10 years I been tryna work my way to Kanye
Skipping cla**, skipping cla**, making beats like all day
Ain't no question if I knew it I would do it one day
Ain't no sense in my sins baby girl I'm sorry
It's in my blood, in my blood, like my name was Marley
Black Star where we going? we the fruit of Garvey
Africa for Africans, where you deh? know where you from?
Organize and centralize come as one and we will rise
Every man will recognize, Jah Jah light will be the guide
From Lumumba to Nkrumah every time we come alive
Fela tell em, Fela tell em, Democracy dem-o-crazy
Stop di madness dem a profit all di zombie dem obey we
Da system yah nuh godly its a mad ting how dem lock we
Its a mockery and a minstrel go ah church and man a sin still
Where the lighter where di fire?
Where Elisha and Elijah?
Ananias and Sapphira dead and gone but we de yah
This is David and Goliath
Itiopia will triumph
At the battle of Adwa
King Sellasie a di Lion
Mamma Africa is crying
Father God me seh we trying
Rastaman seh self reliance
Bring the love and bring the kaya
But my heart is up in Zion
Since a youngin' I been rhyming
Back when Michael was my idol
I was writing in the bible
And if Malcolm was alive I would be a proud disciple
This is spirit this is truth
Tell me who gon raise the youth
Tell me who gon taste the fruit
When the laborers are few
This is knowledge this is power
From the shepard to the herd
To the man in the mirror
This is everything I am
This is everything I were
