You gotta hold the faith, gotta hold the faith, gotta hold the faith
whoa
In order to enter Zion gate,
You gotta hold the faith gotta hold the faith gotta hold the faith whoa
In a world of lust, greed, and nuff hate,
You gotta hold the faith, gotta hold the faith whoa
Show love so that it can penetrate,
You gotta hold the faith gotta hold the faith gotta hold the faith whoa
Give praises, yo me say burn the fake
I see the truth start spreading
Mek the youth start living up
Mek a new start even a when it a ruff aye, aye
The truth start spreading up
Mek the youth start living up
Mek a new start really mek dem tough aye, aye
Seek the truth if you want to get enlightened yo
Me tell the ghetto youth to stop the fighting yo
Cause it is written in a deh book in writing yo
That all wicked man will get a smiting yo
If you can't take deh heat the sun will brighten yo
Because, you nah do the right thing yo
Stop the hate you better stop the blighting yo
Oh pick up on some thunder and lighting yo,
You gotta hold the faith, gotta hold the faith, gotta hold the faith
whoa
In order to enter Zion gate,
You gotta hold the faith gotta hold the faith gotta hold the faith whoa
Show love so that love can penetrate,
You gotta hold the faith gotta hold the faith gotta hold the faith whoa
Show love to people that is so great
You gotta hold the faith, gotta hold the faith whoa
My Lord, a tell dem all again
It's been so long and plus we came a far way,
But I man still remember like it was yesterday
How we use to work and did a never get no pay
Out in a deh fields collecting cotton and hay
'Bout slavery, Babylon what can you say?
It causing animosity up to this day
But still me want the people to humble and to pray
The skies will not stay gray
Don't waste time, it waits on no man
Every second, every time do the best that you can
Elevate the Chakras of the spine, only if you knew man
Faith and love combine change you to a new man
The family really wants to know what we're gonna do and
Who you gonna check, who you gonna know
What will be the new plan
Can't buy nah sell when the money stop flow
Dem call it doomsday, just live life pure and pray
Just chant, mek we burn a fire pon Babylon
Chant, mek we burn a fire pon a folly man
Chant, praise King Selassie I as the higher man
Whether you a Bobo or a Nya man
Me tell you just chant, mek we burn fire pon Babylon
Chant, we no inna dat deh with the Taliban
Chant, tell dem say Selassie I is the King yo
And good vibes may deh bring,
You gotta hold the faith, gotta hold the faith, gotta hold the faith
whoa
In order to enter Zion gate,
You gotta hold the faith gotta hold the faith gotta hold the faith whoa
Knowledge is golden, for the youths dem, yeah
Do not believe what is there to be believed
But know what you need to know,
The universal message is there to see
With experience you grow,
Ladies and Gentlemen, master awareness
Move fearless, not careless
Most definitely let your words be kept away
From evilous elements that corrupt your conscience
Learn without no regrets, life is good, hate is death, yea, hey
Keep your head straight, don't fake in life
You always got to have faith
Watch the step you take or the bread you bake or every slice on each cake
Yo to reach that place you must elevate your mind and your mental state
That's the only thing that's gone take you through the gate.
You gotta hold the faith, gotta hold the faith, gotta hold the faith
whoa
In order to enter Zion gate,
You gotta hold the faith gotta hold the faith gotta hold the faith whoa
Jah Rastafari, ever living, ever sure.
