Realize that the riddim is very wise, you know
Yeah

From the roots of David
Hahahaha
Oh, Jah Jah nigh
King Selassie I
Nah!
I tell dem say me nah bow
Babylon dem nah go trick me, and a somehow
Dem haffi tell man 'bout Selassie and me nah go
Oh no, oh no
Got to survive somehow
I bawl, me nah bow
Babylon dem nah go trick me, and a somehow
Dem haffi tell man 'bout Selassie and me nah go
Oh no, oh no
Got to survive somehow
But Beenie send greetings to King Selassie inna di best form of way
I nuh matter who, or ask from whosoever DJ
If you hate Selassie I, then fire burn right away
Well, if you love him, then come let us pray
Ok!
Wonder dem a wonder, nuff of dem, dem all a fret
True dem nuh hear Beenie speak about King Menelik
Who win di battle of Dawa, make Italian dem fret
Hold on, unuh nuh hear nothing yet
But tell dem say me nah bow
Babylon dem nah go trick me, and a somehow
Dem haffi tell man 'bout Selassie and me nah go
Oh no, oh no

Oh nigh, me nah bow
Babylon dem nah go trick me, and a somehow
Dem haffi tell man 'bout Selassie and me nah go
Oh no, oh no

Me wonder, how some Rasta man nuh lean down and pray
Fi 23rd of July be public holiday
How some Rasta man nuh lean down, I wonder

When di King get him crown, hear di Rasta man after
Hold on, you nuh see Moses deh yah
But to I man say, I satta satta King Selassie Massagana
Bwoy waan question me talk, true none of dem can't
Say, King Selassie I, di earth rightful ruler
Hold on, a pure lightning and thunder
But tell dem me nah bow

Dem haffi tell man 'bout Selassie and me nah go
Oh no, oh no

I cry, me nah bow
Babylon dem nah go trick me, and a somehow
Dem haffi tell man 'bout Selassie and me nah go
Oh no, oh no

All di politician have nuff to answer to
Like fi trick di ghetto youth and give dem big gun too
And fi shoot dem one another like dem a barber
But nuh listen, Moet is speaking to you
Unuh praise!
King Selassie I, di earth rightful ruler
Put down unuh sixteen 'matic and unuh chopper
And listen pon di record when di DJ hot
And try praise the Lion of Judah
But tell dem, me nah bow
Babylon dem nah go trick me, and a somehow
Dem haffi tell man 'bout Selassie and me nah go
Oh no, oh no

I cry, me nah bow
Babylon, unuh nah go trick me, and a somehow
Dem haffi tell man 'bout Selassie and me nah go
Oh no, oh no

To all Craig Town youth, yes, a unuh me a talk

Town Bliss, Rema Man, Tivoli man dem from mi heart
Hold on, you nuh see di war start
But put down unuh gun, unuh run
And see Selassie come
While Beenie pon di riddim a march him dem down
Babylon fi burn, and man a go burn down Sodom
I'm preaching to the old and the young
And tell dem, me nah bow
Babylon dem nah go trick me, and a somehow
Dem haffi tell man 'bout Selassie and me nah go
Oh no, oh no
