Bongo Town |
| You see I don’t come to cause a controversy, but |
| I’m just gonna speak some truth from Imperial Majesty |
| Haile Selassie I, mi Christian brother |
| Jah-overh Jireh — hear the man say |
| The gospel fi preach dung a bongo town (town, town, town) |
| The gospel fi preach dung a congo town (now watch this) |
| The gospel fi preach dung a bongo town (town, town, town) |
| The gospel fi preach dung a congo town (watch this) |
| Me love the church, but the Christians save |
| So me start preach the gospel 'pon di highways, the by-ways |
| Inspired by Haile Selassie |
| To the Ras them we want bring clarity (boom, now) |
| Mi love drumming and the ites, gold and green an' (yeah) |
| Mi love the ital vege and the beans an' (yeah) |
| Mi love the gesture sey man heart fi clean |
| Wus mi no nyam, if yuh know whey me mean |
| A mi no deh ya so fi cause confusion |
| But did you know that Selassie was a Christian? |
| Him make the most churches give to the Africans |
| And bring Orthodox to Jamaicans and say: |
| «A man without Christ is like a ship without a rudder» |
| '66, when him land inna Jamaica, people bow down |
| Him say rise up mi brother: «I'm not God, I am sent by the Father» |
| The gospel fi preach dung a bongo town (up a Bobo hill yeah) |
| The gospel fi preach dung a congo town (round a Judgement y’all) |
| The gospel fi preach dung a bongo town (we a go tek it out a 9 mile) |
| The gospel fi preach dung a congo town (a nyabinghi) |
| A make a trod me and mi brethren dem (yeah) |
| Nyabinghi a gwaan dung a May Pen |
| And when mi stop inna the middle a di square |
| A hear man a bun gays and queers now |
| Another man a bun a fire 'pon another man |
| Another man a tell another man him badder than |
| True mi no Rasta, him say mi no him brother |
| To Selassie that’s a big contradiction, 'cause |
| Selassie ano Christ, so a Christ yuh fi honour |
| Inna passa passa business, Selassie never walla |
| Rastaman, this is a tough pill fi swallow |
| But a Jesus Selassie I follow |
| The gospel fi preach dung a bongo town (up a Wareika) |
| The gospel fi preach dung a congo town (a fire house) |
| The gospel fi preach dung a bongo town |
| The gospel fi preach dung a congo town (so watch this) |
| The truth hurt, but the truth set you free |
| Inna Matthew 24, Jah sey: «Listen to me: |
| When me come again, everybody a go see» |
| So a couldn’t him land a Norman Manley |
| A full time we put down the confusion |
| A house that’s divided just can’t stand |
| So go read your Bible, go read all or none |
| It say Jesus a the only Son, me done |
| The gospel fi preach dung a bongo town (a dung a Trench Town) |
| The gospel fi preach dung a congo town (inna tenement y’all) |
| The gospel fi preach dung a bongo town (a up a Judgement y’all) |
| The gospel fi preach dung a congo town |
| The gospel fi preach dung a bongo town (a wey you go, a Bobo Hill) |
| The gospel fi preach dung a congo town (every corner) |
| The gospel fi preach dung a bongo town (a just the good news) |
| The gospel fi preach dung a congo town (Jesus alive) |
