Lyrics
As you know yea yea

Bless dem now Kalonji

We say hail to the high one of iration

Emperor Hailie Sellasie I you know

The black king of Etiopia

Black nation rise ey

If it's diamond and pearl dem pon your mind

It's gonna fade away then whoa oh

The people is the earth so be not unkind

How it look from when you dey pretend whoa oh

For there is only one way to go

And I can only do the good that I know

Oh yeah for sure oh for sure

I've got to tear the wicked man down

No matter where them rise from

True love is only what the children know

Dem could never know me

Cause them a heads too low

Oh yeah for sure oh for sure

Got to take the ghetto youths

Over on the Ethiopian shore

Babylon get scared

From them sight rastaman them

Sight them worst nightmare

Yo and now them come and chat

But look from when we here

Say dem greedy like a rat

With the youths them no share

So I've got to go

And make a home and bless prepare

Repatriate the ghetto youths them

From this hemisphere

Well you no bother scorn we true we dutty

And tear

True me tent out spread out pun the ground

Like a spear

Babylon sight the natty Congo dem no mock

And a jeer

Dem go dis King Selassie get splash out like pear

How the bongo man fi friend yuh

You sit down inna dem chair

Swear dem go swear

For there is only Rasta way to go

And I can only do the good that I know

Oh yeah for sure oh for sure

I've got to tear the Babylon down tear dem down

And there is only one way to go

And I can only do the good that I know

Oh yes for sure oh for sure

I've got to touch that African shore

Hey no now

Oh well I've seen some many faces

Gone so many places ahhh

Rastaman ah go through

Oy I know of their disgraces

Bun them out inna every cases yah

Tell them nothing nah new

Ay the woman upon her traces

Want I drop them laces fi dem children 1 or 2

Rasta foundation cyar break it

Well you better take it

Yah nah reek and nah screw

Check the road dem go tek

Dem go read the wrong code

And them end up over next

And true dem love fi call

Nuff ah dem ah get test yo

And dem mix up inna too much filthiness

When Rastaman ah chant them neva waa bless

And Rastaman ah talk them

Say them neva hear it yet

But now mi say

You no bother come here with no bad concept

Listen the words from yuh

Tongue yo chek your dutty flex

Youth the fullness so ah trap dem go set

But there is only one ah way to go

True love is only the good the youths dem know

Oh yeah for sure oh for sure

I've got to tear the hethen down bring dem down

True love is only what the youths dem know

And I can only show the ghetto youths the way to go

Oh yea for sure oh for sure

No matter where them rise
