Exalt the Crown
04:28

Staying afloat in the pressing stream
Holding onto the buoyancy of stability
About what the means in a work put in
When love is the linking a topography complete
Make sure say that when that one day call you reach
In either a mass communication or pon two feet
That’s how want and need a go eat and sleep
Without anxiety wreaking the peace
This is the world billion dollar industry
Chemical industry from how people feel
Chemical imbalance setting in
When cooperation and unity invade the deep
Places of dissonance and bring relief
I exalt the crown for methods he spoke out
And them nah say love, they nah say live
If they what they want is break and down
The build and up will block a sound
The hearted people praise the crown
The festival look like a rasta town
The children of prestige and affluence also
Working for I-manity causes with the gusto
Expenditure their resources and energy to the also
Natural link up the youth Jamaica from Cruz
Musical consumption of complete whole food
You have music weh pleasant and music weh rude
Some even go say they music is pleasantly rude
From that’s how them select it when them select them mood
But I exalt the crown
I exalt the crown x2
For methods he spoke out
The money demanding question it no ease
From the entire spectrum a fe seet pan repeat
Don’t warn fe get them goals in a life defeat
Situational enemy hostility
Stay apart until them can meet with civility
Ave a shortness of reason visibility
About the big picture life waan fi free
Haile Selassie I His Majesty heal clarity
About the step weh fi take place be
Concerning education directionally
From is Black Melchezideck again Haile
The morphogenic grid of the whole world be
Inna de first souls of the soul of the Almighty
Grateful and thankful all the day be
Don’t always how to relate how relate be
Choice from the garden your destiny
I exalt the crown x2
From them nah say love, them nah say life
If what they want is break and down
The build them up will block a sound
The hearted Rasta praise the crown
I exalt the Crown
For totality he spoke it out
I exalt the Crown
Inna any endeavor ah go gi Jah a honor
Inna business and pleasure ah go gi Jah a honor
Inna refinement in a raw ah go gi Jah a honor
When it’s to you I dem a hollah a go gi Jah a honor
For the crowning principles of the Emporer
Put in everything you got inna go gi Jah a honor
Watch contagion a conquer when you gi Jah a honor
Ana nothing den no wha run go gi Jah a honor
Exalt the Crown x2
I Exalt the Crown

Hail King Selassie I
CHORUS:
Mek the best of wah dey on ya
It’s a struggle out ya
A lot a barrier out ya
A lot a warrior out ya
A central core a cylinder of honor
Respect and recognition of one another
Rasta try that way de ya
Try that way de ya
When the other consequence bigger
Try that way de ya
A little work hard pull together
Try that way de ya
The principle live forever
Try that way de ya
The sun returned on the dial back ten degrees
Mariners sending soundings into the valley of the fathom of the deep
The ark is with the architect
Haile Selassie I the maker in His hands ave it a keep
Feeling powerless the earthly beings
The aftermath of empathy inna catastrophes
Sending helping hands to bring comfort and to bring relief
Sympathy awaken I humanities
Inna recognition of the mist of human frailties
The life thread is ever ina delicacy
Within the elements of infinity
Every moment is as thanksgiving chance to see
Waking up healthy is a blessed speech
The metro commute commotion of big cities
As soon as they feel threatened they run go haul fe steel
Fully knowing the truth of how thing ave done set in
When is already epidemic is safe they want fe feel
Respect is elevated in how to walk between
CHORUS REPEAT
If it is practice the rudest of shocking desecration speak
And is jungle self defense how the compel feel
That’s how it Jah know it gone already on already the streets
When it get difficult to feel any some one real
And then this is the tension some a hold in seal
A lion on to the city technocratic bureaucracy
Is the one and one basis walking in between
Dem trusting ina the wisdom of crowds in the cold concrete
Say the ever riding prevailing current is destiny
But look how the very firmament a disagree
Geology mek you socialite club culture look like popcorn spree
Compared to the large scale world difficulty
That must be the comedy fe keep the people at ease
The running train of excess must be bridle in
Diplomacy and sharing is how you ago tap in
Rational people a try link up for necessities
CHORUS REPEAT

Itektion in this time
Itektion everytime
Upheaval is turning over in this time
Everyday you get up a morning and get a new surprise
A different political terrain, right before your eyes
Taking shape, in the time
CHORUS:
Just keep good relations
Mongst I & I more time
Mout Zion I more time
A Mount Zion I more time
Mongst I & I more time
Their pride is wounded
A correspondent had them responding
Didn’t know the tape was still running
The sinister tone the emails carried
After requested expert for analysis
And a after they tested
Protestation a remove things in a palaces
Subterranean a deeper than a secret
Electronic betrayal the court receipt is
CHORUS
Desperation proportion of a body politic
The internet what fed them perspective
chaotic need fe know them need a alternative
Before you all go break down and tear down everything
Uno ave fe ave some kind a plan of how to proceed in
Them ave a ripple effect distabalizing everything
CHORUS
All economies all nations will be affected
Every similar situation now is panicking
Wondering if violent repression will be needed
All now is weda if is to vacate the premises
The thresh hold break between passivity and resist
Them send the blood hounds when them smell secret accounts
And then the masses right now set out fe work it out
The after math stability was hope alone
Pundits called it mob rule and throwing stones
That the play by play is still in play let that be known
No nation can be arrogant and go look down dem nose
CHORUS

Earth is the Lords
04:26

On to the King of Kings
The earth is the Lord’s and the world is his plan
VERSE 1
Universal human fight need consultation
The forces show the force of instant devastation
That means every moment is precious and useful
Seek sincerity and action highest expression
Search out the root of a matter well before you rush to judgment
Again and still the words of the Emperor Abyssinian
Speak to judgment the world situation solution
First and second class citizens ina every nation
What don’t you ovastand ova stand no man
Haile I Selassie I the First as Jahovah ina man
Abraham to the twelve tribes into every nation
Into the peak operational technological
Onto grounds man and harvest Rasta to every one
The earth is the Lord’s and the world is his plan
Critical delineation I can hear them now
Fine tuning dialectics, discussing the how
But the how without know is a stray out loud
There’s a stray out loud high official mouth
Resource is the truth in the Root of what it’s all about
In the first place they wouldn’t be able to suppress such a freedom shout
If you hadn’t supplied them the arms to assert dictator clout
Always tell you with the very important piece left out
It just business the exportation of weapon who’s the biggest bout
Supply the third world disparity wid nozzle for gasoline guns out
Overly ambitiously trying to sweep the world house out
Wid rebellion among friends and allies they paint white the house
Calcination and pacification, purification they saying, kinetic
burn them out , Burn them out
Innocent blood shed from the valley to the alley ina Tivoli
Waiting for a spectacle of sorcerer word transfusion
How them ago speak up to justify such naked aggression
How many details can your sound bite fill in
The chairman of the board of war time contractors
Making sure order invader investor the thing
Confident desperation ina the military wing
The highest generals of tactical application reluctant
Knowledge of the danger ina de field urging caution
Turn round mek it an issue of gender oblivion
With strong presumption assertion
It’s like a policy of hit first and then try to ovastand
Simultaneously having a systemic transformation
Socialism is the backbone of the bail out plan
Meritocracy within theocracy monarchy constitutional
Abba Janhoy Abba Kiddus and I will publish the righteous goal
I focus the eye in I and I to strive
Them a step pon working man pride wid pure big time
Haile I Haile I Haile I
A short tactical operation how they narrow it down
They say these are the ideological root of the danger zone
Wish to put any objection as an obstacle out of the land and home
Then again who live by the sword again die by the sword, seen.
REPEAT VERSE 1
The earth is the Lord’s
The earth is the Lord and the world is his plan
The earth is the Lord and the world is his plan world is his plan

Economics getting stiffer so they a fe go develop something
To keep eating from just to keep surviving

Your system a peak outa world conscience
Selassie I of knowledge the wealth so drink of the well
Starting outa who gidem people fe sell
Where does that leave the black man in the west
Haile Selassie I the first of Ethiopians say yes
Watch the middle east vibration Israel
The Principle of the king is steady advancing
The whole thing still come down to one signature executive
Them coulda name Prime Minister Premier President or anything
I say singularly leadership for cohesion purposes
Is wether them is a democracy or a republic
Or some semblance of the two things intertwined
Them say them a capitalist really a socialist
When the government supplement all national industry and control it
Universal human rights already spoke gifts
Now humanize and civilize what you approach is
From the time them pen to paper laws wid them goose quill
You can see where the supreme court show them prejudice
CHORUS
Your immediate frame of reference is shortsighted
As state by state contagion is setting
Ina Libya the revolution coincide with
Tempestuous weather conditions and a delayed ship
As poitents in history are not to be played with
With socio-economic conditions stagnated
Your concessions at the podium are belated
How do you condemn a ripple effect and topple your own interests?
Between rock stone and a hard place with damage to acess
They naw leggo dem grip ina selfishness yet
Forget the Africans ina the root of how you gather your wealth
Resources confiscated and people dispossessed
And can’t seem to get back their dignity yet
Like the whole world ready fe go down ina bad man flex
Disruption and blockage of email and text
You dun pay all your money and you still get disconnect
Have people they fe figure out how you habla dialect
A pressure the middle class outa tax fe collect
Like the knock out the wind outa the middle solar plex
How much people a go tek before people get vex
Them see the volatility climate and button still a press
Not to mention the press how them beat down the press
Rasta order unu fe humble and quickly issues address
Like everywhere is war and random dead
And anarchists a love it how the chaos a spread
CHORUS

Chu them naw go break us down

As long as of Jah it is given
When sometimes draw around
And conditions in town seek to draw you out
Holding a corner or participate ina wha gwan ya
Could you give and take ina such an offer
Then mek it fruitify and live out yah
CHORUS:
Have you heard Rasta at all
How people standing tall
Defend them home a yard
And defend them pride abroad
And industrious righteous hearts
Preparing the yude fe all
Yes they name call ina Jah roll call
As people mek the best and gwan
Ethiopia is a jewel, a jewel ina Africa Horn, a jewel ina Africa Horn
Jah say if you love me feed I sheep
And they betray their idealistic greed
Suppliers mus feel for the world in need, in need
Demanders mus meet the obligation speed
Tell to the masses you mus put equity to lead
His Majesty spoke universally complete, Complete
CHORUS
Nough time migration was from the pressurization sufferation
Nough time adaptation a come down between joy and cataclyzum
Before man adjusted the spliff burn down
And still deep ina the meditation
Nough time courses dun set must be run
Like the sparks from brain neurons
Realignment must be fulfilled under the sun
And truth of how man should treat his same self one
Each one is a self same one
But corruption spill over, over run
Every military foreign strong man
Program them instinct upon weapon
Nough a it nawgo stop it, it a ave fe gwan, and so on

It hurt your heart sometimes
Man weh speak it bittersweet
Man weh speak it bittersweet, bittersweet
Rasta Fari give I and I the means
To get through these times of rapid shifting prophecy
Who ina the future will they be
Media ova drive a feed them negation qualities
Well how dare I am to speak
If repercussions on the ground prove it no good fe none of we
If statistical demographics a bear witness openly
Sociology and economy a tell the whole story
It’s not wether you say you know nor wether you say you see
Prisoners know freedom is a dangerous ideology
It was the wretched of the earth ina enslavement poverty
And they popping off explosively recently
Bittersweet
Man weh speak it bittersweet
Man weh speak it bittersweet, yeah
Bittersweet
Til it even look like follow fashional copy
When courage is breaking international boundary
They better study infrastructural methodology
The trade deficits of the world are of trade necessity
Bittersweet, man weh speak it bittersweet
International diplomacy masterpiece
Interaction and approach to all these
In Royal attire and finely tuned gentilities
His Imperial Majesty stand up and chastise the Leauge
Bittersweet
So now a go visit His speech and then visit reality
The accuracy to Hitler and to Mussulini
because of serene demeanor level balance of speech
Gone go think man fe soft and think man fe weak
And end up ina clashaclism end up ina defeat
Ethiopia victory did Bitter Sweet
Bittersweet, bittersweet, bittersweet
Man weh speak it bittersweet, bitter sweet
Haile Selassie I
They thought they would be happy to see so many seeking democracy
Without knowing their internal consensus mentality
But interruption of the trade routes that bring them stability
Prices on the rise because of inaccessibility
These are the actualities that make things bitter sweet
When really reach affecting immediacy
So farmers know say ‘yes now is the time fe dweet’
Yes I and I a fe eat so mus dweet
Bittersweet, bittersweet, bittersweet ina me speech
Bittersweet, bittersweet, bittersweet. Speech.

Looking into effectiveness focus fe live
When the prices are sky rocketing meteoric
Them ave calculus a tally ina cost and risk
And ave poor people rights ina the world diminish
An ave the whole world a suspect apon a watch list
Like the newly destitute and the hungry from since
Them ave damage control ina the broadcasting
Them no sure if the high official is story telling
Come concerned wid the state of them national image
Well is nough maga dog bite ina politics
It’s the same who support them evade and evict
World poverty stop tek lick and start share lick
And even ina the danger them spirits up lift
Well is affluence and power now is burning chronic
Like the ancient position that the present revisit
Man of leisure and social standing ina a heap a covet
Like a spliff how them ball up ina little tight clique, little tight clique
Repeat Verse 1:
Wha them ave it now fe do
nano micro biotic merge man wid machine

Man no know if it’s man or android speaking

Which resulting ina top spin ina different head spin
Is not everything drop in aga be a good thing
Well I hope is not because vexation a keep them limited
It will run loose chaotic ina havoc wreaking

Man fe apply all that mind spin ina some problem solving

Verse 1:
Just a word of admonition, seen
Poverty a no nothing fe mock and scorn
When people a manage fe cope go on
Anything come to placement ina your side a thorn
Feel much worse when the stress is on
So when the people resort to corn
Them bun dat everywhere in earth it’s on
Especially when lion ave fe lay down wit lamb
Careful little child ave to hold your hand
So no chuck it like a simpleton
Ina ration and ova stand
The ideal the moral the faith demands
Ain’t nothing waving no magic wand
Faith and work ina combination
Situation can change so fast
For who went from first to last
On the broadcast, it was on the broadcast
Hear what Rasta drum saying
Disturbance ova food
these times are harsh and rude
You have five year old national catastrophes where help still cant reach yet
As if the world forget
They wandering relocate recollect
Border to border refugee in neglect
With the host country in economic trouble themselves
A collective vibration for the good of where you dwell
In the occupational tightening of belts
It hurt people suffering to see wasted extravagance
Repeat Verse 1:
Don’t visit your neighbor
Wid food fat on your mouth in famine
If after you only knock the door when dinner concluded
These are the mentions of everyday live
The whole thing ave in take and give
Yes of course it’s still choice prerogative
Until desperate measures bring different tidings
The cycle of preparation is in diverse changes
Right now are blowing in the wind
Is more man regard the wisdom of the King of Kings

A gamble like splintering a pool pyramid on the table
A super nova ina stardust style

Today the world know what it’s like
To depend on a little in life

Or so it seem to the poverty crime
Chorus:
From how the evidence of earth is inclined
To blow holes ina anything life?

Hope is not to live and feel bad inside
Thank Jah RasTafari fe the simplify
The attitude towards living ones in life
Universal declaration of human rights
Nyabingi beating in their body combine
Looking ina the heart law to observe the mind
Sometimes they steer clear to one side aside
Chorus:

When you know say that you is that’s when you show you not
When ina the ghetto red hot is self defense in that
Still a try avoid the plot dun deep in the plot
Some of them only ave joy when them pocket fat
Them ave friends and clientele enemy and lover
Family and all associates double and triple to dat
Each one is a system not just the one you see singular
A city built upon embattlements should ave regard for
To the blank slate

No investment to protect they protect no one
Should it reach them to protect human potential
When the whole celebrity strata is the child of immigrant
From the country root foundation and inception
And them acquire them acquisition outta bad man gang
And all new immigrant wey set down join the same program
It was defenseless inna de jungle it was survival
It was like something one coulda see on a nature channel
It was sweatshop child labor, rodent infestation
Inna collision with Native American call puritan
And them state say they was running away from persecution
And do worser than who dem say they just run way from
Dem erase dem do wrong, now it’s logo dem pon
Inna the national park and inna de recreation
And then after dem wreck it dem a shout “praise god”
But the new name Haile Selassie I the first on the land
Recent history keep them in check if dem dare speak wrong
Numerous betrayal of the charter wha they signature pon
It was morphing same idea with a new appearance
CHORUS
Lobby dipping loopholes inna de law outta wealth arrogance
From it’s class we all fear the shape of the armageddeon
But the elements no respect shanty nor mansion

Well it’s just someone to help lift a heavy load
Ina new economy type of a can’t afford
Ina the blessed is the child that ago ave his own
Winter colder and summer hotter and neva see before

The counsel that topple the false hood upon seven hill, seven hill
If I and I humble to order in still
It’s because the King of Kings say so is the right thing say HIM
Give Rasta His counsel mek the world drink, come make the whole world mind drink

Work in rhythm
The fields work in rhythm x2
Kemetic do it ina sowing and ina harvesting
Is new tenacious life ina earth ya now fe welcome in
The first rays of the season the seventh month feasting
The eldest matriarch ina the village is presiding
Is under joy of spirit how the harps them sing
It’s the quickening
Don’t fall off how the ball now a spin
How the globe now a spin
In the quickening
Nano second reductionist seeking the root of exist
Wid a type of ideological economic eugenics
Them will draw back the ladder and show the whole news clip
The quickening, quickening

And they say how they ignorant so
And approach them wid torpedo
As a quicker way fe get the gold
Wid a guilty generation woe
About what them inherit ya so

When it’s nough leaders misled corrupt
Iya nough pre-eminent vice
Riot gear and police sirens and prices soaring into heights
People will have to lean on culture so kallalo bush resurge you right
Can’t remember how fe mek abmoula out yucca cassava how fe dry it
Them a watch little lcoser the ways of the elders
When these times force economize
From that dey elder is the I Grandfather de I sitting right next to the whole archives
Storage and syphon value all times
Categorize some nah go sympathize
But if you have love returning eye to eye
It is the first impact how DNA splice
What’s to love about what’s to like
It get heated ina celcius and farenheit
And when rationality dun a lose the fight
It coulda ina politic, It coulda domestic
It’s the trinity root of a family life
How bio chemical genetics synchronize
Parent have fe strong with strong-willed child
Because anything wrong it’s fe cry out your eye
Principles have a body of outcomes from the longest time
And the book of rules there to sight
Ina foresight and ina hindsight
Them ave everything pon tantalize
When people jump in and sink you sight
Yes a warning is written on the back you right
Repeat Verse 1
