(intro)
dem fi know me born january 7th
hear my cry, oh Jah
attend to my prayer
from the end of the earth, I will cry to you
when my heart is overwhelmed
lead me to the rock that is higher than high
for you have been a shelter for me
a strong tower from di enemy
I will abide in your tabernacle
forever
not nice
me neva born
uptown with no gold spoon inna mi mouth
me neva born
as no rich man son inna no rich man house
'nuff time
my father come in from work and nuh have a dime
'nuff time
me see me poor mother cry 'cau no food cyaan fuckin' find
(chorus)
Selassie I, love we
Selassie I, love we
Rastafari (Rastafari)
holy Emmanuel I
Selassie I, love we
ey
Jah nah forsake we
Jah done see how di system did a handle we
Him give we a talent
fi make money, fi myself and my family
'nuff time
policeman swear seh dem mus' take di teacher life
'nuff time
gunman try and fail me fi dead
but me still survive
(chorus)
ey
di media fight me
all when me do good
dem nuh have nothin' good fi seh
Adidja Palmer
is not di same Vybz Kartel from yesterday
we more mature now
in spite a what pagans dem waan chat we seh
me youth a grow now
me nuh make dem death fi hungry
a dat me seh
(chorus)
