Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Give us the teaching of Marcus Garvey
Kebra Nagast means glory of kings
Give I and I Selassie I, and keep the images of lies
For yourself
People without a vision perish like suicide
[Verse 2]
You tell me it's not about color
Still you refuse to take the picture off the wall
All you do is trick the brothers and keep them confused
They don't know who to call on, in this spiritual war
[Verse 3]
Now tell me, have a paradise in the sky, well that's a lie
And now tell me, I was born in sin and shaped in iniquity
When love created I
Look how many prophets tried to open our eyes
You can't fool me
[Verse 4]
Look how they're treating us
New millennium slavery
Hiding the chains and still beating us daily
Now we mentally poisoned to fight with black skin
Bleaching all the in thing, far out and far in sin
[Verse 5]
You tell me it's not about color
Still you refuse to take the picture out your books
I know that's not how he looks, kush
All you do is trick the brothers and keep them confused
They don't know who to call on, in this heretical war
[Verse 6]
Don't tell me, have a paradise in the sky, and that's a lie
And no tell me
I was born in sin and shaped in iniquity
When love created I
Look how many prophets tried to open our eyes
You can't fool me
Kadamawe, Kadamawe, Kadamawe
[Verse 7]
Give us the teaching of Marcus Garvey
Kebra Nagast means glory of kings
Give I and I Selassie I, and keep the images of lies
For yourself
People without a vision perish like suicide
[Verse 8]
You tell me it's not about color
Still you refuse to take the picture off the wall
All you do is trick the brothers and keep them confused
They don't know who to call on, in this heretical war
[Verse 9]
Now tell me, have a paradise in the sky, well that's a lie
Don't you tell me
I was born in sin and shaped in iniquity
Love created I
Look how many prophets tried to open our eyes
Na fool me
Kadamawe, Kadamawe, Kadamawe
So no tell me
[Verse 10]
Have a paradise in the sky, well that's a lie
And no tell me
I was born in sin and shaped in iniquity
When Jah created I
Look how many prophets tried, look how many prophets tried
