Lyrics
Him speaketh in tongues, Him wll it in the hearts of all flesh
Yeah, stanyoi
Woi
Oh God, I beg for forgiveness
So help me Lord, yes I beg for forgiveness
Deep in my heart, please, I'm crying for forgiveness
Allahu Akbar, I fall to my knees for forgiveness
Branded by the steel iron, bullets flying
Ladies being hit through wickedness, I'm losing my grip
I thought we lived by the books, the Bible, Koran
We pick cotton, my back is still hot and darkened
They threw burners in our babies' faces
Pale hands that looked scary touched our bodies in the strangest places
Sweat from the white man's head
Fell on our daughters as she cried, giving white man head
Almighty, alrighty, **** is screwing
God won't you tell me why these ho **** is screwing? (Screwing)
I'm sorry Father, sacrifice me, leave my wife
Sacrifice me twice, so my kids can see paradise (Paradise)
So we hail our God king Selassie I, Jehovah God, Jah Rastafari
Who is seateth in Zion and reigneth in all
In the hearts of all flesh, woo-oi
Plead my cause oh Jah, with them that strive with me
Fight against them,woo-oi
That fight against me, woo-oi
Take hold thy shield and buckle and stand up for my health
Oh Jah, oh Jah, only you can comfort me
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, woi stanyoi
Cursed to the wicked snakes who try to snatch the truth away
Cursed be the ones who try to take our youth away
Peace to the black, the brown, the red, yellow and white seed
We don't discriminate man, over color, creed
They tried to snatch up our beats, son, and steal our culture
Like German Catholics, whitewashing Roman sculptures
How dare you try to deny Allah's intelligence
Kidnap the truth and destroying the black evidence
Glory be to the Father
Glory be to the Son
(Glory be to the Older One)
Glory be to the Older One
The Older One of creation, woi
As Jah was in the beginning, is now and forever shall be
Jah world, Jah world without end, woi
So we hail our God king Selassie I, Jehovah God, Jah Rastafari
Who is seateth in Zion and reigneth in the hearts of
In the hearts of all flesh, woi
