Boy you could-a put on di wings of di morning an fly
There is no escape from King Selassie I
Dwelling in di uttermost parts of de sea
There is no escape from His Majesty

A long time he a tell you bout the dirty slavery
A long time he a tell you bout di brutality
A long time he a tell you bout di H.I.M. prophecied
Me warn you bout recent monarchy
Me warn you all about the Black liberty
Me warn you all bout we equality
Me warn you all bout Marcus Garvey
We beg you have fi love His Majesty
Selassie I, soul that take me
Selassie I, power a di Trinity
An X amount of nation bow don pon dem knee
No stop from beg an dem no stop from flee
An nowhere to run and there is (oh boy!)

Put on di wings of di morning an fly
There is no escape from King Selassie I
Dwelling in di uttermost parts of de sea
There is no escape from His Majesty

Here come that rudebwoy shit

Selassie I
We can all get by if we unify
Getting chinky-eyed off the stimuli
Blazin the cut
And all that good stuff
Six-three, walk with a strut
On these New York streets like, baby what
Anything can happen
It usually does
I'm from Staten
The Island
Peep me on G Street
Ticallion
Everything is real
Ain't nothin' funty
Counterfeit rapper have a bungee
He's in it or the munties

But you can't take it witcha when you die
Selassie I

If yuh open up di wings an tell dem fi exit
Cuz know Anti-Christ an now gon worship
Aye! Selai for di righteous an di wicked haffi perish
With dem religion and dem whole poli-tricks
Half di people dem a turn an half di people dem a twist
Now shoot dem dem love a hear trick dem cherish
Get em some M16 an some rusty 'matic
After de whole a dem from gone then push up dem fists
Leave de ship dem a strip yuh must get punish
Cyaan esape your judgement stand up (oh boy!)

Put on di wings of di morning an fly
There is no escape from King Selassie I
Dwelling in di uttermost parts of de sea
There is no escape from His Majesty (sowa!)

An one of these days
When yuh hear a voice say come
Den-a where yuh gonna run to (ohh, woy)
I said they gonna run to di rocks
An mountain but there will be no rock, no rock
They gonna run to di rocks
An mountain but there will be no rock (so what we say)

We got Shaolin in the area
Big up yourself, Black man
My brothers
Hell is the plan for the other
Discover, discover, discover
C'mon, c'mon
New lands for your man
And your family
Reminisce on back in the days
Can it be
It was all so simple then
We all kin
In Black skin
Original Don set the trend
Lets be men
If not for us
Then for the babies
The little ones
The revolution has now begun

Put on put on di wings of di morning an fly
There is no escape from King Selassie I
