Selassie I... Thunder rod (yeah), lightning,

Flashing... (mi know) stars and the moon shining... Mi know,

Mi know, mi know, mi knowwww... mi know dem fear me,

Mi know... mi know, mi know, mi know, mi know...

Me hear dem sit dung and dem time fi hear dead, time fi hear mi dead

Fell off and nyam di fish and bread

But, I'm sipping Hennessey and smoking all mi get, smoking all mi get

And have dem gyal inna mi bed

Again...

Me know dem sit dung and dem time fi hear mi dead, time fi hear mi dead

Fell off and nyam di fish and bread

But, I'm sipping Hennessey and smoking all mi get, smoking all mi get

(Selassie I...) And have dem gyal inna mi bed...

I'm so far, my main spars dem no near mi

Singing my song to let my enemies hear mi

Still dem man huff up and ah pits like a cherry

When da business so big, the whole ah we can share it

Some ah make ah bag ah talk, and dem sound contrary

One bag of nighs, the fans can hear clearly

After sing, mi ah sing my life story

Whole of dem mark and ah ploy fi take my glory

But dey could never, never stop their mate

We stamp love in dem bandmind endeavor

Dem aim fi dem bad-ah, dem change like the weather

Dem mind corrupt, and dem life like feather! I-I-I-I-I-I...

Me hear dem sit dung and dem time fi hear dead, time fi hear mi dead

Fell off and nyam di fish and bread

But, I'm sipping Hennessey and smoking all mi get, smoking all mi get

And have dem gyal inna mi bed

Again...

Me hear dem sit dung and dem time fi hear dead, time fi hear mi dead

Fell off and nyam di fish and bread

But, I'm sipping Hennessey and smoking all mi get, smoking all mi get

And have dem gyal inna mi bed

I don't knowww... what dem sit dung and dem ah make talk bout

And ah laughs about my life, show me thru glass wall?

But see all di glory fi yuh ways is ah disaster

And dat make corruption gone past what?

Make dem knowww... mi album out now... everybody know mi

Corruptist come salt ah road and try dem test me, sue me

And I stay di same way, mi doubt did deh dem ah go do mi

And ah plan up with mi enemies to put some coppa thru me

Forgive dem Jah, cause dem nuh know what dem done

I, man David slew Goliath, so I'm one of your son

One of your hurts could never past, so I cyaan go dung

Noo! Nuh go dowwnnnnnn!...

I'm so far, mi main spar dem nuh no near mi

Singing my song to let my enemies hear mi

Still dem ah come, and dem man huff like ah cherry

Business so big the whole ah we can share it

Some ah make ah bag ah talk, sound contrary

One bag of nighs, fans can hear clearly

After sing, mi ah sing my life story

Plan dem!... and try take mi glory

My heart freeeeee... I'm sooo free, so free

Like the birds in the tree

Yeah dem yute we can be what we wanna be, wanna be, beee

No badmind me, cause of my voice

No badmind to di girl dem say mi nice

No badmind me, no badmind me

Can't thump mi on mi face, cause yuh haffi think twice

Don't badmind me cause of my voice

Don't badmind me... Rasta...
