JAH IS DEAD

 

Jah is dead, Jah is dead, Jah is dead Don't wanna go dread and do things them said

 

Idolatry Forbidden for me All the things with no common sense in them The logical centre in brain it nah agree One of them a crowning of the king Whom they sing and they call a lord of the worlds Oh lord such a blasphemy Provokes a war of the words

 

Man worship Cost my people too much Taken them to a slave ship And brought them to a strange land But the tribes of the cost who read the book of revelation Have become a proud nation And fight off the intruder For it was better to die under African sky Than to live in a strange land Controlled by a white man Oh yeah

 

Jah is dead, Jah is dead, Jah is dead Don't wanna go dread and do things them said Jah is dead, Jah is dead, Jah is dead You know my lord I've got only one king Jah is dead, Jah is dead, Jah is dead I give you praise in return you give bread

 

Revolution In Ethiopia land A military coup by the soldier them a call Mengistu Haile Miriam Oh while my people wonder why You se Jah Rastafari feeding his pet lions And hungry youth starve Oh man oh man

 

Redemption For each and everyone Oh for my lord is the one who created heaven And the sky and the land He also created Haile Sellasie one of six billion People who should bow down When it's praying time So I tell my people

 

 

Jah is dead, Jah is dead, Jah is dead Don't wanna go dread and do things them said Jah is dead, Jah is dead, Jah is dead You know my lord I've got only one king Jah is dead, Jah is dead, Jah is dead I give you praise in return you give bread
