Thanks and Praises
Like the title says it, he gives thanks and praises and shows from the start his belief as the cornerstone of his existence. Jah is Alpha, the Beginning. Wisdom starts with the acknowledgement of God. Thanks and praises is extracted from the Book of Psalms.
 

Negritude
Negritude is a French word and it represents the struggle of an oppressed people, race, fighting for liberation, not only political and economical but also spiritual. It is a cry-out of a stifling people trying to break the chains of bondage and oppression inflicted by Europeans with their imperialistic aspirations.
For Ayouba, Negritude = Civil Rights Movements = Reggae.

 

Fly Natty Dread (Also available on the album "Acoustic")
Song of hope, urges the repatriation of suffering souls to Zion Africa.

"People walking in darkness,
Have seen Rasta, Jah light…
For those who dwell in the
Land of the Shadow of Death,
A light has shown bright,
Like the Morning Star…"

 

Revolution (Also available on the album "Acoustic")
Like he said, "Rasta don't fight flesh nor blood, but spiritual wickedness in high or low places down in Babylon…" The Revolution has to be spiritual, not physical.

 

Dark Ghetto
A deep dark metaphorical song. Chant a plight, the suffering and misery.

"We've been living dark
In misery
In frustration
In the ghetto…

"Moses is on his way
Way down ina Babylon
He is coming down
For you and for me
So don't you ever cry
Children don't cry…"

 

Burning
(The main title)

Your turning away from the Lord, shall lose you,
You are like a blind in this creation,
But the light of salvation comes from within
And like the Bible says it, "No wicked shall sit in the congregation of the righteous…"

"People have lost their faith. That's why fire is burning…"

 

Rastaman
Sung in French and expressing his pride, belief in being Rasta and praising Rastafari. English version by Jacob Miller (Inner Circle).

 

Mystical
"Many are called but a few are chosen…"

"You reap what you sow…
And when Jah time comes,
There, shall be weeping
And wailing and mashing of teeth."

  Reveillez-Vous
Wake up. Song to warn people about politicians. "Don't trust them, for Jah is the only leader and Earth's rightful ruler." Politicians carry the mark of the beast. Beware.
