Right 4000 years, yet no one cares

Now it's time for you to participate ey

So Solomon sacred yah, I love that creator ow

Yea hey ey


From Africa they take us away, yes I yes I

In the Western they slave us every day

They never listen to what we got to say

Sold us on their plantation only to be paid

They didn't have the people intrest at heart

Ready for repatriation so make the start

I know they linch and clinch my people in the dark

Now I'm the light of the world oh


CHORUS

It's amazing how we never die

When the system what they set was just to slave I and I

It's amazing how we never die

It's amazing when they see the good we do to survive

It's amazing how we never die

Keep the fire blazing King Rastafari save we life

It's amazing how we never die, oh oh

Speak the truth and tell no lie, ey


They say in life there's no measure

While others at their place having pleasure

My children and my woman that's my liesure

Can't give away life that's my treasure

Fighting to keep us down they could never

I'm here to stay and that's forever

To live each day wise and clever,

conquering all my endeavours
