Chronixx - Sela**ie Children lyrics

[Verse1] Been laughed at, scrutinised To the point where I had to ask who am I Then I remember what they do to Christ He was nailed to a cross and crucified Now that the light came to me I wonder if they're gonna do the same to me And when the truth hits painfully That's when you know if you're really who you claim to be [Pre-Chorus] For so long we've been denied Rejected and brutalised But jah children shall win the war Cos we know who we are [Chorus] We're sela**ie I children Haile sela**ie children We are Ethiopians by blood Africa was born in us, sela**ie children Haile sela**ie children We know who we are [Verse 2] Young boy threw away his comb So his papa told him find a different home Never come back, hold your own Bout you're a Rasta, I wish I never know you Rejected for the life he choose Cast out, all alone The stone that the builder man refused Shall be the head cornerstone [Pre-Chorus] Soon they will realise That we've been reading between the lines Remember we foretold the war You never forget who we are [Chorus] Tell them, we're sela**ie children Haile sela**ie children We are Ethiopians by blood Africa was born in us [Verse 2] Young girl gotta face the worst Cos her mother just took a look in her purse She find a clay kutchie and some holy herbs And the wise mind of haile i the first Mama say young girl you're losing your mind Did you get these things from Satan She say no mama I got the kutchie from jah9 And the wise mind from i nation [Pre-Chorus] Please mama, don't scrutinise Take this book and give it a try Let this herb open up your eyes Experience the wonders of Rastafari [Chorus] Haile sela**ie children We are haile sela**ie children We are Ethiopians by blood Africa was born in us Haile sela**ie children [Outro] The battle will be hard Haile sela**ie children Still we never stall Sela**ie children Deh ya back a wall Haile sela**ie children Still di Natty never fall Haile sela**ie children Oh coral garden Sela**ie children Look at pinnacle Sela**ie children Still we deh ya now Sela**ie children Never giving up Sela**ie children Take no heart Gil pain Sela**ie children Fight the fights in vain Sela**ie children Even if the battle stains
