All of us we'd honour the One and only King Selassie !

try and evolve our vision

Ya'd better listen close to i

Hail King Selassie! show such guidance to our youngsters

from the Ghetto

Ya're not understandin the say be that Jah Jah people

be gettin their vision evolved day by day

V1

The game's twisitn and turnin alike some Y--yO

I'm smokin my ganja and be fully emergin

Babylonian matters be hastin so fast so i'd have

to keep my composure

They be fillin me with such mislead

But i be fillin them with such flow pon the mike

They be teachin me to just complaint and yet i'd still not do so

They be wantin me to stop yet i'd still fight on

They be prohibiting me to grow m'a ganja, yet i'd still plant and farm

Cause that's how Rastafari path be

V2

The path to Heaven be filled by such hard obstacles

But we'd still tread on it

We're forgettin of Babylon , yet they be still talk nonsense

We're keepin our beliefs alive

And they be shuttin us out

I be sayin to them back off, Judgement time be upon us now

Haile Selassie I be rullin the earth

All of us be holdin reverence to him since birth

Outta Free of will, and without a drop of blood spilled pon my shirt

For Babylon i be havin such compassion

They be sellin out their soul

I be not let go of m'a beliefs

Babylon betta nicelly stay aside and keep on waitin

Cause i be settled on my own

Whilst i'd always be holdin reverence
