Yah Blessed

Yah man black people

African people just one love and one joy you know

Check it

So we go

Chorus:

A lot of people don't got no good in a them and me see it

The wicked a go drop off like ripe leaf

Nuff a them no got no love in a them, how you do it ?

That mean you wouldn't give the ghetto youths food fi eat

Nuff a them no got no love in a them and me see it

The heathen a go drop off like ripe leaf

Nuff a them no got no love in a them, how you do it ?

Verse 1:

That mean you would a scorn the ghetto youths well

Well a who got the matches ?

Who got the gasoline ?

Youths clear the passage

Cause a fire me deh dash

Like a macca marijuana

Tell them me ask

Nuff a them a it me find out

Nuff a them a happen

Nuff boy turn your friend just through cash

Laugh and a pretend then a stab you in the back

Well me humble, a wait,

Meekly a watch into the fire

Way deh blaze nuff a them a keep back

You run gone go dig you pit and set up them trap

A bear wolf a go under the lock

So King Emmanuel put on me turban wrap

So them yah time Babylon you must get lash

Like a tomato you must get splash

Them a chant bout me poor through me clothes full a patch

And through them pull a door and got a key to them lock

Well Babylon Jesse Christ him blackk

Chorus

Verse 2:

Find out the devil send them fi me hang them

Well Babylon you lose cause I nah pretend

Well a who go bend them fi me come straight them

Caan follow I, nor the Lion in a the den

Tell me now a who go friend them fi me go shame them

With Selassie I free Emmanuel anthem

Well then a who go strenght them

To misled Jah children

Babylon this never yet no problem

Yow, a some skunk them

Come we go dump them

The wicked man tell me who do you praise ?

The Alien

In them yah time yah

Me sey a them they got to bless

Fire got to bless

Chorus:

Verse 3:

Well then I live for Jah all my days

And if a no King Selassie you deh praise well the heathen a go rage

Fire me deh blaze

So me tell them sey

Them a the real hypocrite

Them caan take me fire them a walk and a spit

Through no wicked I no subject did nah commit

Them only rob the poor then go bow to the rich

Me find out a hatred nuff a practice

Mister Scrapehead just come fi you justice

Cause everyday you devise some mischief

Now rude boy you ready cos things done sleve
