Got To Be There |
| Well the greetings in the name of the Most High, you know |
| Selassie I |
| I wonder how some guy waan fi see the rain |
| And nah waan fi go through the rainbow |
| Nah walk with faith rude bwoy |
| Check this now |
| Come all the world fi get commotion |
| That’s why they come and sing their strange song |
| Nuff no practice what they preach and heed to temptation |
| Back in content dem say a want dead rose |
| But I and I-man working to be there |
| When those gates of Zion a close |
| Oh, I’ve got to be there |
| Beenie Man is working to be there |
| When those gates of Zion a close |
| Oh, I’ve got to be there |
| Oh, Jah Jah, whoa |
| I am who I am and not who they want I to be-e-eeee, oh yeah |
| I’m working to reach that same sweet hollow tree |
| Don’t want to caught up in their greed and distress |
| I’m designed not to get caught up in their filthiness |
| But I and I-man working to be there |
| When those gates of Zion a close |
| Oh, I’ve got to be there |
| Rastafarian working to be there |
| When those gates of Zion a close |
| Oh, I’ve got to be there |
| Oh, Jah Jah, whoa |
| A nuff Rasta live in a world of emptiness |
| But mind you a go bun dem for their filthiness |
| Come straighten up yourself, Rastaman and make progress |
| 'Cause in the days of Judgement make sure you’re God bless |
| 'Cause I and I-man working to be there |
| When those gates of Zion a close |
| Oh, I’ve got to be there |
| I and I-man working to be there |
| When those gates of Zion a close |
| Oh, I’ve got to be there |
| Oh, Jah Jah, whoa |
| Oh doctors and lawyers and teachers, I’m talking |
| Be careful how you teaching my children the wrong things |
| Teach dem 'bout Selassie and not 'bout that John Paul |
| 'Cause a New World Order in this time is no joke |
| 'Cause I and I-man working to be there |
| When those gates of Zion a close |
| Oh, I’ve got to be there |
| I and I-man working to be there |
| When those gates of Zion a close |
| Oh, I’ve got to be there |
| Oh Lord, yeah |
| Watch what you eat and smell what you’re drinking |
| 'Cause in Geneva conference they try to poison him |
| But true we all know he is the King of all Kings |
| His poodle jump up and made a sacrifice for him |
| So I and I-man working to be there |
| When those gates of Zion a close |
| Rasta got to be there |
| Nyahbingi working to be there |
| When those gates of Zion a close |
| Rasta got to be there |
| So I say, hey |
| Come all the world to get promotion |
| That’s why they come and sing their strange song… |
