Haile I, ever live in love, blessed my lord & empress, Ethiopia
Hear the right O Jah Rastafari,

Let basentess come forth from thy prison, tell yuh to rise, behold the things which are equal
I and I say black people never lose the faith,
Him cop he head so we get it and the king of glory shall come in
Emperor Haile Selassie I is our ever-living king,yes
Is more love & joy Rastafari bring, yeah yeah

Inna d system d youths dem na go cope
The life some living is ah joke
Always live for the best, of course, yah

Ay, be not like dem old Phareces & Scribes,yahh
Be not like dem who always fuss and fight, ooohhh
Just live in love and protect your life

And to the most high

It has been such a very long while
Black people been suffering, yah, hey

So dem take we as dey mockery and postering, yow
Dem couldn’t stop mih locks from growin’
Yow, well deh couldn’t stop Jah breeze from blowin’,no
Ah say dem couldn’t stop d river from flowin’
To Ethiopia,Africa black people goin’

All dey got to give are guns & coke
Dey never see fire we done smoke, burn dem out now

It surely give me joy to see you seeing & praise the Most High

Why should we ever dear fight, yow
When everyone is equal in Selassie I sight
Be fruitful and live in the sunshine
