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]
