Fya bloodclawwt darts dem deh enuh Star Vybz, wid some strong energy. Nuff a dem out deh weh a sing some lyrics pon di reggae & dancehall beat nah sing nutten weh dem a live ah raasclawt enuh…bere false impressions dem a create weh, if yuh put dem to di test dem fail di very bumboclawt exam weh dem set fi demself all wen dem copy….cause dem live a lie whilst singing truth sounding words suh dem can mek ah hit…and we can spot dem inna dem lyrics and know dem vibration from mile and distance but wi nah judge nuh body cause a fi dem ting dat and ongle dem can really judge demself fi betta demself. But anyway, so wen mi hear lines like, “…Righteousness inna mi meditation…”, “…Conscious meds bring sanity…” and “…Solid as a rock dem coulda neva move us…”, dem words deh bring to focus personal standards  (weh you know from experience) that vibrates wid certain mindset and yuh know seh if words and actions nuh match up den dat man or woman off-balance…suh anybody weh a sing dem type a chuun yah certain way, mind haffi deh pon a certain ites or looking to get dere otherwise dem just pretending to be dere….yuh sight?
