Damian:
Boom
Ah yute an yute fe have a plan
An have some ambition
An mek sure unuh firm ina de Armagedeon
So when ur son become ah man
Im know jus where u stan
Im know im poopa set it
So im follow tradition
If Marcus Garvey seh fe read
Den wey some man ah pre?
Cause knowledge ah de key
An it wi set de people free
An Haile High philosophy
Is African unity
Unuh wan jus segregation and social impurity
De race is not jus for the swift
But those who can endure
Mek sure u have a steady footin inna Zion door
And keep ur thoughts dem pure
Jah Love is for de poor
But some likkle bwoy ah bus some gun dem mooma cant afford
If Jah seh blood fe run
Then Jah will be done
De heaven an de Earth wi pass away before Im word no come
But if Im pause without ah cause
There will be no reward
For u to enter Zion gates
Because u are a fraud
Stephen:

Ooh yeah

Damian:

If one from every nation
Cyah come live up and ah par
So dont care who u are
Theres a brighta mornin star
Its shinin, wake de town
An tell de people near an far
U seek an U wi search
Wid science and research
De flesh, it is the temple
An the temple, is de church
Haile Selassie seh fe work
So how some man ah lurks
Turn fixture pon dem cornerside,
Like rubbish heap an dirt
Haile Selassie seh ah one
Respect fe every man
Nuh care de race,
Nuh care de color,
Nor de religion
So mek ah decision
Fe bun de division
Cause each an every rasta yute fe trod pon de mission
