The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Praise Jah in the Moonlight" by the artist "YG Marley"

Contents

In "Praise Jah in the Moonlight," YG Marley utilizes the contrast between darkness and light (both literal and metaphorical) to convey a message of hope, faith, and resilience in the face of adversity.

The intro, sampled from Bob Marley, sets the stage by depicting a world where sunlight, a symbol of hope and prosperity, is unevenly distributed. This alludes to the injustices and struggles faced by many.

The chorus delves deeper into this theme, describing "fiery roads" that symbolize life's trials and tribulations. The speaker grapples with betrayal and heartache ("I gave you my love, and you called me a liar"), further emphasizing the harshness of his journey.

Despite these hardships, the song is not devoid of hope. The first verse presents love as a source of solace and strength. YG Marley urges his beloved to join him in praising God ("We can praise Jah in the moonlight"), finding comfort and guidance in faith amidst darkness.

The second verse expands on this theme, stressing the importance of faith ("Give Jah praises and prayers") and resilience ("But we never alone"). He encourages listeners to maintain their faith, even when feeling lost or lonely, reminding them that hardships are temporary.

The bridge and outro, featuring the powerful vocals of Ms. Lauryn Hill, serve as the song's culmination, emphasizing the importance of prayer and faith during difficult times. The repetition of "Give Jah praises and prayers" reinforces the message of hope and perseverance, suggesting that even in the darkest hours, faith can illuminate the path forward.

[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

Showed you I love 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

Showed you I love 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

Now you're gonna bring the funk with the optic, with the vision

Trying to control your soul and take control (Oh, no-no, no)

No we don't play that game right here to win power

[Bridge: YG Marley & Ms. Lauryn Hill]

Give Jah all the thanks and praises [4x]

Won't you give Jah all the thanks and praises

Give Jah all the thanks and praises [7x]

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) [3x]

(Praises)

(Give Him the thanks and the praises) [3x]
