And endorse di ghetto yute dem, make dem well bright

You nuh seet seh poor people a get wise?

Unnuh ramp with me again

Endorse di ghetto yute dem, make dem well bright

Jerusalem shall rise

You nuh seet seh Jah Jah people a get wise? Oh

The game up and down just like a yo-yo

Me smoke me sensimilla and full enjoy di show

Babylon speed up so me haffi move slow

Dem sell me lack a knowledge but me lack dem with di flow

Dem teach me to say yes and me still a say no

Dem tell me fi stop and me still go

Dem tell me fi cut and me still grow

Cah Rastafari say so

Me a praise King Selassie I

And endorse di ghetto yute dem, make dem well bright

Africa shall rise

You nuh seet seh poor people a get wise?

Unnuh ramp with me again

King Selassie I

Endorse di ghetto yute dem, make dem well bright

Jerusalem shall rise

You nuh seet seh Jah Jah people a get wise? Whoa

The road to Zion rocky but we still a walk

We move outta Babylon dem still a talk

We keep the fire burning and dem shut it off so

Back it off now, judgement time now

Emperor Selassie I rule the earth

I and I bright from birth

No handcuff pon mi wrist

No blood pon mi shirt

Babylon, mi heart still a hurt

So me praise King Selassie I

And endorse di ghetto yute dem, make dem well bright

Africa shall rise

You nuh seet seh poor people a get wise?

Unnuh ramp with me again

King Selassie I

Endorse di ghetto yute dem, make dem well bright

Jamaica shall rise

You nuh seet seh Jah Jah people a get wise? Whoa

Dem drop down dem soul

Me nah drop down mi faith

Babylon cries, betta sit down and wait

Cah me well sekkle and me just keep it straight

You reach likkle bit too late

Gwan and praise King Selassie I

And endorse di ghetto yute dem, make dem well bright

Africa shall rise

You nuh seet seh poor people a get wise?

Unnuh ramp with me again

King Selassie I

Endorse di ghetto yute dem, make dem well bright

Jerusalem shall rise

You nuh seet seh Jah Jah people a get wise? Whoa

Give thanks and praise to The Most High, see me a say?
