Lead singers Jacob Hemphill (vocals, guitar) and Bob Jefferson (bass) met in first grade in Virginia, shortly after Jacob had returned from living in Africa with his family. The two instantly became best friends, and in middle school found a common love for hip hop and rock music. Throughout middle and high school, they met Patrick O’Shea (keyboards), Ryan Berty (drums), and Ken Brownell (percussion) – who would later form SOJA. During this period, reggae music was becoming an addiction for the budding musicians.

[Verse] DF#m Just like the land that bear the name Africa, C#mE Love is on my mind. It’s for everyone no matter where you’re from, Love, it cross all lines. Like the feeling of all the seasons changing, Love is a memory And in these last days, when iniquity blazing, Truth Love Speaks.
[Chorus] I need true love Do you know what you mean to me Does it show as I live and I breath In the valley of the shadow, I know you’ll be. I defense, I conquer death I conquer the enemy (envy).
[Verse] What is love really if it only affects, one aspect of life? That’s like a musician who only accepts, his own musical type. That’s like a preacher who only respects sunday morning, and not saturday night That’s how a soldier can come to reflect, that Love is more than a man and a wife.
Chorus
In a time of plenty, Jah gonna keep I strong. Things get how and I keep cool, yeah, Jah gonna keep me strong. When InI cup is empty, Jah gonna keep I strong. When InI cup is full, yeah, Jah keep I from their temptation.
