[Intro:] 

And these are the questions 

That we Morgan Heritage ask all people 

No matter your race or your walk of life 

No matter your faith or your religion 

It's very simple, they're just two questions 

Rastaman ax the questions 



[Chorus x2:]

Could you live through what the ancient Rastaman live through 

(live through) 

Would you hold on to your faith if you been what they been through 

(Check yourself, check yourself) 



[Verse 1:]

Imagine being locked away in a prison cell 

For eighteen months for burning your holy sacrament 

And your country's leaders tell their police and soldiers 

To hunt you, beat you or kill you at will 

They'll ask questions later 



[Chorus x2] 



[Verse 2:]

From the hills of the East to the cities and plains 

The Father's work remains one in the same, yeah 

Been through the shame, persecution and blame 

All because we glorify Haile Selassie I name 



[Chorus x2] 



[Verse 3:] 



Into persecution and blame 

So much shame... 



[Nyabingi drums] 



And this is what we do 

To keep our vibes (you know) 

To keep our heavens clean and positive 

When the struggle gets hard 

From that time till this time 

The journey has been long and we still try 

But this is the vibration that has sustained I & I 

The children of Rastafari 

And by giving continuous Iziz to our God and King 

We have received steadfast strength that shall carry us trough this I war 

It's more strength and more prosperity 

More blessings to life 

When you truly believe in Holiness of the most High Rastafari 



[Chorus x2]
