This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Lyrics
Verse:
I message, written in rhyme, prophetic
Teachers amongst the skeptics and guiding the misdirected
Infected with their lies and their alabis
With their third eye blind, out of line, they try to prophesy
I and I unfold the mysteries told
From the futuristic reals to the days of old
make straight thru the path of the one voice calling
Truth shines back again two times in the second coming.
B-section:
I am the Messenjah x4
Chorus:
This I pledge, and i'll take to my death
I'll lay my life down for you and die over again
I and I, I'm not ashamed of the Most High
Even if I die tonight, if I die tonight
This I pledge and I'll take it to my death
You can bet your life on my words and everything I said
You can't take away my love for this sacrifice
Even if I die tonight, if I die tonight
Verse:
True king descendant, master to the apprentice
Pleased to release and reveal in me His presence
Forever blessed, I beliefe if Jah said it
The word of life came alive in the scriptures I read it
All hail we prevail the Tribes of Israel, flow through ya
We persue the conquering lion of the Tribe of Judah
Don't let em Fool ya, before this, the foolish get rushed
So dont stop, you never knew us
B-Section
Chorus
