Great is Rastafari and great will be praised
I thank the days, Kalonji keep the hotta fire blaze
Yuh hear mi now

Ever livin', ever faithful, ever sure
Praise Rastafari more and more
Ever livin', ever faithful, ever sure
King Selassie, I liberate the poor

Mi tell yuh seh bless up, don't get bad mind and jealous
Bless up, inna Zion I di most high dwell up
Bless up, don't get bad mind and jealous
Dem sight black people arise and dem head start swell up

Ahh, poor people blood di wicked man been drinkin'
Corruption slave masters been thinkin'
Anyhow, I sight dem ship sinkin'
Black people they be lynchin' and pinchin'

Far too long di poor man they been sufferin'
Dem hail di king of kings, what joy it brings
Mek a jugglin' and hustlin', nah trouble him
Outta life what mi mek all a livin'

So bless up, don't get bad mind and jealous
Bless up, inna Zion, I Selassie I run up
Bless up, heads up, a time fi step up
'Cause when Jah fall him rain every man yard wet up

Ohh, livin' in roam, you got to hardcore for real
Stop di yutes from killin' and ya stop dem from steal
Teach dem to mek a daily livin' and a daily meal
Who can hear dem a go peal

Rastafari upon di seven sea
Emperor Selassie, I prophecy reveal
Wicked man get trample and a mi hail
Rastafari, where love is real

Ohh, burn di wicked and burn out all war monger
Strike di lightning and Jah, Jah roll di thunder
Cuss all di wicked man that's under
'Cause a false teeth a plunder

Bless up, don't get bad mind and jealous
Bless up, inna Zion I di most high well up
Bless up, heads up, time fi step up
'Cause when Jah fall him rain every man yard wet up

Ooh, woo, ghetto people get so wise
Can't stop di yutes when yuh sight dem arise
How could yuh stop a strong man from survive?
Till then yuh open up yuh eyes

Only love is di answer, and Rastafari always conquer
In di ship Congo, lift fi lift di anchor
Farm and farm di food
Then stop black people from dyin' from hunger

What to do, got to be strong?
Hold di I and meditation
Give us repartiation, no separation
Ooh
