Lyrics

Yes I is more love
Is Ethiopia, deh so we come from
So watch yah
Hey whoa
Yooo-ooah
Rastafari's man is forever live in kingdom
Hey ah
Lovely to know about your willingness
Others are like very different
I know the poor must be ameliorate
This is not the time to segregate, yah
Why boast when it put you nowhere
And your riches will soon disappear
Trying to be like those who prove you so unfair
Come to protect the poor, I love them every day, yah
Why boast when it put you nowhere
And them riches will soon disappear
Trying to be like those who prove you so unfair
Come to protect the poor and Jah is ever there
You see it
They never want us reach nowhere
Yet I know I and I out everywhere
From Holy Mount Zion to the earth's plain
The conquering lion bringeth no shame
No respect for the poor and yet the table prepare
Continue to ignore, they insult our care
We cook the food they eat and make the very clothes they wear
What a tribulation poor people they bear
Inna every situation still we never fair
They make it hard so them start move queer
And a them thief out the poor man share
So who ya know earth a rend and tear
I see the wicked man a get slew with despair
Emperor Selassie is the head and it clear
The Sabbath must be kept, it a written down there
New lesson time fi humble and share
Why boast when it put you nowhere
And your riches will soon disappear
Come to love the poor, I love them every day
Trying to be like those who prove you so unfair, yah
Why boast when it put you nowhere
And the riches will soon disappear
Try to be like those who prove you so unfair
Come to protect the poor, I love them every day
And this is the time, stop acting blind and just be upright, yah
Ethiopia await us
Show yourself upright in Jah sight
Hate to see my brother fall and by the wayside
Love unnu another, start move wise
Upright words keep us alive
Rastafari teaching ever make we strive
Dirty heart and proud looks no make we survive
Corruption make Babylon ago collide
Pretty on the out and yet them upset inside
Got to be perfect fi touch black man paradise, yah
Why boast when it put you nowhere, yah
And them riches will soon disappear
Come to love the poor, I love them every day
Yah yah yah yah, whoa oh ah
Why boast when it put you nowhere, yah
And your riches will soon disappear
Not being yourself would prove you so unfair
I come to love the poor, I see them everywhere
Ah yo
Lovely to know about your willingness, yah
Others are like very different, yah
I know the poor must be ameliorate
This a not the time fi separate
Why boast
