Until the proud was casted down yah

You know, with his garments as white as snow
His hair as pure as wool

Praise ye Jah, hail di emperor-or-or

Praise ye Jah, hail di emperor-or-or-or

Just like Ashumba

A no Malcolm X an, Martin Luther dis
An Sizzla whey come fi trick, alla yuh tricks

Why yuh don't kill those
Standing on yuh pulpits, no
You use dem to steer di minds of di yout
An as dey preach
Di yout cease from knowin' di truth, but

But while yuh church defend di slackness as usual

Make it known to boys and girl
Just makes yuh brain for a time dem your worst
Well now talk 'bout Jesus, a who dat?
I know Him as the Nazerite
The offspring of King David (Selassie I)
Now come den Selassie I di other
Earth's rightful ruler, he's from di same line

Praise ye Jah, hail di emperor-or-or
Our King of Kings
To a fullness 'ave to express

Praise ye Jah, hail di emperor-or-or-or

Ay! You no see dem a ting dat from di Bible
Tink I no know you're amongst those
Who instigate slavery against my people, yeh
Only quote a few psalms so dat you could have to come we
We have a knowledge you know, we done perceive, oy
From start to finish I have to outline de fact
Is not Sunday, is Saturday we fi hold de Sabbath

Praise ye Jah, hail di emperor-or-or
Selassie I our King of Kings
To a fullness 'ave to express
Jah Jah that I always keep
Praise ye Jah, hail di emperor-or-or
King of Kings..
