Lyrics

Let Jah be praised an wicked men scatter
Listen to Buju, an Arcangel
(Love Rastafari)
Oh yes, ask dem
If you do wrong they complain
Even if we call the Father's name, its the same
What they want us to do?
Don't they know this is nothing new
Why won't they do what they want
And let me do my thing
You should be thankful
Their lights of hopedom are still shining
(Oh well)
Shining
If you do wrong they complain
Even if we call the Father's name, it's the same
What they want us to do?
Don't they know this is nothing new
Why won't they do what they want
And let me do my thing
You should be thankful
Their lights of hope are still shining
Shining
Let Jah rise an di heathen scatter
Haffi give thanks an praises no matta
Even if di flame is getting hotta an hotta
Everybody shud a know I doh believe inna rumour
Children arise from yuh sleep an slumber
Nuh come yah suh fi bow, wi deh yah suh fi conquer
Strictly love why yuh envy yuh brother
Nuh mek dem re-arrange you in a different manner
If you do wrong they complain
Even if we call the Father's name, it's the same
What they want us to do?
(Unnu hear dat?)
Don't they know this is nothing new
Why won't they do what they want
And let me do my thing
You should be thankful
Their lights of hopedom are still shining
(Unnu hear dat?)
Shining
Why shud I change to gain acceptance
Cyaan tell a next man how fi wear him pants
Lift up di name of Jah in abundance
So every single ting we do in life wi get a sentence
But we won't be like a flea
Just like a how di more we see
An di less yuh hear we speak
My brother don't you be like a stubborn sheep, I say
Blessed are he when man shall revile you
And persecute you
Say all manner of evil against you falsely
For Jah sake
Rejoice I say and be exceedingly glad
For great is your reward
For so persecute they
The prophets before you and me
If you do wrong they complain
Even if we call the Father's name, it's the same
What they want us to do?
Don't they know this is nothing new
Why won't they do what they want
And let me do my thing
They should be thankful
Their lights of hope are still shining
Shining
Let Jah rise an di heathens scatter
Haffi give thanks an praises no matta
Even if di flame is getting hotta an hotta
Everybody shud a know I doh believe inna rumour
Children arise from yuh sleep an slumber
Nuh come yah suh fi bow, wi deh yah suh fi conquer
Strictly love why yuh envy yuh brother
Nuh mek dem re-arrange you in a different manner
If you do wrong they complain
Even if we call the Father's name, it's the same
What they want us to do?
Don't they know this is nothing new
Why won't they do what they want
And let me do my thing
They should be thankful
Their lights of hope are still shining
Shining
Wrong they complain
Even if we call the Father's name, it's the same
What they want us to do?
Don't they know this is nothing new
Why won't they do what they want
And let me do my thing
They should be thankful
Their lights of hope are still shining
Shining
