My favorite motivational Reggae Song- Sizzla Kalonji- Rise to the Occasion ( @jeronimorubio)
Source
@jeronimorubio askd a question is his vlog here,
"What Reggae Songs Fill You with Positive Energy Powerful Enough to Lift Your Spirits & Get You to the Next Level in Life?"
I thought about this question and the song that came to mind was Sizzla Kalonji's Rise to the occasion. Just the way the song starts is amazing, the sounds of the beat creeps in and then Sizzla drops his punchline;
"Rise to the occasion look at yourself and say your strong, no one can stop you."
The lines are solid affirmations to get up and do your best. The Haunting melody of the chorus gives a feeling of " I do not want to have any regrets in life, when he says straight up....
"It's for you to make the best in life...."
Here are the full lyrics to the song.
Rise to the occasion, look at yourself den say yuh strong
No-one can stop yuh, oh yeah
Rise to the occasion, go ahead you know you strong, no-one can stop you
[Chorus]
It's for you to make the best in life, know that you got the chance
Get up & step towards your goal, it's all right, fulfill your needs & wants
You to make the best in life, know that you got the chance
Get up & step towards your goal, it's all right
[Verse 1]
Yeah yeah
Some people read & meditate, others move scantier
Some people are conscious about life, others are still panting, ya
Some people like strong drinks cold, like champagne & brandy, ya
Babies like ice-cream, & cake, and can-, candy, ya
I love herbs & girls, good words, roots, I'm Ashanti, ya
Girls love lots of shoes going to school, brand new, and I mean spanking, ya
Yeah, we all need education because that's the damn ting, ya
All things fade, leaving it standing
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Fulfill your needs & wants
You got the clearance, that's the reference
Perseverance for the utmost best should be your preference
Skills of trade & talents is your evidence
Help those who far off, teach those in your residence
Woh! yeah yeah, girls get some sentiments
Look at it with a clear conscience
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Oh wow
People try so many things just to make a living
Thanks & praise to the king, ever-living, thanks giving, ya
Need no distractions, stay focused because it now begins
Got to achieve your goals, and it so vivid
No crime!, no killing, no confusion
Life is so real, no time for disillusion
Just like mom would say, love is the solution
Keep making music, you'll become a musician
[Chorus]
Woh yeah
Here is a new JAHM session I found of Sizzla performing Dry cry/Just on of those days. Just posted 10 hours ago.

Madd Ting, Dub culture is a special one!
What a great friend!
I had not heard thanks for the contribution
Nice! This is powerful music:)
For some reason, it is not running here, so I went to youtube, searched it, and listened, and I am happy, I did that.
... Love it.
Quite motivational, not only the poetry, but music and the style of the singing are enhancing the level of getting motivated as well.
I would love to share something from Pakistani folk music...
Youtube translator might not give the exact meaning of the poetry, but you'd love music and style of singing.
Wish you a very lovely day.
Thanks for your comment. I checked out this traditional song. Good stuff, I couldn’t understand but I felt it. Music is powerful,
Have a fantastic weekend.
