La Foto de Selassie I

The words that come out of my
Mouth summon
A crowd
To start meeting
The words I say
And I don't force you
To listen to them nor are they to
Intimidate you
I know you like it and what
We do and say doesn't scare you
Because you are
Right in the place and the
Time to realize
That it's for sale or discounted
Given away you have shown that you are
Good
Really goooood

With the photo of Selassie I
That I have stuck on the wall
For Maui Marshall we play
It's the power of Rasta

Many came and told us
That we had to remove the photo, but
Our elders blessed us
And already gave us the vision to act, yes
The suffering in this time
Made us realize
That what is needed to understand
Haile Selassie I

With the photo of Selassie I
That I have stuck on the wall
For Maui Marshall we play
It's the strength of the Rasta

The words that come out of my mouth summon
A crowd to start meeting
The words I say and I don't force you
To listen to them nor are they to intimidate you
I know you like it and what we do and say doesn't scare you
Because you are right in the place and the time
To realize that it's for sale or discounted
Given away you have shown that you are good really goooood!
