Dopo aver fatto il suo debutto live in Italia lo scorso aprile, per Jah9 è giù tempo di pensare a nuovi lavori ed uscite. L’artista giamaicana mette ancora mano al suo primo disco e pubblica il nuovo videoclip di Gratitude, traccia numero cinque di New Name.
Il brano, prodotto da Rory Stonelove, è il quarto estratto dal disco dopo Avocado, Jungle e Steamers A Bubble. Il video vede la regia di Samo Kush-I e l’artista è in primo piano tra yoga, natura e microfono con cui canta un testo non solo di gratitudine ma che vuole essere anche un invito ad un impegno costante per mettere in atto gli insegnamenti della religione rasta.
Testo Gratitude | Jah9
Gratitude is fuel for the actions I partake in
so in doing what I love I get to keep it up
Perceptions leave much room to be mistaken
so in doing what I say I word is covenant
I expect nothing but the best from iself
Not myself or me putting personality
under subordination of the master key
which is the Most High in I and I
As a man thinketh in his heart so is he
what ever you dwelling on is the reality that you’re creating
Use your concentration wisely
because your only limitation is your imagination
Priority one is to focus on the Most High in the meditation
Develop the routine, keep the room clean
Balance the physical and spiritual accommodation
sip daily from the written word learn from the example
then put it into practical use within your temple
the real work is to know the truth is the seed
the real life is to grow into what you need
As a man thinketh in his heart so is he
what ever you dwelling on is the reality that you’re creating
Use your concentration wisely
because your only limitation is your imagination
Trapped inside the flesh requiring emancipation
from the source of the vexation which is the enemy
anyhow you let the mind control corrupt your state of meditation
You compromise the soul lose focus of the goal
And move further from the free
where you ought to be, shaping your destiny
guided by the Most High no need for competition
when creative cultivation of the nation is the mission
As a man thinketh in his heart so is he
what ever you dwelling on is the reality that you’re creating
Use your concentration wisely
because your only limitation is your imagination
Interlude
Trapped inside the flesh requiring emancipation
from the source of the vexation which is the enemy
anyhow you let the mind control corrupt your state of meditation
You compromise the soul lose focus of the goal
And move further from the free
where you ought to be, shaping your destiny
guided by the Most High no need for competition
when creative cultivation of the nation is the mission
As a man thinketh in his heart so is he
what ever you dwelling on is the reality that you’re creating
Use your concentration wisely
because your only limitation is your imagination
