Intro:

Go away man cause we no love pagan

Remember that, Blessed.

When ever you take part in the up-rising of the black child

When them see we face them a run come smile.

Well red, soil them get soil, soil them get soil. 


Chorus:

As Emperor Selassie I was in the beginning

Is now and ever shall be

Be glorious in your powers while I sing

To his own Devine Majesty.

As Jah was in the beginning

Is now and ever shall be

Be glorious inna your powers while I sing

To the whole ghetto community. 


Verse 1:

Nuff a them a look fi Selassie

Yet them greedy fi wealth

Make me tell you

You can not be looking out of yourself

How close are you to Zion ?

Inna Emmanuel Tabernacle have you ever knelt ?

Confuse not your heart

Power from the source

Black child of the Zion is of the eastern coast.

What life has taught me is to love and not to boast

Nuh teach the youth them bout no damn holy ghost 


Chorus 


Verse 2:

Me haffi holla out

I and I and I are the Royal son of King David

So Babylon why you try to deny

The ghetto youths loyal knowledge ?

Red, gold and green with the black five point star

Banners shall flow inna every village

Me tell them sey repatriation no deh far

Get yourself ready and come we go pon Babylon bridge

When money caan do it and there is no food to eat

For me nah go tell the street how them a bawl and a weep

A them a call fi peace but grap and a run with all of the wheat

But Bob hill them soon caan see it 


Chorus 


Verse 3:

We tell them say

Everything that provide

Come we chant all Nyahbinghi inside the royal palace

Ghetto youth just be wise how unnuh haffi rise

Come make we open up we eyes

A tell you sey, me haffi chant down river Nile

Babylon me just come and career get soil

Yow, I want to live it up and trod down Nine Mile

Remember that the city, yow, haven't a living reptile
