|
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] |
