Chalice |
| Yeah! |
| Selassie I liveth every time |
| And I say united we stand, and divided we fall |
| Selassie I liveth every time |
| Emmanuel liveth every time |
| Marcus Garvey, him liveth every time |
| Wha' we say? |
| Orthodox, light up the chalice, make we burn down Rome |
| Queen Elizabeth all a weap and moan |
| One thunder ball lick her |
| Hoii, binghi man, chant the nyabinghi, make we chant down Rome |
| Queen Elizabeth all a weap and moan |
| One thunder ball |
| Wha' we say? |
| Israel, shake the shaker, and make we shake down Rome |
| Queen Elizabeth all a weap and moan |
| One thunder ball |
| Wha' mi say? |
| Bobo man, beat the kette drum, and make we beat down Rome |
| Queen Elizabeth all a weap and moan |
| One thunder ball |
| Wha' we say? |
| I say, Klu Klux Klan, dem all a come inna gown |
| 'Bout dem waan fi control the black man’s crown |
| 'Bout dem waan fi run all we owna compound |
| But Selassie I dem make God bless the town |
| Him kill the heathen dem all, and come back alone |
| David killed Goliath with a sling and a stone |
| So the righteous a go lick the heathen dem down |
| Prophet know the truth, now the trumpet haffi sound |
| Chant nyabinghi and go burn down Rome |
| I know Ethiopia is our home |
| I know and it’s also our own |
| I know Vatican will have to go down |
| I know… |
| So, wha' we say?! |
| Rastaman, light up the chalice, make we burn down Rome |
| Queen Elizabeth all a weap and moan |
| One thunder ball |
| Wha' mi say? |
| After me light up the chalice and turn to the East |
| Ice up my block and dismantle the beast |
| Lick mi likkle chalice, the beast a get weak |
| Agony and pressure a deepen dem feet |
| The bear, the eagle, and the dragon must get defeat |
| Babylon a come, and dem a come whole heap |
| Come inna dem tanker, and come inna dem Jeep |
| Tell dem, dem a the less, and tell dem, dem a the least |
| Say Selassie I, dem all tremble like leaf |
| Light up the chalice, make we burn down Rome |
| Queen Elizabeth all a weap and moan |
| One thunder ball |
| Wha' mi say? |
| Rastaman, pass me the ganja, make me load up the cup |
| Vatican city is going to erupt |
| Every lick me lick the chalice, coke head keep up |
| Queen alone a beg, she all drop and bruk up |
| Dem teach we fi borrow, and teach we fi trust |
| Dem teach we fi fight, and teach we fi fuss |
| Dem collect the money, and a we alone work |
| Inna the rain and sun, dem no stop buss mi shirt |
| We chain pon we foot, and pon we hand a handcuff |
| Light up the chalice, Vatican haffi erupt |
| Light up the chalice, make we burn down Rome |
| Queen Elizabeth all a weap and moan |
| One thunder ball |
| Wha' mi say? |
| Rastaman, pass me the ganja, give me the one dem weh strong |
| Light up the chalice, dismantle Vatican |
| Long time me a listen all dem idiot plan |
| About ganja turn man inna mad man |
| Found upon the grave of the king, Solomon |
| Who used to use it by the great |
| Menelik I and Menelik II |
| Light up the chalice, dismantle Vatican |
| Light up the chalice, make we burn down Rome |
| Queen Elizabeth all a weap and moan |
| One thunder ball |
| Wha' mi say? |
| I say, Klu Klux Klan, dem all a come inna gown |
| 'Bout dem waan fi control the black man’s crown |
| 'Bout dem waan fi run all we owna compound |
| But Selassie I done establish the town |
| Kill the heathen dem all, and come back alone |
| David killed Goliath with a sling and a stone |
| So the righteous a go lick the heathen dem down |
| Prophet know the truth, now the trumpet haffi sound |
| Chant nyabinghi and go burn down Rome |
| I know Ethiopia is our home |
| I know and it’s also our own |
| I know Vatican will have to go down |
| I know… |
| So, wha' mi say?! |
| Rastaman, light up the chalice, make we burn down Rome |
| Queen a lose her bell, all a weap and moan |
