Now when you're driving your Benz or your Jaguar

Give thanks and praise this on to the almighty Father 'cause him is the all fun here maker

Shags man 'bout here

I naw your mother, I naw your father (Ooh do you hear me)

I naw your sister, I naw your brother (Ooh do you hear me)

Love thyself as well as thy neighbor

Hand inna the air and read the Holy Scripture, me bawl

Kymani Marley

Chorus:

Give thanks and praise to the Father

Yes him a the heaven and the earth rightful ruler (Ooh do you hear me)

Give thanks and praise to the Father

Yes him a the heaven and the earth rightful ruler

SHAGGY

Well I and I can't believe weh gwaan pon the father land

All the troubles and the trial and the tribulation, behold

Is in trouble, come inna starvation

You see them spend the money pon the nuclear weapon

Wish a segregation and seperate the nation

How can you judge a man by him complexion

You see them deh ya come, come oppress the youth man

Put your hand inna the air and praise the almighty one

And just...

Kymani Marley

SHAGGY

So that again day-long shall be longer

You see them deh ya disrespect them elder, ay

Man as a youth man I got to prosper

Denegation is the key, what is the key to open law

Them know why you bought no book a, only call the mafia

On the way to make it now is just to be a hustler

We go back some croquette and plant some ganja

Some a them a work round and bleed while people chatter

And that's how brought them up twenty baby mother

Can support fashimist, can support a diaper

Can support a nobiliar, support a sorter

Come, come take it from Shaggy, the rub-a-dub teacher

Oo loodof

Kymani Marley

Chorus:

Give thanks and praise to the Father

Yes him a the heaven and the earth rightful ruler (Ooh do you hear me)

Give thanks and praise to the Father

Yes him a the heaven and the earth rightful ruler

SHAGGY

I man deh ya as one of Jah disciples

Get up every man and read the Holy Bible

Listen to the preach around the top brand noddle(ME)

I and I man choose good over all evil

Kill me dead, another black man shall live as thief

On the way fi get me now him shoot me with a rifle

So wa
