Released in 2008, Merkaba features some of Anchants' most definitive lyrics. Since "This Picha" has been called upon both by fans and the musicians, I've taken the liberty to put together this clip, please fulljoy. (QueenMenen).

(Intro) You coulda'(repeat).
Children running in the world seeking justice, Mothers and Fathers not knowing what to practice. In all they reveal, you better know word their origin and meanings, cuz many words in the English language have been designed for decieving. No matter how you upfull, someone always chant a mouthfull. They'll tie a rope around your foot so when you're headed for the top they got a good pull. Well since they tossing negation, put prayers in your idetation. Could be the burning of candles or the pouring of water as libation, still I say.
(Chorus)
You coulda' Anchants running rhythm everyday, they'll find negative 'bout you to say. What's wrong, what's wrong with this picha'? (repeat)
Women should never have to raise their children without fathers!, But the perpetuation of seperation it make us fight one another. A young lady should never have to feel threatened by a male figure. That makes us guilty as the one dem with guns on the street killing one another..but till I say. (Chorus) Still I say yeh, yeh,yeh. (repeat)
Don't mind denomination Earth is what we all have in common. Endowed with a conscience automatically we should know right from wrong. So when you see your brother progressing just simply count it as a blessing. Don't go digging at an open wound, bring it a dressing. Still I say. (Chorus)
