About this video

Album: Force of Victory

dis is di age af reality
but some a wi a deal wid mitalagy
dis is di age af science an’ teknalagy
but some a wi check fi antiquity

w’en wi can’t face reality
wi leggo wi clarity
some latch aan to vanity
some hol’ insanity
some get vision
start preach relijan
but dem can’t mek decishan
w’en it come to we fite
dem can’t mek decishan
w’en it comes to wi rites

man,
dis is di age af reality
but some a wi deal wid mitalagy
dis is di age af science an’ teknalagy
but some a wi check fi antiquity

dem one deh gaan outta line
dem naw live in fi wi time
far dem she dem get sign
an’ dem bline dem eye
to di lite a di worl’
an’ gaan search widin
di dark a dem doom
an’ a shout ‘bout sin
instead a fite fi win

man,
dis is di age af reality
but some a wi deal wid mitalagy
dis is di age af science an’ teknalagy
but some a wi check fi antiquity
