Testi

Haile Selassie a me reference
Black woman, you a di essence
A just the teachings of His Majesty
Make we see riches a no vanity
Block a order, hold a reverence
In a honour of your presence
Inna the Gideon, no I won't flee
Faith is belief in what the eye don't see
No haffi believe a word that they say
King and Queen get crowned the same day
Ababa Jahnoy deny you, no way
Bless, sanctify these paths we gon take
Never we speak on which we don't know
Search and we seek, we reap what we sow
History will teach of things gone before
Always repeat, mankind we learn slow (Jah know)
Me see how you handle the Mussolini him
Geneva Convention never believe the King
The world never listen when you say fascism
Then three year later Hitler give it to them
Today for you, mi say tomorrow me
Look how you teach about diplomacy
How we need fi reach up economically
But dem nuh watch ee pree Haile Selassie a me reference
Black woman, you a di essence
A just the teachings of His Majesty
Make we see riches a no vanity
Block a order, hold a reverence
In a honour of your presence
Inna the Gideon, no I won't flee
Faith is belief in what the eye don't see
To whom do you belong?
To Abba Aquel
Read me book wid mi highlighter
The moment me sight up, me eyes light up
Yesus Christos never born pon Christmas
Check ee history
Wah deh deh fi we discuss?
A discuss how me dash it weh inna disgust
Distrust, di audacity, listen to dis fus
Selassie deh a di top like meniscus
A king was born
They say it's likely you
July 23rd, 1892
1920 Marcus mek a proclamation
1930 November a Coronation
A man weh bun God rate His Majesty
Mi rate His Majesty, mi hail His Majesty as the King
He shook ee earth at a frequency
The earth nuh frequent see
Haile Selassie a me reference
Black woman, you a di essence
A just the teachings of His Majesty
Make we see riches a no vanity
Block a order, hold a reverence
In a honour of your presence
Inna the Gideon, no I won't flee
Faith is belief in what the eye don't see
Haile Selassie a me reference
Black woman, you a di essence
A just the teachings of His Majesty
Make we see riches a no vanity
Block a order, hold a reverence
In a honour of your presence
Inna the Gideon, no I won't flee
Faith is belief in what the eye don't see
