Protect Us & Bless Us

(专辑： Good Ways - 1998)

[Intro:]
Judgement!
Rastafari try dem case, find dem guilty
Cyaan show dem face dem too tief and filthy
Think dem safe dem don't got no safety
Hey

[Chorus:]
Protect us and bless us King Selassie's own
Babylon killing the people trying to take control
never leave us blessed Negus give us strength to endure
I will forever burn the wicked man, mi sure
Protect us and bless us King Emmanuel's own
Babylon killing the people trying to control
never leave us go before us give us strength to endure
I will forever burn the wicked

[Verse 1:]
Well it has been so many years inna slavery
Prime Minister dem nuh care because dem done inna folly
Elizabeth of England claim the authority
to keep the people and slave the people with Christianity
and John Pope and the church dem inna conspiracy
while di Governor General ah him ah govern di money
and wi di people in di ghetto has no liberty
give us repatriation, justice and equality

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
Yow,
this I say from di mat
Mi nah forgot di whip dem and di leg weh yuh ah cut
Prophet, Priest and King
Babylon di earth ah buss
Black woman start to sing mi tell unno seh look but no touch
yuh couldn't drive di vehicle so yuh guh drop inna di rut
yuh laws and legislation
whole a dem deh mi crush
pollute yuh owna people
what did yuh do amongst us?
Babylon yuh empire and yuh country corrupt
yuh cyaan ketch Kwaku
while binghi man ketch him shirt
and Babylon ah wear him pants
yuh see seh dat dem heart full a muck
Gwaan, binghi nyah, yuh tuff
yes,
gwaan black woman
yuh smooth yuh nuh rough

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
Well Judgement!
Babylon mi nuh figet yuh
dis one anno water from no pipe weh ah guh sprinkle
Rastaman ah chant and di western ah tremble
dis di youth dem want tell dem fi ever stay humble
tell dem get out of King's House wi come fi crown Selassie
Dem have yuh like a cat ah bounce inna bare rhapsody
mi tell unno gwaan ah Africa to unno Black Family
some a dem tell mi that dem won't when some ah tell mi 'probably'

[Chorus]

[Verse 1]
