Why you say, touch not the Lord anointed
And do his prophet no harm
King Selassie I the first
Judgement inna the earth
Tell dem fi splurt
King Selassie I them all gone under the earth
What you say
Babylon, low me, make me gwan chant me song
I can not hide from myself
I know who I am
Babylon, low me, make me gwan chant me song
'Cause me black, and me a born Ethiopian
Me sing
I don't want to be like no Kebbi
Says, "Ethiopian, no we stand inna the sinking sand"
Me sing
And Jah, the solid rock I stand
And I say, all a groan in the sinking sand
Again
I don't want to be like no Kebbi
Says, "Ethiopian, no we stand inna the sinking sand"
Me sing
And Jah, the solid rock I stand
And I know, Ethiopia shall shed forth her hand
Me sing
A long time me a listen all dem idiot plan
I'm talking to the Greeks and the Italians
I'm talking to the Frenchman and the German
Put the whole a dem together, me get Klu Klux Klan
Way back down upon the river Nile bank
The first place begin a civilization
The whole of dem come a try change up we plan
Selassie I roll thunder, dem run go Pilbon
Man flash the lightning, and dem bring in Quran
Go tell the whole a dem, dem is imitation
One name, one destiny, a one Jah stand
Through the Tribe of Judah conquering Zion
King Selassie I a ruler fi every man
So low me, make me gwan chant me song
Can not hide from myself
I know who I am
Well
Low me, make me gwan chant me song
King Selassie I a ruler fi every man
So sing
I don't want to be like no Kebbi
Says, "Ethiopian, no we stand inna the sinking sand"
Me sing
And Jah, the solid rock I stand
And I say, all a groan in the sinking sand
Again
I don't want to be like no Kebbi
Says, "Ethiopian, no we stand inna the sinking sand"
Me sing
And Jah, the solid rock I stand
And I know, Ethiopia shall shed forth her hand
Me sing
Man you have fi clean, you have fi purge, you have fi cleanse
Emperor Selassie I, a him fi be your friend
Also your guide, me say likewise defense
Make sure you never nyam all the yag inna the pen
Nor eat the pork dem inna the kren-kren
Make sure you never all envy your friend
No dis Danials out of the lions den
But enjoy the rock a salt the water contain
King Selassie I, the wisest man, you a fi friend
I don't want to be like no Kebbi
Says, "Ethiopian, no we stand inna the sinking sand"
Me sing
And Jah, the solid rock I stand
And I say, all a groan in the sinking sand
Well
Drink whole heap of hyssop, and drink whole heap of herb
Clean up your temple and get it present
Cleanliness is godliness, that me you have fi purge
Emperor Selassie I, a him you fi serve
By the byways and edges just shout out him name
Selassie I, make your voice be heard
Check your crooked ways, if you know say dem turn
Every man fi have turn, what him deserve
Only a good shepherd can lead a good herd
So low me, make me gwan chant me song
Can not hide from myself
I know who I am
