Lyrics
Negusa nagast
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
L'homme a créé des Dieux l'inverse tu rigoles
Croire c'est aussi fumeux que la ganja
Tire sur ton joint pauvre rasta
Et inhale tes paraboles
Là-bas en Ethiopie est une sombre idole
Haïlé Sélassié négus roi des rois
Descendant de Moïse à ce qu'en croient
Certains quant à moi je les crois sur parole
Des esclaves le protègent sous de noirs parasols
Du ciel blanc d'Addis-Abeba
À ses pieds un lionceau emblème de Juda
Symbole
Dans son lointain palais le négus s'isole
Prisonnier après un nouveau coup d'État
Peut-être passé par les armes va savoir qui ou quoi
Demande donc à la C.I.A. ou Interpol
