[Chorus]
|
'Til I'm laid to rest
|
Always be depressed
|
There's no life in the West
|
i know the East is the best
|
All the propaganda they spread
|
Tongues will have to confess
|
|
I'm in bondage living is a mess
|
I've got to rise up alleviate the stress
|
No longer will I expose my weakness
|
He who seeks knowledge begins with humbleness
|
Work 7 to 7 but I'm still penniless
|
All the food upon my table Massa God bless
|
Holler for the needy and shelterless
|
Ethiopia awaits all prince and princess
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
What coube so bad about the East
|
Everybody wants a piece
|
Africa for Africans
|
Marcus Mosiah speak
|
Unification outnumbers defeat
|
What a day when we walk down Redemption Street
|
Banner on heads bible inna we hands
|
One and all lets trod the promised land
|
Buju go down a Congo
|
Stopped in Shashamane Land
|
The city of Harare where Selassie com from
|
In Addis Ababa then Batswana
|
Left Kenya end up in Ghana
|
Oh what a beauty my eyesight behold
|
Only Ethiopia protect me from the cold
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Organize and centralize come as one
|
Our seeds shall be so many more than sand
|
Some new and replenish pure and clean heart
|
For too long we've been under this band
|
Some a save a bag a riches
|
Yet they die empty hand
|
Go on saying I'm stupid and laugh all you can
|
Easier for a caller to go through a needle eye
|
Than a rich man to enter a Zion
|
Take it from I man
|
So
|
|
