"Strong & Healthy" marks the second version performed over the powerful "Don’t Judge Riddim" produced by the Cologne-based producer Aleksandar "Aca" Kazić.
In this latest release, Jon Moon reaffirms his faith in the almighty and the strength that comes from within. It's a song that resonates with positivity, empowering listeners to face life's challenges head-on, confident in their abilities to overcome obstacles and emerge stronger than ever.
The single is the last stop before the highly anticipated release of his EP, "Live That Life".
lyrics
Yes I!
Jon Moon again, bring another tune again
Ja man, big up Ajvar Music Productions
Yutman records representing, you know
I have a message tune you know, listen
I will never lose my way
'Cause Jah Jah keep me strong and keep me healthy
Everything is gonna be okay
Oh I don’t have no money, but I’m wealthy
And so I give thanks, even when I’m falling down
Jah Jah woulda never let me drown!
Even in the darkest days
I know I’m not alone 'cause he will help me
Yuh no see seh Jah will help me
No matter what a happen
If I ever tumble, or I stumble over supp'm
Help me!
So InI keep trodding
Our way in dis ya system while its roots already rotten
Can you tell me
Why so many have forgotten:
Only Jah above us and no bwoy can tell me nuttin’
Rastafari love us, while Babylon keep mocking
But when the truth a hit them, watch their jawline slowly dropping - bimm!
Ah so the Rastaman come stepping in
Watch the trouble that they’re getting in
Truth and rights is what we’re defending
And so I sing
I will never lose my way
'Cause Jah Jah keep me strong and keep me healthy
Everything is gonna be okay
Oh I don’t have no money, but I’m wealthy
And so I give thanks, even when I’m falling down
Jah Jah woulda never let me drown!
Even in the darkest days
I know I’m not alone 'cause he will help me
Yet I sometimes get so tired and my heart feels like a stone, but
When it feels like I’m completely on my own, it’s
Time to remember that I am not alone 'cause
Emperor Selassie-I still sit upon the throne.
And while my pockets are still empty
Friends and family are plenty
Enough to eat, a place to sleep
So I give thanks and repeat:
That I will never lose my way
'Cause Jah Jah keep me strong and keep me healthy
Everything is gonna be okay
Oh I don’t have no money, but I’m wealthy
And so I give thanks, even when I’m falling down
Jah Jah woulda never let me drown!
Even in the darkest days
I know I’m not alone 'cause he will help me, yeh
Will never lose my way, yeah
Jah Jah keep me strong and healthy (Lose my way, yeah, mmh)
Everything will be ok yeah
'Cause I got no money but I'm wealthy
So we give thanks you know,
Even in the darkest day
I know Jah Jah woulda never let me drown,
Woulda never let me down
(Uuh in the darkest day, oh)
Even when the whole a dem a frown, you know
Rastafari.
(Never let me down)
