Lyrics
Holy Emmanuel
King Selassie I (King Selassie I)
Igeng a your name
Everyday (Everyday)
Everyday (Everyday)
So you know you got to repent for your sins
And give thanks and praises
Yeah (Yeah)
That's what we gotta do (That's what we gotta do)
That's what we gotta do (That's what we gotta do)
Everyday when you go through
That's no lie-ie-ie-ie (Lie-ie-ie-ie)
That's no lie-ie-ie-ie (Lie-ie-ie-ie)
Everyday that goes by-ie-ie-ie (By-ie-ie-ie)
Just goes by-ie-ie-ie
There's so many things that I've done in my life (My life)
I've caused a lot of pain and trouble and strife (Strife)
No one is perfect and that is so true (So true)
You've got to repent for all the wrong that you do (You do)
I said, you can't get away no day
And only one it can reach you same way
So it's best you just ask for forgiveness while you pray
Everyday and don't feel no way (No way)
I say, it takes a man to own up to his wrong
It takes a woman to own up and be strong (Be strong)
So hear me now, Father, when me a sing this song
Hey, hey, hey, listen me when me a say
Yo, I know I've cheated and I have lied
When I got caught up I still denied
But I will always be by Jah Jah side
And hold up my pride (Pride)
No one is perfect and that's so true
You have to answer for everything you do (Everything you do)
Father, I'm begging some mercy from you
To make me trod and go through (Trod and go through)
To make me trod and go through
Trod and go through
Help me trod and go through
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
That's what we gotta do
Trod and go through
Trod and go through
Yeah, yeah
So do it without no delay
If you say, just repent and pray (And pray)
If your life mucky like a ashtray
Hear me nuh, Father, laws follow them and don't disobey
Hear wha' me say
Try your best and tell the truth (Tell the truth)
I was deceitful as a likkle youth (Likkle youth)
I used to have nuff woman walking a posse and gang dem
Me join up Selassie I crew
But hear me nuh, that nuh mean I ain't perfect
Me nuh reach dem kind a levels and dem deh heights yet
I've made a few mistakes and took the wrong steps
There's certain things when I was younger done that I regret
But me nah go let that stick up inna me mouth, I
I've learned from my mistakes and follow
The sound, I (Follow the sound, I)
Hear me when I sing, woman, cah I
I know when I'm wrong, Father knows I'm not blind
'Cause I know that I have cheated and I have lied
When I got caught up I still denied
But I will always be by Jah Jah side
And hold up my pride (Hold up my pride)
No one is perfect and that's so true
You have to answer for everything you do (Everything you do)
Father, I'm begging some mercy from you
To make me trod and go through (Trod and go through)
Yeah, yeah
Rally and go through
Cap ticks dem a rally and go through
Duck Pits gyal dem a rally and go through
Everyday
Dem a pray
Even though the road can be rocky and bad
You fi give thanks and praises everyday that you trod
'Cause I give thanks for what I got and what I bad
I've broken a few hearts and left some people sad
Certain things that I have done have left certain people mad
Sometimes when other people mad, them get dem happy and glad
Me nuh care if dem glad, me deh yah fi do me job
That's why me haffi sing this song and own up to God
And let Him know that
I have cheated and I have lied
When I got caught up I still denied
But I will always be by Jah Jah side
And hold up my pride
No one is perfect and that's so true
You have to answer for everything you do
Father, I'm begging some mercy from you
To let me trod and go through
