Selassie I live!
I hear say black people need to be liberated
And we a say equal rights and justice
Wha' me say?
If anuh equal rights and justice
Then mark mi word, we ago clean up the city
If anuh liberation and equality
Then another spot nah go lef' down at the cemetery
Now I say, what about the half that never been told?
We're true, we're strong, powerful, mightyful, and bold
Certain things me haffi talk weh the prophet behold
What is revealing to the young was hidden from the old
That's why nuff of dem give we the book dem fi hold
But most of the book dem translated for silver and gold
That's why certain things a get out of control
Much I have black people under dem portfolio
Gwan Capleton, you make the good time a roll
If anuh equal rights and justice
Then mark mi word, we ago clean up the city
If anuh liberation and equality
Then another spot nah go lef' down at the cemetery
Hear me wha' me tell dem!
Well, every man fi obtain what him deserve
How me fi run the straight and you waan give me the curve?
How me fi build the cattle and you waan take the herd?
Only a good shepherd can lead a good herd
I, Capleton, is what the Father preserve
Capleton's voice will always be heard
I won't be the second, nor the last, nor the third
Tell dem, show dem, raise up dem, know say it care
Else we ago clean up the city, mark mi word
If anuh equal rights and justice
Then mark mi word, we ago clean up the city
If anuh liberation and equality
Then another spot nah go lef' down at the cemetery
Just true dem hear the prophecy of the great Marcus Redan
Jah, the Black Star Zion a we ago travel pon
Well, nuff of Luffy's ship a sail pon the ocean
Me tell the whole of dem, dem better overstand
You see the Black Star Zion, that we deh pon
Well, nuff of dem no know where Jamaica come from
Dem a ask if a the Atlantic Ocean
And dem a wonder if a this Pacific Ocean
Me tell the whole of dem, dem better overstand
A Africa we know say Jamaica come from
Just like Israel and just like Jordan
Under the surface of land Selassie I, Him deh pon
So, hold up unuh head, black people, hold strong
If anuh equal rights and justice
Then mark mi word, we ago clean up the city
If anuh liberation and equality
Then another spot nah go lef' down at the cemetery
I sing, what about the half that never been told?
We're true, we're strong, powerful, mightyful, and bold
Certain things me haffi talk weh the prophet behold
What is revealing to the young was hidden from the old
That's why nuff of dem give we the book dem fi hold
But most of the book dem translated for silver and gold
That's why certain things a get out of control
Much I have black people under dem portfolio
Who fight 'gainst the gangsta dem ago lose dem soul
Gwan Capleton and make the good time a roll
If anuh equal rights and justice
Then mark mi word, we ago clean up the city
If anuh liberation and equality
Then another spot nah go lef' down at the cemetery
How you a try harm me? Me nah try harm you
You a fight 'gainst me? Me nah fight 'gainst you
You labba labba, you too su-su-su-su
Too chatty-chatty, and carry green thumb too
You a try envy man, and man, me nah envy you
You a fight 'gainst mi mother, fight 'gainst mi papa too
Fight 'gainst mi sister, and all mi bredda too
And a over the years unuh brutalize the youth...
